Q

Why didn’t Lance Armstrong win his first marathon?

A

Exercise specific economy
Cyclists don’t easily convert to runners

28
Q

Lactate threshold and perfromance

A

Want to shift the curve to the right to prolong fatigue at maximal VO2

29
Q

Good exercise economy

A

Postures and techniques that come with running
By increasing maximal output, operational output becomes more efficient (everything at sub-maximal levels)

32
Q

Maintaining aerobic adaptations

A

Fewer training sessions needed to maintain aerobic adaptations than are required to achieve them

33
Q

Recovery for aerobic exercise

A

Imp for endurance sports as the development is purely physiological

34
Q

Imp factors for recovery from aerobic training

A

Rehydration
Restoration of fuel
CHO intake
Sleep
Muscle recovery

Q

Ways to quantify training intensity

A
  1. Blood lactate
  2. HR
  3. VO2

36
Q

HRR

A

Heart rate reserve
Directly correlated to VO2

37
Q

Karvonen method of calculating target heart rate

A

[(220-age)-RHR] Training intensity + RHR
