MIDTERM 1 Flashcards
What are the 2 main considerations in training and conditioning?
- Metabolic: energy systems (the engine)
- Mechanical: neuro-muscular considerations (the chassis and wheels)
What is the definition of Endurance?
The ability to sustain physical performance, briefly or for a long time
The ability to repeat brief or prolonged physical performance
Performance equals?
Movement!
What type of relationship is the Power-Duration Curve?
Hyperbolic relationship
What does the hypothetical energy continuum look like?
- Rest
- Anaerobic threshold (AT): 17%
- VO2max: 25%
- Lactic
- Alactic
- Max: 100%
What would be categorized as aerobic endurance?
Continuous: marathon
What would be categorized as aerobic-anaerobic endurance?
Continuous-interval-intermittent: 10k, 5k, middle distance
What would be categorized as anaerobic endurance?
Isolated/brief: sprints
What is Continuous?
(sustained effort) one intensity throughout
What is Interval?
high intensity (around threshold or higher) but short duration, alternating with recovery periods (active or passive)
What is intermittent?
high intensity (above VO2max) and very short duration (less than 1 min) with variable recovery periods and movement patterns in-between (stop and go agility drills)
The harder the effort…
the shorter the time you can sustain it
What is GXT?
Graded eXercise Test
What is FTP?
Functional Threshold Power
What is VDOT?
Surrogate for VO2max in runners by Daniels
What is LSD?
Long, Slow, Distance
What are the three traditional factors of endurance performance?
- VO2max
- Lactate threshold: factional utilization of VO2max
- Economy/Efficiency (mechanical aspect)
Extra: pacing strategy, central governor, psychological
What percent of VO2 is LSD?
50-70%
What percent of VO2 is Anaerobic Threshold?
75-85%
What percent of VO2 is VO2max?
100%
Intervals:
1. Work: 90-100%
2. Relief: 30-40%
What is VO2max?
The maximal rate of oxygen consumption
Measure of POWER, not CAPACITY
