PDHPE Core 2 Flashcards
Energy Systems
- ATP/PC (alactacid)
- Lactic acid system
- Aerobic system
ATP/PC System
Adenosine Triphosphate Source of fuel: Creatine-phosphate Efficiency of ATP production: Limited Duration of the system: 10-12 seconds Cause of fatigue: body has used up stores of PC By-products: none Rate of recovery: short; 2 minutes
Lactic Acid System
No oxygen
Source of fuel: glucose and glycogen
Efficiency of ATP production: very efficient with glucose
Duration of system: depends on intensity; max = 30 secs
Cause of fatigue: lactate in muscles (OBLA)
By-products: pyruvic acid
Rate of recovery: 20 minutes to 2 hours for lactic acid to be removed from the blood
Aerobic System
Requires oxygen
Source of Fuel: carbohydrates, fats, protein
Efficiency of ATP production: efficient in providing ongoing supply
Duration of system: up to a few hours
Cause of fatigue: depletion of glucose in working muscles
By-products: carbon dioxide and water
Rate of recovery: dependent on the type of activity. 24-48 hours
Types of training and training methods
- Aerobic: fartlek, continuous, circuit, interval
- Anaerobic: anaerobic interval
- Flexibility: static, dynamic, PNF, ballistic
- Strength training: free/fixed weights, elastic, hydraulic
Aerobic training methods
Fartlek
Continuous
Circuit
Interval
Principles of Training
- Progressive Overload
- Specificity
- Variety
- Reversibility
- Training thresholds
- Warm up/Cool Down
Physiological adaptations in response to training
- Resting heart rate
- Stroke volume and cardiac output
- Oxygen uptake and lung capacity
- Haemoglobin level
- Muscle hypertrophy
- Effect on slow/fast twitch muscle fibres
Stroke volume and cardiac output
Stroke volume: amount of blood ejected out of the left ventricle per contraction. —–> increases
Cardiac output: amount of blood ejected out of the left ventricle per minute —-> increases
Oxygen uptake and lung capacity
Oxygen uptake: volume of oxygen absorbed by the body
—-> increases
Lung capacity: how much oxygen the lungs can hold
—-> cannot change
Haemoglobin level
Binds and transports o2; molecules that carry oxygen.
—-> increases
Muscle hypertrophy
Change in the shape and size of muscles.
—-> increases
Slow twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibres
Slow twitch - endurance athletes.
Fast twitch - explosive, anaerobic athletes.
—-> both increase
What is Vo2 max?
Maximum volume of oxygen the lungs can hold.
Can be tested with a Vo2 max test on a stationary bike or treadmill.
What are the different types of motivation?
- Positive/negative
2. Intrinsic/extrinsic
