Dot Point 1
The energy system that relies on the anaerobic glycolysis process
lactic acid system
Another term for Fartlek Training
Speed play
An individual must engage in a training program that trains directly their goals and/or sport-like fitness needs.
Specificity
What is cardiac output? How is it calculated?
CO: is how hard the heart works
CO= SV x HR
What does PNF stand for? Spell it.
Proprioreceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
Cause of fatigue for the aerobic system.
Depletion of fuel stores.
Fatigue of the body.
A decline in performance intensity.
Disadvantage of anaerobic interval training
overtraining
Which training principle is likely to be considered if an individual is experiencing a plateau in their gains?
Progressive Overload
What impact does endurance training have on oxygen uptake?
Endurance training increased the oxygen uptake by 15-20%
What is the rate of recovery of the ATP-PC system
Within 2 minutes for complete restore
By-products of the ATP - PC (alactacid system)
No by product or heat.
The four different types of training
Aerobic
Anaerobic
Flexibility
Strength Training
Describe the training principle of Training thresholds
The level of stress required to be applied to the body in order to cause an adaptation or improvement in performance.
Why does a trained athlete have a lower resting HR than an untrained athlete?
Greater efficiency in the body tissues (heart and vessels) to pump a larger amount of blood per beat (stroke volume)
How does lactic acid affect performance.
Prevent muscle fibres from contracting and therefore decrease the level of performance
Where is the energy from ATP stored?
In the bonds
Explain the purpose of hydraulic (machine) weights.
Allow for uniform muscle contraction through the whole range of motion.
How might variety be applied to a strength training program?
- Types of weight equipment used
- Variation in the part of the body trained or type of muscle contraction (isotonic, isometric and isokinetic).
What is the result of haemoglobin levels and training
Haemoglobin levels increase as a result of training and this increases oxygen-carrying capacity.
Concentration is less in proportion to other blood components (plasma).
List all the physiological adaptations in response to training
resting heart rate
stroke volume and cardiac output
oxygen uptake lung capacity
haemoglobin level
muscle hypertrophy
effect on fast/slow twitch muscle fibres
An athlete ran in the 100-metre final at an Olympic Games.
Select the energy system used based on all syllabus points
Energy system: ATP - PC.
Source of fuel - Creatine Phosphate.
Efficiency of ATP production production - Very fast rate of production, low availability.
Duration that the system can operate - 10-15 seconds.
Cause of fatigue - Lack of fuel/ inability to resynthesise in enough time.
By-products of energy production none/ heat as energy.
Which type of training would be most suitable for an AFL midfielder player? Which training methods would be best?
Aerobic (continuous) and Strength Training (free weights)
What factors might influence reversibility?
Interest and engagement in the program
injury of athlete/ participant
Distinguish the difference between fast and slow twitch muscle fibres
ST red muscle fibres contract slowly and for long periods of time
FT white muscle fibres reach peak tension quickly and are recruited for power and explosive movements.
