Recovery process Flashcards
What is the recovery process?
Events occurring during or after exercise
Recovery maintain an elevated heart rate and body temperature
Epoc is used to repay oxygen debt
What are the factors that affect recovery periods?
type of energy system used in performance
the fitness of the performer
Why does the type of energy system used have an effect?
Atp-pc takes 30 seconds up to 3 minutes to recover
building up of lactic acidosis takes longer
aerobic wikl continues as long as there’s glucose and fats available to oxidise
What factors affect which energy system is used at intensities?
fibre type
efficiency of respiratory system
cardiac output of the performer
What is the basis of the intensities?
The greater the performer is at delievers g oxygen to the muscle cell the greater the ability to exercise at higher intensities without using the anaerobic system reducing fatigue of lactic acid
What is obla
the point at which the performer is producing more lactic acid than they can remove (anaerobic threshold) onset of blood lact
What are the implications of recovery on exercise?
very high intensity- increased muscle mass use of atp pc stores
high intensity- buffering lactic acid capacity increased tolerance
low intensity- higher vo2 max
What are additional implications?
There are a variety of other recovery implications an athlete should consider :
- conducting and effective warm up increases oxygen delivery
- active recovery session after exercise completion maintains oxygen delivery
- cooling aids such as ice baths to speed up lactic acid removal and help reduce Delayed Onset of Muscular Soreness
- nutrition – increasing consumption of creatine, protein, carbohydrate can aid in the recovery process.
- strategies and tactics- can be manipulated by the coach to allow players recovery periods at breaks in games or timeouts in certain sports
