Chronic Adaptations - Anaerobic

Question 1

Cardiovascular

Answer 1

•thickness of left ventricle wall

Question 2

Muscular adaptations

Answer 2

+ fuel stores
+ levels of ATPase
+ levels of glycotic enzymes
+ tolerance of metabolic byproducts

Question 3

Muscular resistance adaptations

Answer 3

+ motor unit recruitment
+rate of motor unit ‘firing’
+ motor unit recruitment
+ hypo trophy of muscles

Question 4

(Muscular adaptations) How does increased levels of ATPase help improve performance?

Answer 4

ATPase is the enzyme that assists in the breakdown of ATP to ADP. Anaerobic training allows for increased number of ATPase and more efficient breakdown

Question 5

(Muscular adaptations) How does increased levels of glycotic enzymes assist performance?

Answer 5

Glycogen is able to be broken down quicker and used more efficiently to produce ATP

Question 6

(Resistance training)

The 3 motor unit anaerobic training benefits

Answer 6

+ motor unit recruitment
+ rate of motor unit ‘firing’
+ motor unit coordination

Question 7

(Muscular adaptations) How does increased levels of Fuel stores benefit performance?

Answer 7

Anaerobic training increases the amount of ATP, PC and glycogen that can be stored in the muscles and therefore can be used as fuel to produce ATP anaerobically.
