Term
| maximal oxygen consumption |
|
Definition
| maximum rate at which an individual can consume oxygen |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| percentage of maximal oxygen consumption at which blood lactate increases above resting |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
designed to increase an athlete's endurance base, maximal oxygen consumption, and tissue respiration capacity
also known as: long, slow distance (LSD) training, overdistance training, and aerobic threshold training |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| runner alternates between fast, intense running and slower recovery jogs, often allowing the terrain to dictate the intensity |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
allows for greater quantity of normally exhaustive exercise to be performed
benefits include: teaches race pace, can improve anaerobic metabolism, can enhance maxiaml oxygen cosumption |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| generally of high intensity, 90% of maximal oxygen consumption and above, with complete recovery between repetitions |
|
|
Term
| general preparation phase |
|
Definition
| athlete should be developing his/her fitness base, focus on continous training |
|
|
Term
| special preparation phase |
|
Definition
| will continue increasing volume, more specialized work will begin to be integrated into the training |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| used to correct deficiencies |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| designed to make sure the athlete is at their best during the important competitions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| VO2 max = maximal cardiac output (HRxSV) x maximal a-VO2 |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
heart rate x stroke volume
= the amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 minute |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| as exercise is prolonged or when exercise is performed in a hot environment, a gradual increase in heart rate and a decrease in stroke volume may occur due to losses of blood plasma through excessive sweating (dehydration), even when exercise intensity is maintained |
