Genetics
Define Gene
Segments of DNA that contain specific proteins
When adaptation becomes more difficult as you reach your genetic potential, this is know as...
diminished return
Define VO2 max
your body's maximal cardiorespiratory capability
On which type of muscle fiber are ACTN3 genes present?
Type 2
When a person goes past their body's ability to recover from intense exercise and either a plateau or decline in performance is seen; what term can be used?
overload
What happens to O2 extraction and cardiac output as VO2 max increases?
O2 extraction and cardiac output also increase
The majority of the general public is deficient in what gene?
ACTN 3 gene
According to deliberate practice, how many hours of training is required to master a skill?
10,000 hours
Which structure in the respiratory system is responsible for gas exchange with the capillaries?
alveoli
What is an example of genetic determinism?
- Vo2 max
- muscle strength
What are some of the effects that children can experience if they start training at a young age?
-burn out
-injury
-not being well-rounded
What is the term for the relationship between VO2 max and running speed where someone may be able to consume less oxygen and maintain higher intensities for a longer period of time?
Running Economy
What is the primary energy pathway that is used for anaerobic sports; such as gymnastics?
glycolysis
20 weeks
Why is a problem with performing a decremental or "reverse protocol" exercise test?
- Participant may terminate the test before they reach their max cardiorespiratory capacity
- decreasing exercise intensity as the test progresses may produce higher VO2 max measurements than other protocol methods.
