Speed endurance training

Question 1

Speed endurance definition

Answer 1

• Ability to maintain high speed for a prolonged duration (200-800m)
• Ability to recover speed following short recovery periods (team sports)

Question 2

SE production/maintenance training

Answer 2

Production - 10-40s reps at max, 5x exercise recovery time

Maintenance - 5-90s, 1-3 exercise recovery time

Question 3

Physiological adaptations

Answer 3

SET = ^ glycogen stores & muscle buffering capacity, glycolytic enzyme activity, ^ mitochondria, enzyme activity, capillarisation, number of Na+-k+ ATPase pumps, oxidative enzymes, IIa shift

Question 4

Performance link

Answer 4

SET = ^ SE perf & Endurance perf ( ^lipid metabolism, & V02 kinetics - less lactate produced, more glycogen stored)

Question 5

SET training importance

Answer 5

much more time efficient than ET for similar adaptations & important for team sports to maintenance high tempo throughout
