how fat is stored in the body

Triglycerides

system: energy pathway that consists of ATP and PC, provides immediate energy

Creatine phosphate + creatine phosphate system

phosphogen system: a system of transfer of chemical energy from the breakdown of creatine phosphate to regenerate ATP


GAS: energy pathway that uses glycogen to produce power, but not as quickly as creatine phosphate system


Aerobic: energy pathway that uses oxygen, fats, carbs, and sometimes proteins for resynthesizing ATP

THREE ENERGY PATHWAYS


Phosphagen system


Glycolytic anaerobic system


Aerobic system

2 hours prior: 17-20 oz


10-20 min during exercise: 7-10 oz


After exercise: 16-24 oz for every lb of body weight lost

fluid intake recommendations during exercise

Zone 1: low to moderate intensity exercise, the exerciser can talk comfortably


Zone 2: moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise during which talking is a little challenging but still possible


Zone 3: very vigorous exercise, exerciser cannot talk comfortably

Domains of learning




When teaching a motor skill, learning takes place in these three levels of human behavior

Cognitive: movements are new to participant, errors are made




Associative: improvements in basic fundamental of the skill, can concentrate on cues now and improve performance




Autonomous: motor skill becomes automatic or habitual

Fitts and Posner: Stages of learning for motor skills
