Altitude
The percent of oxygen in the air we breath
What is 20.93%
Maximal force that a muscle can generate
Strength
The shortening of a muscle.
Concentric
The mechanism responsible for ~ 80% of heat loss
What is Evaporation?
A measure of an individual's maximum capacity to transport and utilize oxygen during intense exercise.
What is VO2max? or maximal oxygen consumption
As elevation increases, aerobic capacity ___________
Decreases
Power
A typical HIIT workout consists of 4 to 6 bouts of _______ seconds of all-out cycling followed by ____ minutes of recovery.
30,3
Heat transfer by movement of gas or liquid across a surface
What is Convection (C)
2 of the 8 major cardiovascular changes in response to aerobic training.
Heart size, SV, HR, Q, Blood flow, Blood volume, red cell volume, BP
The part of whole blood that will increase in production after weeks/months at altitude
Red Blood Cells
The two most commonly changed variables to achieve peak level of fitness
What are training volume and intensity
A hormone that contributes to muscle growth
What is Growth hormone or testosterone or IGF-1
When exercising in the COLD, this, is affected by body composition.
Mostly responsible for a considerable increase in Max Q.
What is SV?
Types of exercise unaffected by altitude
Anaerobic (ex: 100m to 400m)
The stretch-shortening cycle is more commonly referred to as, this.
What is plyometrics?
A neural mechanism that can lead to an increase in strength
What is recruitment, frequency (rate coding), synchronization or autogenic inhibition
What is convection ?
An adaptation that occurs in the muscle from aerobic training
Fiber type, capillary increase, Myoglobin, Mitochondrial function, or enzymes.
The training/living method that results in improved performance
Living in a high altitude and training in low altitude
Rate of energy release by oxygen-dependent metabolic processes
What is Aerobic Power
Muscle adaptability or muscle flexibility, refers to the ability of muscles to change in response to various stimuli and demands.
What is Muscle Plasticity
Body’s thermostat is located in the brain.
Preoptic anterior hypothalamus (POAH)
A time-efficient way to induce many adaptations normally associated with endurance training
HIIT
