In chapter 14 it talks about the training for energy fitness. Your body continuously needs energy to power your muscle. Energy basically comes from the food we eat in order to become fuel for our body and this is distributed all over the body in order to create work. It also talks about ATP. Adenosine triphosphate is the only fuel a cell can use to contract muscle, build new tissue and transports minerals and waste throughout the body. This chapter also talks about the anaerobic system. I talks about Glycolysis which is the chemical process of breaking down glycogen to glucose and it also talks about lactic acid. Lactic acids build up and impede the force generated by muscle and impair coordination. It’s a pain, literally causing that burning

Muscular fitness is having enough strengths, endurance, speed, power and flexibly to meet the demands of your sports, and muscular endurance is the ability your muscle can with stand the constant punishment of using your maximum force. What I learn from this chapter is that all muscles are pullers. A good example would be your triceps and biceps. They have to pull whatever you are lifting towards you so you’re basically pulling the weight. What I found important is how much the word flexibly repeats itself. From taking pervious class it is important to stretch and increase your flexibility to help you become better athletes. Flexibility increase range of motion. Sports demand muscular fitness so you need to assess your athletes and incorporated it to your lesson plan. Knowing this will make you program more successful. This chapter also talks about resistance training. Resistance training can be done to develop not only strength but also endurance, power and speed. Resistance training improves muscle endurance by increasing the ability of muscles to work anaerobically and by reducing the number of muscle fibers. You must also know the muscular demands of your sports. Some sports require more demand than others. For competitive sports you use a good amount of muscle. Sports like powerlifting is something that is in high demand for your muscle, and sports like running you don’t really need muscle in order to perform the task. The last few pages of the chapter talks about the different training methods you can use in your lesson plan and testing. Test like the sit and reach test, back scratch test, bench test, and the sit-ups test are just a few out of many test you can use on your athletes to help determine how fit they are. I remember when I was in high school my senior year they would do these test for us. I usually came out as being unhealthy and was consider obese at a body fat percentage of 30, so I
