.
How does
Interval Training
improve
Aerobic Preformance
?
Improves and maximises
Aerobic Power
.
Enhances delivery of
Oxygen
.
Faster
removal
of
Carbon Dioxide
.
Better heart
and
Cardiovascular System
.
What are 3
physiological adaptations
that occur to improve exercise preformance?
How
?
*
Increased Maximal Blood Flow
Increased Oxygen Delivery
Carbon Dioxide removal
*
Exercise forces more blood to left ventricle allowing heart to pump more blood per heart beat and carrying more nutrients and Oxygen to muscles.
What is
Energy
?
Energy
is the ability to do
Work.
What is the
food
source of
Energy
?
The
SUN
is the main source of light which is absorbed as energy by
Plants
and
Vegetables
, which are consumed by
Animals
and
Humans
.
What does
ATP
stand for?
ADENOSINE TRI-PHOSPHATE
What is the Function of
ATP
?
It's a
Molecular Compound of Stored Energy
that is
carried
to the muscles and it is the
Only
source of
Energy
for Muscular Exercise.
How many
Energy
Pathways
are there?
What kind are they?
There are
3
Energy
Pathways
.
2
are
Anaerobic
1
is
Aerobic
What are the
2
Anaerobic
Pathways
?
1.
ATP-CP
*
system /
Phosphagen
system.
(
Adenosine Tri-Phosphate-Creatine Phospate
)*
2.

What is the
Fuel source
of the
Lactic Acid
system. (
aka Anaerobic Glycolysis)
?
Carbohydrate
is the
Only
fuel source
for it which means
Glucose from the blood
or
stored Glucose
.
What is the
Intensity
of the
Lactic Acid
system?
It has a
High to Moderate
Intensity.
What is the
Duration
of the
Lactic Acid
system?
It can last anywhere from
45 to 90 seconds
.
List examples of
activities
that use the
Lactic Acid
system:
Swimming (100 to 200 meters)
Basket Ball
