Vocab
The process which brings oxygen from the air, across the alveolar membrane, and into the blood to be carried by hemoglobin.
Pulmonary ventilation
A type of training that maintains a slower speed so the individual can cover longer distances.
Long-slow distance
The amount of blood the heart pumps per minute.
Cardiac output
The pace in time or % maximum heart rate that an individual will use for competitive racing.
Race pace
The amount of blood pumped with each contraction of the ventricles.
Stroke volume
The intensity of training an individual will use based upon their actual or estimated heart rate maximum.
Percent of maximum heart rate pace
The point during high intensity activity when the body can no longer meet its demand for oxygen and anaerobic metabolism predominates; also called lactate threshold.
Anaerobic threshold
Training at or above 90% VO2 peak for bouts lasting for seconds to minutes.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
A formula used to estimate an individual’s maximal heart rate to assist in metabolic energy system training programming.
Regression formula
BONUS: the oxidation of organic or inorganic substrates for ATP synthesis by oxidative phosphorylation using exogenously derived terminal (or alternate) electron acceptors other than oxygen.
Anaerobic respiration
