22
Q

3 components of a training session

A

Warm up
Conditioning
Cool down

23
Q

Benefits of a warm-up

A
Increase muscle temperature
Increase core body temperature
Increase elasticity of muscles
Increase heart rate
Increases respiratory rate
Increase oxygenated blood flow to working muscles
24
Q

Warm-up exercise examples

A
Jog for 5-10 mins (general phase)
Dynamic stretching (dynamic phase)
25
Q

What is the conditioning phase?

A

The conditioning phase refers to the components of a training session that focuses on development and maintenance of specific skills, fitness components, muscle groups and energy systems required in sport.

26
Q

Conditioning phase considerations

A

Training volume and intensity

27
Q

Cool down phases

A

Active recovery

Stretching

28
Q

Benefits of a cool down

A
Removes metabolic by-products
Gradually reduces heart rate
Reduction in muscle stiffness
Reduction in DOMS
Maintains elevated levels of oxygen to muscles
Prevents venous pooling

41
Q

Nutritional recovery strategies

A

Consume high-GI carb foods within 30 mins post-exercise

Consume proteins post-exercise

42
Q

Benefits of consuming high-GI carbs post exericse

A

Faster absorption of fuel
Faster resynthesis of depleted glycogen stores
Increased glucose uptake

43
Q

Benefits of consuming protein post exericse

A

Faster muscle protein resynthesis
Reverse catabolic phase
Increased uptake of amino acids

44
Q

When should carbohydrate loading occur?

A

When an event lasts longer than 90 minutes

45
Q

Benefits of consuming high-GI carbs and protein TOGETHER post-exercise

A

Prolongs the window of insulin security which accelerates muscle glycogen replenishment
Insulin also accelerates protein synthesis, allowing for the repair and building of muscles used in exercise.

46
Q

Nutritional recovery consideration paragraph example

A

To enhance performance and aid recovery, I recommend that a participant consumes high GI carbohydrates and protein together within 30 minutes after completing exercise. Consuming these two together increases the window length of insulin sensitivity, allowing for acceleration of resynthesis of depleted glycogen stores so they can return to pre-exercise levels quicker so they can train the next day. It also accelerates protein synthesis, allowing for the repair and building of muscles used in exercise, such as the calves, hamstrings and quads in continuous or chest, shoulders, biceps etc. in resistance training.
