LT Phy Flashcards
What are anatomical adaptations? Give the 3 types
Changes in structure of body or body part Including: Change in size Change in number Change in viscosity
What is continuous training?
Performing at a constant work rate intensity, typically long duration and mid/low intensity
What is aerobic training?
Any type of exercise that aims to stress the aerobic producing capacity of the body
What is interval training?
Training at a specific W:R ratio. Training can be suited for the desired output, and hence is applicable to almost any performer
What is plyometric training?
Training to stress the body’s ability to work explosively, exploiting the elastic properties of muscle to develop power, co-ordination and dynamic balance, it involves performing eccentric contractions immediately followed by concentric contractions, generating a higher force
What is circuit training?
Different exercises being performed in a sequence at exercise stations. Intensity and duration can altered, and hence fit a variety of performers
What is weight training?
Working with a variable resistance that can be generated by use of free weights
What is resistance training?
Similar to weight, although bodyweight can be used
What is speed training?
Maximal strength or max power exercised
Give cardio adaptations of aerobic training
Increased vascularisation
Increase rbc count
Cardiac hypertrophy
Increased SV Increased max cardiac output Increased end diastolic volume Decreased end systolic volume Bradycardia Increased vo2 max Increased efficiency of cardiac and respiratory muscles Elevation of lactate threshold
Give muscular adaptations of aerobic training
Increased vascularisation of localised tissue
Increased production of myoglobin
Increased size and density of mitochondria
Reduction in body fat
Increased stores of muscle glycogen
Increased endurance capacities of localised muscles
Increased efficiency at utilising oxygen
Give skeletal and connective tissue adaptations of aerobic training
Increased thickness of ligaments and tendons
New stress layers in supporting bones
Increased elasticity of tendons
Increased strength of ligaments
Increased strength of bones
Give neuromuscular adaptations of aerobic exercise
Increased calcium deposits
Increase capacity for muscle fibre recruitment
Increased capacity for wave summation
Give other/general adaptations of aerobic exercise
Increased production of aerobic catalytic enzymes
Increased metabolic rate
Increased capacity to utilise fat as energy fuel at higher intensity
Increased parasympathetic nervous activity
Give cardio adaptations of anaerobic training
Increased thickness of ventricular myocardium
Increased lactic acid tolerance
Increased capacity to remove lactic acid
