Q

What is the hopper model?

A

It is a balance of skills and drills to be ready for anything that could come.

The fittest person will perform statistically best across all the activities, and a fitness program should better prepare an individual for any conceivable event.

Q

What are the three metabolic pathways?

A

The fittest person will have the best balance of capacity across all pathways, and a fitness program should develop your capacity in each.

  1. Phosphagen
  2. Glycolytic
  3. Oxidative

Q

What are the characteristics (% max power, and duration) of the glycolytic pathway?

A
  1. Also called the lactate pathway
  2. Can produce approximately 70% of maximum power
  3. Lasts about 2 minutes, peaking at approximately 60 seconds — e.g., 400-meter sprint

Q

What are the characteristics (% max power, and duration) of the oxidative pathway?

A
  1. Also called the aerobic pathway
  2. Can produce approximately 40% of maximum power
  3. Sustainable until the anaerobic threshold is crossed — e.g., a 10,000-meter run

Q

To develop the best overall capacity in all three energy systems, a training program should rely primarily on which pathway?

A

The glycolytic pathway, using shorter, higher-intensity work.

Q

What is the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness continuum?

A

The fittest will have “fit” values for any measurable marker, and a fitness program should push every marker in that direction.

Fitness is and should be “super-wellness.”

Q

How do we measure fitness?
Work capacity across broad time and modal domain

A

The work capacity is the area under the curve: power (work capacity) in the function of the workout duration. This curve is the best fit for an athlete’s workouts. The bigger the area is, the bigger the work capacity is.

16
Q

What are the three program characteristics that enable athletes to quantify the result?

A

The results of your program need to be measurable, observable, and repeatable.

17
Q

What is the difference between “training” and “practice”?

A

We define “training” as the organic change within the muscular system-

We define “practice” as learning or refining a movement/motor pattern.

18
Q

Definition of health?

A

Work capacity across broad times and modal domains across the years of your life

19
Q

Define anaerobic

A

Energy is derived anaerobically when energy is liberated from substrates in the
absence of oxygen.

20
Q

Define aerobic

A

Energy is derived aerobically when oxygen is utilized to metabolize substrates derived from food and liberates energy.

21
Q

Define evidence-based

A

Measurable, observable, repeatable
