WEEK 1 Flashcards
Components of talent identification
- What do athletes need to be able to do?
- What fitness outcomes are elite athletes exceptional at?
- How do you test these outcomes?
- Do your tests accurately identify elite athletes?
Physiological determinants of distance running performance
Vo2max, lactate threshold and running economy
Sustainable aerobic power
rate or aerobic ATP production; determined by CP and LT
Efficiency
how fast we can go for amount of ATP we’re producing; determined by sustainable aerobic power, determines sustainable speed
What fitness outcomes are elite runners exceptional at?
- Vo2 max
- LT
- CP/speed
- Efficiency
Components of monitoring progress in athletes
- What do athletes need to be able to do?
- What fitness outcomes are elite athletes exceptional at?
- How do you train those outcomes (S&C)
- How do you test/monitor those outcomes?
- Do your tests accurately monitor the outcomes of interest?
How can we improve efficiency?
Higher speed at same Vo2max
How can tell if we’re improving lactate threshold?
Faster speed at lactate threshold; better able to match ATP outflow with ATP inflow
Components of monitoring progress in a normal individual
- What is the individual trying to improve?
- What fitness outcomes are elite athletes exceptional at?
- How do you train those outcomes (S&C)
- How do you test/monitor those outcomes?
- Do your tests accurately monitor the outcomes of interest?
Moderate intensity domain
- Steady state (hours)
-Fats
-Easy-no fatigue
-Low ADP-low lactate, H+, Pi and muscle glycogen
-Aerobic metabolism- can match ADP production w ATP production
-Slow
Heavy intensity domain
- Steady state w fatigue
- Imbalance btwn ATP production and utilization- increased ADP, H+ and Pi
-Start to use PCR as substrate
-1-1.5 hours
Severe intensity domain
- Fatigue within min
- Rapid ADP accumulation
- PCR
