|
Aerobic Training
|
Training that improves the efficiency of the aerobic energy-producing systems and can improve cardiorespiratory endurance
|
|
|
Anaerobic Training
|
Training that improves the efficiency of the anaerobic energy-producing systems and can increase muscular strength and tolerance for acid-base imbalances during high-intensity effort
|
|
|
Athlete's Heart
|
A non-pathological enlarged heart, often found in endurance athletes, that results primarily from left ventricular hypertrophy in response to training
|
|
|
Capillary-to-fiber ratio
|
The number of capillaries formed per muscle fiber
|
|
|
Cardiac Hypertrophy
|
Enlargement of the heart by increases in muscle wall thickness or chamber size or both
|
|
|
Cardiorespiratory Endurance
|
The ability of the body to sustain prolonged exercise
|
|
|
Cross-Training
|
Training for more than one sport at the same time, or training multiple fitness components (such as endurance, strength, and flexibility) within the same period
|
|
|
Frick Equation
|
VO2= Q x (a-v) O2 difference
|
|
|
Glycogen sparing
|
Increased reliance on fats for energy production during endurance activity, rather than stores of glycogen
|
|
|
High Responders
|
Those individuals within a population that shoe clear or exaggerated responses or adaptations to a stimulus
|
|
|
Low Responders
|
Those individuals within a population that show little or no response or adaptation to a stimulus
|
|
|
VO2 max:(maximal oxygen uptake)
|
The maximal capacity for oxygen consumption by the body during maximal exertion.
Also know as: -aerobic power -maximal oxygen uptake -cardiorespiratory endurance capacity |
|
|
Mitochondrial Oxidative Enzymes
|
Oxidative enzymes located in the mitochondria
|
|
|
Muscular Endurance
|
The ability of a muscle to resist fatigue
|
|
|
Myoglobin
|
A compound similar to hemoglobin, but found in muscle tissue, that carries oxygen from the cell membrane to the mitochondria
|
|
|
Oxygen Transport System
|
The components of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems involved in transporting oxygen
|
|
|
Respiratory Exchange Rate-(RER)
|
The ratio of carbon dioxide expired to oxygen consumed at the level of the lungs
|
|
|
Specificity of Training
|
The priniciple that physiological adaptations on response to physical training are highly specific to the nature of the training activity. To maximize benefits, training should be carefully matched to an athlete's specific performance needs
|
|
|
Submaximal Endurance Capacity
|
The average absolute power output a person can maintain during a fixed period of time on a cycle ergometer, or the average speed or velocity a person can maintain during a fixed period of time. Generally, these tests will last at least 30 min but usually not more than 90 min
