Lecture 15: Energy systems development Flashcards
What are the energy systems?
- PCR - phosphagen creatine system
- Anaerobic glycolysis/ lactic system
- Oxidative
Anaerobic glycolysis intensity and duration
Intensity: moderate-very high
Duration: 30s-3 min
Phosphagen creatine system
Fuel: phosphocreatine
Intensity: extremely high
Duration 0-30 sec
Oxidative system (aerobic)
Fuel: Fat, CHO, lactate
Intensity: low
Duration: >3min
Phosphagen system rate and capacity of ATP production
Fastest and least
Oxidation of carbs rate and capacity of ATP production
Slow and great
Oxidation of fats and proteins rate and capacity of ATP production
Slowest and greatest
Aerobic
Presence of oxygen is required to produce ATP
Anaerobic
No use of oxygen during ATP production
Alactic
Short, maximal intensity, ATP-PC
Lactic
Anaerobic glycolysis
Aerobic capacity
Max rate in which oxygen can be used (VO2max)
Anaerobic power
Maximal amount of power created during a maximal activity
Anaerobic capacity
Ability to maintain anaerobic power “fatigue index”
Lactate threshold 1
First increase in blood lactate above resting levels, associated with the first increases in ventilation
1mmol/L above baseline values (linear inflection point)
Lactate threshold 2
Increase in both VO2 and VCO2, steep, non-linear inflection point in lactate production (4mmol/L)
Onset of blood lactate accumulation
Exercise intensity at 4mmol/L where blood lactate is accumulating quicker than it can be removed
Fatigue index
Comparing power production at the end of a movement with the beginning to observe the fall off
When does fatigue occur?
When ATP demand>ATP supply
What does ESD (energy system development) work to improve?
- Rate of energy production (power)
- Duration of energy production (capacity)
- Efficiency of energy expenditure (specificity)
Central adaptations of aerobic system
Heart and lungs
- Improved heart contractility
- Increased BV
- Increased SV (increased LV mass)
- Decreased RHR
- Increased CO
- Increased aerobic threshold
Peripheral adaptations
Muscle, circulatory system, mitochondria and enzymes
- Increased capillary density
- Increased mitochondria
- Increase hemoglobin capacity
- Increased glycogen storage
- Increased fat metabolism
Acute adaptations of aerobic training
Increased HR
Increased SV
Increased cardiac output
Increased VO2
Chronic adaptations to aerobic training
Decreased resting heart rate
Increased SV
Increased VO2 (5-20%)
