Question 1

what are three selective targets for training aids

Answer 1

exercise stress, environmental stress and nutritional stress.

Question 2

what are examples of training aids decreasing stress (and strain), before, during or after exercise. for exercise

Answer 2

compression garments. reduce CV strain.

Question 3

what are examples of training aids decreasing stress (and strain), before, during or after exercise. ENVIRONMENT

Answer 3

supplement oxygen (reduce hypoxia), cold-water immersion (reduce muscle temp).

Question 4

what are examples of training aids decreasing stress (and strain), before, during or after exercise. nutrition

Answer 4

sports drink, energy gels and multivitamins .

Question 5

what are examples of training aids increasing stress (and strain), before, during or after exercise. nutrition

Answer 5

low carbohydrate training.

Question 6

what are examples of training aids increasing stress (and strain), before, during or after exercise. environment

Answer 6

sauna bathing, altitude training.

Question 7

what are examples of training aids increasing stress (and strain), before, during or after exercise.

Answer 7

increase force; ankle weights, towing sleds etc

Question 8

what four things should you consider when deciding on training aids.

Answer 8

the purpose of your training (eg if you want to be fitter or not)
what factors limit fitness
could this approach have beneficial effects?
what does the research show?

Question 9

guiding principles for if it is relavant/ applicable i.e valid for your context.

Answer 9

fitness level, sex, dosage od intervention, timing of intervention, energy systems, movement patterns, motivation of participants vs athletes and time course of effect.

Question 10

how much does sport drinks improve endurance performance with breakfast?

Answer 10

0.2%

Question 11

does compression clothing improve perception of recovery from training?

Answer 11

yes.

Question 12

customary use for compression

Answer 12

lymphodema, immobilsation and post-surgery and air travel.

Question 13

rationale of compression

Answer 13

increase venous velocity and decrease pooling. myogenic decrease of constriction.

Question 14

compression during exercise

Answer 14

increase blood flow/ venous return
increase movement efficiency (increase proprioception, decrease muscle oscillation)
thermoregulation (cooler)

Question 15

evidence regarding compression

Answer 15

not outstanding. need to consider placebo.

Question 16

compression in recovery

Answer 16

increase muscle metabolic recovery.
decrease muscle damage (Creatine kinesas in blood)
