Physiological adaptations to anaerobic training Flashcards
What is the energy system used in very short high-intensity efforts (<5s)?
ATP + PCr
What is the energy system used in short, high-intensity efforts (5s - 1 or 2 mins)?
Glycolytic
What is the energy system used in extended high-intensity efforts (1 or 2 mins or 1 or 2 hrs)?
Glycogen
What is the energy system used in endurance efforts (> 1 - 2 hrs)
Oxidative
What is the energy system used in prolonged or repeated single short sprints?
ATP+PCr and glycolytic
What occurs physiologically during anaerobic sprint efforts?
- Rapid decrease in PCr as it supplies energy to resythesize ATP
- Aerobic glycolysis stimulated to supply energy
- Lactate and H+ produced which decreased pH (increases acidity)
- Anaerobic glycolytic system starts to fatigue, aerobic sources called on but the rate will have to slow.
What are the goals of anaerobic training?
- improve the rate of energy supply
- improve the capacity of anaerobic energy systems to supply energy
What are the 2 ways of training the anaerobic energy systems?
- High intensity intervals (HIIT)
2. Speed and speed endurance sprints: prolonged or short sprints
What are the metabolic ATP+PCr system adaptations to anaerobic training?
- increase creatine kinase activity (short sprints)
- increase myosin kinase activity (short sprints)
What are the metabolic Glycolytic system adaptations to anaerobic training?
- increase phosphorylase (PHOS) following training (prolonged or short sprints)
- increase phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity following training (prolonged or combination sprints)
- increase lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
- overall = increase glycolytic enzymes -> increase rate and duration of energy supply
What are the metabolic aerobic system adaptations to anaerobic training?
- increase SDH
- increase citrate synthase
- increase VO2 max
- improved recovery (PCr recovery and HLa clearance)
What are the changes in resting metabolites with anaerobic training?
- ATP may decrease following high volume/intensity
- ATP:ADP decreases with heavy training
leads to: - increase adenylate kinase reaction to energy supply
- increase myoadenylate deaminase reaction
= loss of purine bases to resynthesize ATP - increase lactate and H+ with high intensity exercise utilizing anaerobic glyoclytic pathways
- increase in H+ = decrease pH = acidic - fatigue
- increase monocarboxylate transporters (MCT)
- increased Max Hla- = better clearance
What are the general Muscular adaptations to anaerobic training?
- changes in fibre types
- changes in fibre size
- changes in sacroplasmic reticulum
What are the muscle fibre type adaptations to anaerobic training?
- increased type II fibres (prolonged sprints with short recovery has less type II development and some Type I)
What are the muscle fibre size changes to anaerobic training?
- increased type 2 CSA
- possibly increase type 1 CSA
