Term
How can interval training improve aerobic performance?
Definition
Used to maximize aerobic power. When done at higher intensity, to increase aerobic endurance and anaerobic power.
Term
List three physiological adaptations that  occur to improve exercise performance?
Definition

Increased maximal blood flow

Increased O2 delivery and CO2 removal

Increased maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power

Term
How or why does improvement occur when increased maximal blood flow takes place?
Definition
Aerobic exercize forces the left ventricle to pump more blood, causing it to enlarge. This increase in stroke volume (blood pumped out of heart) helps reduce maximal heart rate.
Term
How or why does improvement occur when using increased O2 delivery and CO2 removal as an adaptation to improve exercise performance?
Definition

 

Maximal breating rates are 45-55 breaths/minute for athletes allowing more O2 to enter the lungs and more CO2 to be removed.  The cardiorespiratory system saturates the blood with O2 in less than 1 second.

 

Term
How does maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power improve exercise performance as a physiological adaptation?
Definition

*Regular aerobic exercise causes an increase in the number of capillaries per muscle fiber.

*highly trained endurance athletes could have up to 30% more capillaries.

*Regular, continuous aerobic training can increase carbs/fats storage in the skeletal muscle, which increases total capacity of the system.

 

*aeroboic power increases through mitochodrial volume and activity, which mean increase in key enzymes associated with aerobic metabolism. superior maximal O2 uptake in athletes
