Path of Least Resistance
So Meta, Bro
VO2 Maxing
...In theory
100

This principle of resistance training states that training  must occur at higher intensities than one is accustomed to.

What is progressive overload?

100

During a 1 Rep Max bench press (< 10 seconds), this energy system is on. 

What is ALL of them????

100

This practice involves measuring the amount of O2 and CO2 exchanged at the lungs 

What is Indirect Calorimetry?

100

This pathway would be the predominant energy source during 2 reps at 90% of 1RM

What is the creatine phosphate (PCr) pathway?

200

This principle of resistance training is the reason why a sprinter's performance would not benefit from only exercising upper body. 

What is specificity?

200

This product of glycolysis can be used anaerobically or aerobically

What is pyruvate?

200

This is the energy required at the onset of exercise that cannot be supplied by aerobic metabolism 

What is oxygen deficit?

200

This is the predominant energy system you would use to walk from the entrance of Dale Hall, up the stairs, and to the classroom (about 45secs to 1min)

What is glycolysis?

300

Increases in cross-sectional area (CSA) from resistance training occur after this amount of time.

What is 8 weeks?

300

This enzyme attaches a Pi to ADP in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) to form ATP

What is ATP synthase?

300

An RER of 0.72 would indicate that an athlete is predominantly using this energy source for energy

What is fat?

300

This is the most likely reason your physically inactive friend saw considerable strength gains after 2 weeks of resistance training 

What are neural adaptations?

400

IGF-1 can be released from the liver or the muscle, but mechano-growth factor (MGF) is only released from this location.

What is the muscle?

400

During high intensity exercise more H+ is produced, limiting the activity of this enzyme

What is Phosphofructokinase (PFK)?

400

VO2 Max is the single best indictor of this

What is aerobic fitness?

400
At the beginning of a marathon (up to an hour), your body would primarily rely on the utilization of this substrate for energy.

What are carbohydrates?

500

Loading and stretching of the muscle activate IGF-1, and GH, which in turn stimulate muscle growth through this pathway

What is mTOR?

500

This molecule stimulates activity in almost all of the rate-limiting enzymes

What is ADP?

500

These two factors are responsible for oxygen deficit.

What are 1) lag in oxygen delivery and 2) lag in activation of oxidative enzymes?

500

Criteria for reaching VO2 Max includes reaching an RPE (19-20), 90-95% Predicted HR Max, 90% of Predicted VO2, RER > 1.1, and these two things

What are VO2 plateau and 8mmol (mM) of blood lactate?
