aerobic endurance

Question 1

maximal aerobic capacity

Answer 1

VO2 max

Question 2

there is a high correlation between VO2 max and

Answer 2

aerobic performance

Question 3

lactate threshold

Answer 3

the speed of movement or percentage of VO2 max at which a specific blood lactate concentration is observed or the pt at which lactate levels increase

Question 4

exercise economy

Answer 4

measure of the energy cost of activity at a given exercise velocity

Question 5

exercise mode

Answer 5

specific activity performed by the athlete

Question 6

training frequency

Answer 6

number of training sessions conducted per day/weel

Question 7

adaptations in the body are specific to the

Answer 7

intensity of training sessions

Question 8

ratings of perceived exertion scales can be used to regulate

Answer 8

intensity of aerobic endurance training across changes in fitness level

Question 9

most frequently used method for prescribing aerobic exercise intensity

Answer 9

heart rate

Question 10

exercise duration

Answer 10

length of time of training session

Question 11

progression of an aerobic endurance program involves

Answer 11

increasing frequency, intensity, duration

Question 12

how much should frequency, intensity or duration be increased each week

Answer 12

<10%

Question 13

long, slow distance training (base training)

Answer 13

training distance greater than race distance (30min to 2hr)

Question 14

adaptations to base training

Answer 14

enhances the body’s ability to clear lactate
causes an eventual shift of type IIx to type I fivers

Question 15

pace/tempo training

Answer 15

intensity at or slightly above competition intensity, corresponding to the lactate threshold

Question 16

steady pace/tempo training

Answer 16

20-30 min of continuous training at lactate threshold

Question 17

intermittent pace/tempo training

Answer 17

series of shorter intervals with brief recovery periods

Question 18

objectives of pace/tempo training

Answer 18

develop a sense of race pace and enhance the body’s ability to sustain exercise at that pace
improve running economy and lactate threshold

Question 19

interval training

Answer 19

exercise at an intensity close to VO2 max for intervals of 3-5 mins
