Muscular Adaptations Flashcards
1
Q
Muscle Structure
A
Capacity of slow twitch fibres increase as a result of aerobic training, Slow twitch fibres increase in size and fast twitch take on characteristics of slow twitch
2
Q
Mitochondria
A
Increase in size, number and surface area enhancing the ability of the muscle to produce ATP aerobically
3
Q
Myoglobin
A
Greater ability to uptake oxygen to the muscle cells
4
Q
Increased AVO2 difference
A
More oxygen being used by the muscles
5
Q
Increase in oxidative enzymes
A
Speeding up breakdown of ATP fuels
6
Q

A
Increased rate of energy
7
Q
Increased ATPase
A
Faster breakdown of ATP to ADP
8
