19
Q

Effective endurance training for any population must produce a __________ or _________ response.

A

conditioning or CV response

20
Q

What are the 4 cardiac responses to endurance training?

A
  • Increased myocardial contractility
  • Increased cardiac output
  • Increased HR
  • Increase SBP
21
Q

What are the vascular responses to endurance training?

A
  • Generalize vasoconstriction shunting arterial blood to working areas.
  • Veins of working and nonworking muscles constricted to increase cardiac return.
  • The muscles trained develops a greater oxidative capacity with an increase in blood flow to the area.
22
Q

A
  • Frequency
  • Interval
  • Time
  • Type
23
Q

Training produces _________ and/or __________ adaptation. Training for a particular sport or event is dependent on the ___________ principle.
