also during increases in intensity during longer events

29
Q

Anaerobic glycolysis system

A

31
Q

Anaerobic glycolysis ES HR?

A

85-95% HRM

32
Q

Chemical Pathway of Anaerobic Glycolysis system breaking down glycogen

A
  • incomplete breakdown (will NOT deplete glycogen stores)
33
Q

Anaerobic glycolysis training method

A

intermediate interval

34
Q

Anaerobic glycolysis training benefits 3 points

A
  • develop ability to resynthesis ATP more quickly
  • able to achieve higher int.
  • develop ability to buffer accumulation of lactate and H ions
    *** lactate can be resynthesized into glycogen.
35
Q

anaerobic glycolysis work:rest ratio

A

1:3

36
Q

Anaerobic glycolysis system fatigue mechanism

A

accumulation of H ions (metabolic by-products)

37
Q

38
Q

Anaerobic Glycolysis recovery

A

39
Q

What is involved in an active recovery? (HR)

A

35-55% HRM
5-10 mins+ of same movement

40
Q

Why is active recovery good for anaerobic glycolysis system?

A
  • maintain elevated HR
  • allow skeletal muscles pump to be activated
  • prevent venous pooling, assist venous return
  • remove H+ more quickly
  • allow athlete to return to pre-exercise state faster
41
Q

Why does the anaerobic glycolysis system have a finite capacity?

A
42
Q

Aerobic Energy System

A
  • rebuilds ATP at slower rate
  • oxygen
  • max int. can’t be reached -> submaximal
  • key role in recovery after high int. efforts
43
Q

Aerobic ES yield

A

Increased, yield = 36-38

44
Q

Aerobic ES fuels

A

interplay of glycogen, triglycerides & protein
*** protein only used after 4 + hours of activity, no refuel

45
Q

- faster rate of ATP resynthesise
- increase int. aerobically

A
  • balance between lactate entry and removal from blood
  • max intensity at which blood lactate is in steady state
  • distinguishes difference between elite middle and distance athlete better than VO2 MAX
57
Q

PRIOR to LIP

A

lactate removal exceeds lactate entry

58
Q

BEYOND the LIP

A

lactate entry exceeds lactate removal
- blood lactic acid & H+ increase
- fatigue occurs

59
Q

What does the LIP predict?

A

the speed/power and individual is able to sustain

60
Q

Opening statement of interplay question:

A

All three energy systems contribute towards the total energy demand in the _______ however depending on the duration & intensity the contribution of each energy system will vary ______

61
Q

Part 2 of interplay question:

A

activity = continuous or intermittent
if its continuous need to acknowledge that there is an O2 deficit and the two anaerobic systems have a high contribution until steady state reached

62
Q

Part 3 of interplay

A

ATP-PC system has high contribution
- examples
- links to finite capacity & PC depletion,RATE
- recovery duration i.e. insufficient recovery

63
Q

Part 4 of interplay

A

Anaerobic glycolysis has high contribution
- PC depletion
- repeated high intensity efforts

64
Q

Part 5 of interplay

A
  • recovery periods ***PC will be rebuilt during passive recoveries enable more use of ATP-PC system
  • submaximal intensity when demand for ATP is low
65
Q

Part 6 of interplay

A

-overall energy systems contribution is aerobic system * DURATION

66
Q

steady state (def)

A

oxygen supply meets oxygen demands
HR remains constant
ATP produced aerobically

67
Q

What occurs during oxygen deficit (ES)

A

increased contribution from anaerobic systems as because the aerobic system takes time to increase its oxygen supply, the anaerobic systems would contribute to ATP until it can be produced aerobically.
