Q

Exercise economy

A

A measure of the efficiency of movement when performing aerobic training - greater exercise economy requires less energy for a given movement velocity

16
Q

Karvonen method

A

Method of calculating desired heart rate for a given intensity that subtracts heart rate reserve from age-predicted maximal heart rate and multiplies the result by the desired intensity to determine the goal heart rate during the training session

17
Q

Lactate threshold

A

The point of intensity at which blood and muscle lactate levels begin to rise

18
Q

Long, slow distance training (LSD)

A

Longer training sessions (i.e. running) at approximately 70% VO2 max or 80% Max HR

19
Q

Maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 Max)

A

The maximal intensity at which the body can supply oxygen to working muscles

20
Q

Maximal lactate steady state

A

The point at which lactate production during exercise is equal to the maximal rate of lactate clearance capabilities

21
Q

Metabolic equivalent (MET)

A

The amount of energy required when at rest, used to express the relative energy demands of different activities as a multiple of 1 MET (i.e. 5 METS = 5x the energy requirement of resting)

22
Q

Mode

A

The aerobic activity chosen (i.e. running, swimming, cycling)

23
Q

Off-season

A

Period of training leading up to pre-season that typically includes longer durations of less intensity when performing aerobic exercise modes

24
Q

Overload

A

The process of increasing demands on different bodily systems to stimulate athletic adaptations

25
Q

Pace/tempo training

A

Training at an intensity at or slightly above race competition intensity

26
Q

Percentage of maximal heart rate method (MHR)

A

Method of prescribing target heart rate by multiplying desired intensity by an athlete’s age-predicted maximal heart rate

27
Q

Postseason

A

Period of training following competition season where athletes can rehabilitate injuries, correct muscle imbalances, and perform less overall aerobic exercise to recovery from the previous training and competition

28
Q

Preseason

A

Period of increased training intensity leading up to in-season/competition season

29
Q

Ratings of perceived exertion (RPE)

A

A subjective scale of 1-10 used to self-analyze the intensity of exercise - 1=no effort, 10 = maximal effort

30
Q

Recovery

A

The amount of time between workouts where athletes are rehydrating, refueling, resting, and relaxing to improve performance on subsequent sessions

31
Q

Tapering

A

Period of planned, precise decreased volume or intensity in the days or weeks leading up to a competition
