Q

PLYOMETRICS

Phase 1

A

Eccentric - lengthening and loading phase

Increasing elastic energy

Muscle spindles detect lengthening, send message to CNS, if over stretched then the stretch reflex will be recruited

Q

HIIT

Benifits

A
  • uses aerobic and anaerobic systems = good for games players
  • increased lactate buffering = delayed OBLA

Q

ALTITUDE

EPO

A

the body adapts to the reduced O2 by EPO

Stimulates the production of RBC so more O2 can be carried by haemoglobin

Benefits

A
  • increased vo2 max
  • increased lung capacity
  • improved lactate buffering
  • stimulates EPO
17
Q

ALTITUDE

Drawbacks

A
  • altitude sickness
  • start to loose benifits after 24-48h
  • travel costs
  • loose fitness at first

Q

ALTITUDE

Alternatives

A

Altitude tents - recreated lower PP of O2

Live high train low

Working out in a hypoxic chamber
