A
51
Q

Why is Glycogen the aerobic systems preferred fuel?

A
52
Q

Aerobic Training Methods

A

continuous training
fartlek training
long interval training

53
Q

How can CHO loading improve aerobic performance ?

A

CHO loading prolongs the use of glycogen

54
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
