Q

principles of training

A
  • Specificity: neuromuscular activation level, movement type to specific to sports needs and energy systems
  • progressive overload: increasing load, maintaining a stimulus for adaptation, avoiding non-functional overreaching/ overtraining
  • variety & periodization: varying stimulus supports stimulus for adaptation, allows for multi system development, focusing on diff. aspects of training
  • rest & recovery: adaptation occurs in recovery from session, must consider type of training in permitting recovery or limit adaptations

Q

when does adaptation occur

A
  • when the body’s homeostasis is disturbed
  • needs recovery -> when you get stronger
  • theres almost no such thing as overtraining: instead its almost always a problem of under-recovery

Q

why does lactate accumulate

A
  • it must be removed: if LDH moved toward pyruvate formation in cytosol, it would require NAD
141
Q

when does lactate accumulate

A
  • lactate may be: converted back to pyruvate with LDH, uptaken into mito, transported from to blood to type I fibres/liver/brain/heart
  • skeletal muscle lactate (and H+) transported to blood via monocarboxylate transporter
142
Q

how does lactate accumulate

A
  • sum of metabolic byproduct accumulation (anaerobic gly) and metabolic byproduct removal/disappearance
  • [BLa] is associated with fatigue but does not cause it
143
Q

is the shift to aerobic gly d/t lack of o2

A

no
- PO2 of skeletal muscles does decline but is still above threshold for ATP synthesis
- La levels incr in muscles before decr in skeletal muscle PO2
- maximal contractions in hyperoxia dont incr PPO
- rate of ATP supplied by oxidative metabolism cant meet the demand of contractile muscle (NOT LACK OF O2)
- incr ex intensity –> greater recruitment of type II –> lower oxidative capacity

145
Q

anaerobic vs aerobic threshold

A
  • no true shift (both happen at all times)
  • dependent on substrate availability, hormones, previous activity, environment
    1. aerobic threshold (1st transition): below this- must train for long duration to incr fitness, above this- less use f fat as fuel
    2. anaerobic threshold (2nd transition): beyond- unable to maintain intensity for longer than an hour , hard to talk
146
Q

submaximal exercises

A
  • needs to achieve metabolic steady state: ATP supply is being met through aerobic system
  • initial activation of ATP-PCr and aerobic gly fills ATP gap until oxidative phosphorylation can meet energy demand (O2 deficit)
  • krebs cycle enzymes incr d/t slight decr in NADH/NAD and ATP/ADP ratios
  • small amount sof La released from contracting muscles at lower intensity (low [BLa])
  • PHD regulated by levels of acetyl-CoA, NADH, ATP
147
