Ch 11
Chronic adaptations to anaerobic training
≈ muscle fiber number (hyperplasia)
↑ type I/II recruitment and cross-sectional area (hypertrophy)
↑ percent of type II, ↓ percent of type I fibers
↑ neural activation
↑ ligament/tendon strength
↑ pain tolerance
↑ storage content of ATP, PCr, glycogen
↑ key immediate and glycolytic enzymes
↑ mitochondrial density, ↓ mitochondrial strength
↑ lactate buffer
≈/↑ VO2max (depends on H.I.I.T.)
Chronic adaptations to aerobic training
↑ left ventricle mass, chamber size, wall thickness
↑ blood and plasma volume
↑ rest, submax, and max stroke volume (SV)
↓ rest and submax heart rate, ≈ max heart rate (HR)
≈ rest and submax cardiac output, ↑ max cardiac output (Q̇)
≈ rest arteriovenous O2 difference, ↑ submax and max arteriovenous O2 difference (a-vO2diff)
↑ capillarization and myoglobin
↑ mitochondrial density, function (biogenesis), and clearance (mitophagy)
↑ oxidative enzymes
↑ lactate threshold (clearance), VO2, and economy
↑ type I fiber size and number
Laboratory methods of assessing body composition in order of most to least accurate. Must include the scientific name, colloquial name, and error %.
Absorptiometry (dual x-ray absorptiometry [DEXA]): 1 - 2%
Densitometry (Hydrostatic Weighing): 1.8 - 2.8%
Plethysmography (Bod Pod): 2.2 - 3.7%
Bioelectrical Impedance (Hand & Body): 3 - 4%
Skinfold (Calipers): 3.5 - 5%
