Week 5 - Speed Endurance Training Flashcards
Define speed endurance
Ability to maintain a high speed for a prolonged period of time + to recover speed following short recovery periods.
Sports where speed endurance is a key fitness component
Track + field — 200-800m
Track Cycling — 500-1000m
Swimming — 50-200m
Value of speed endurance in team sports
25-40 sprints in a game, 2-4 secs
Work:Rest – 1:6
How long do bouts last for speed endurance production training
10-40s
Perf at max or near Max intensity
What is recovery/rest like for speed endurance production training
More than 5 times the exercise bout duration.
How long do bouts last for speed endurance maintenance training
5-90s
What is recovery/rest like for speed endurance maintenance training
Shorter rest period between bouts
1-3 times exercise duration.

Recovery duration
120s - 40s
Describe a typical speed endurance training programme
Duration: 4-8 weeks
Sessions: 3-4
No. of bout reps per session: 4-12
Duration of exercise bout: 30s
Intensity of exercise bout: 90-100% of max speed
Recovery between bouts: 4-6mins
Energy Systems contributions to 30s Wingate test
PCR = approx 28% of total ATP req.
Oxidative phosphorylation contributes around 16%.
If you extended the sprint beyond 30s, then the contribution from aerobic metabolism would further ⬆️.
Remaining 56 % of ATP demand for 30s all out sprint, is provided by anaerobic glycolysis.
== Glycolysis = primary source of ATP during this prolonged sprint activity.
Why isn’t heavy reliance on anaerobic glycolysis sustainable for a long time?
Limited glycogen stores
Prod. of LA = ⬆️ H+ = Muscle acidosis
What does muscle acidosis inhibit?
Glycolysis + perhaps the contractile apparatus.
Diff in amount speed endurance training vs endurance training increases muscle glycogen stores
SET == 28%
End. training = 17%
By how much does SET ⬆️ muscle buffering capacity
8%
How does SET ⬆️ muscle buffering capacity
By ⬆️ no. of intramuscular buffers
+
⬆️ no. of H+ transporters (exporting H+ outside muscle + into bloodstream)
What are the intramuscular buffers?
Carnosine protein
Sodium phosphate
What type of transporters also transport H+ out of muscle fibre
Membrane embedded transporters
What buffer is there in the blood to neutralise H+
Bicarbonate buffer
