Q

How can an athlete maintain a high contribution from the ATP-PC system?

A

To maintain a high contribution from the ATP-PC system, an athlete can:

Short, Intense Training: Use high-intensity interval training (HIIT).

Adequate Rest: Allow 3-5 minutes of recovery between efforts.

Nutrition: Focus on carbs and creatine.

Specific Drills: Practice explosive, sport-specific movements.

Conditioning: Train near the lactate threshold.

Q

Advantages of the Anaerobic Glycolysis system ?

A

The anaerobic glycolysis system offers several advantages, including rapid energy production, allowing for quick bursts of energy during high-intensity activities. It operates without the need for oxygen, making it effective in low-oxygen environments. This system is particularly suited for short-duration efforts lasting 30 seconds to 2 minutes, such as sprinting or weightlifting,

Q

Fatigue Mechanism- Anaerobic Glycolysis system

A

build of h + ions ~ which causes athlete to fatigue and slowdown

A

Active recovery

37
Q

Physiological benefit of the skeletal muscle pump

A
38
Q

Activities of high contribution from the Anaerobic Glycolysis System

A

400m Sprint
repeated sprint efforts
100m swim

39
Q

How do Glycolytic enzymes lead to improved performance ?

A

by improving the efficiency and capacity of energy production, glycolytic enzymes help athletes perform at higher intensities for longer durations.

40
Q

How does the ability to buffer & tolerate lacatate/fatiguing metabolites lead to improved performance ?

43
Q

Fatigue Mechanisms - The Aerobic System

A

glycogen depletion and possible dehydration

44
Q

Recovery strategies - The Aerobic System

A

Active Recovery

45
Q

Why does the Aerobic system have a infinite capacity ?

A

The aerobic system is considered to have “infinite” capacity because it can continuously produce energy as long as there’s enough oxygen and fuel (carbohydrates and fats)

46
Q

What role does the aerobic system have in recovering from maximal intensity activities?

A

The Aerobic system plays a role in recovering from maximal intensities as it assists in the clearing of lactate, replenishment of ATP & PC aswell as supplying oxygen for energy demand and promoting blood flow to rid waste products

47
Q

Activities with a high contribution from the aerobic system

A

5km Run

48
Q

what is the Interplay of triglycerides and glycogen at higher & lower submaximal intensities (65-85%) ?

A

at lower submaximal intensities closer to 65% triglycerides become the primary energy source whereas when intensity’s reach 85% glycogen becomes the primary energy source

49
Q

Why is Glycogen the aerobic systems preferred fuel?

A

because it is broken down quickly into glucose providing rapid energy

50
Q

Aerobic Training Methods

A

continuous training
fartlek training
long interval training
circuit training
HITT

51
Q

How can CHO loading improve aerobic performance ?

A

CHO loading prolongs the use of glycogen

52
Q

What is CHO Loading ?

A

by consuming 10-15 grams CHO/ per kilo body weight; the athlete can store more glycogen in the muscle per event (up to 150%), this will delay the use of triglycerides as a fuel & maintain use of glycogen as the preferred fuel for longer this enables the athlete to work at optimal aerobic intensities for longer
