Long term adaptations Flashcards
what are the adaptations for ATP-PC system
increase creatine stores
what is increase creatine stores
can exercise atp-pc system for slightly longer as more ATP is broken down
what is increase tolerance to lactate
waste product from lactate system and a tolerance to lactate allows muscle to work for longer without fatiguing
what is increase use of fat as an energy store
training increases ability to use fats as an energy source which helps to produce more energy
what is increase storage of glycogen
will benefit aerobic energy system as it provides extra energy for longer at higher intensity
what is increase in mitochondria
produce more energy that lasts longer- increases oxidative capacity in muscles
what are the adaptations for lactate system
increase tolerance to lactic acid
what are the adaptations for the aerobic system
- increase use of fat as an energy store
- increase storage of glycogen
- increase in mitochondria
