Q

Myoglobin and mitochondria link (Aerobic)

A

More myoglobin = more oxygen stored = mitochondria can use oxygen stored = increased respiration rate = increased energy production

Q

Effects on sporting performance
(Oxygen) (Aerobic)

A

• increased delivery of oxygenated blood 2 working muscles
• increased oxygen carrying capacity
• increased AVO2diff - greater extraction of oxygen at working muscles
• increased VO2 max

17
Q

Effect on sporting performance
(Substrates & usage) (Aerobic)

A

• increased anaerobic threshold = work in aerobic zone for longer
• preserve anaerobic stored = can be used for high intensity efforts like sprint finish

18
