As the duration of an aerobic endurance event increases?
the proportion of the total energy that must be supplied by aerobic metabolism.
There is a high correlation between VO_max and _____
performance in aerobic endurance events.
In aerobic endurance events, the best competitor among athletes with similar VO_max values is
highest percentage of his or her VO,max without accumulating large amounts of lactic acid in the muscle and blood.
A measure of the energy cost of activity at a given exercise velocity
Exercise Economy
An improvement in exercise economy can enhance 2
maximal aerobic power (VO,max) and lactate threshold.
the specific activity performed by the athlete: cycling, running, swimming, and so on.
Exercise mode
number of training sessions conducted per day or per week.
Training frequency
The frequency of training sessions will depend on 4 factors?
exercise intensity
duration
training status of the athlete
specific sport season
Adaptations in the body are specific to the ______ of the training session.
Intensity
High-intensity aerobic exercise increases
cardio-vascular
respiratory function
improved oxygen delivery to Working muscle
Increasing exercise intensity may also benefit skeletal muscle adaptations by
affecting muscle fiber recruitment.
The most frequently used method for prescribing aerobic exercise intensity Is?
Heart Rate
Karvonen Method
Age-predicted maximum heart rate (APMHR) =220 - age
Heart rate reserve (HRR) =
APHR- resting heart rate (RHR)
(APMHR) =
220 - age
Target heart rate (THR) =
(HRR x exercise intensity) + RHR
Do this calculation twice to determine the?
target heart rate range (THRR).
Another way to calculate Target heart rate (THR)
(APMHR ×exercise intensity)
Can be used to regulate intensity of aerobic endurance training across changes in fitness level
Ratings of Perceived Exertion
Ratings of Perceived Exertion
Typically uses the 15-point Borg scale

Metabolic Equivalents One MET is equal to
to 3.5 ml • kg-1 • min-' Of oxygen consumption for body at rest
Metabolic rate is closely related to
mechanical power production.
the length of time of the training session.
Exercise Duration
The duration of a training session is often influenced by
the exercise intensity:
the longer the exercise duration,
the lower the exercise intensity.
Progression of an aerobic endurance program involves increasing the 3 factors
frequency
intensity
duration
Frequency, intensity, or duration should not increase by more than
10% each week.

Two types of Endurance Training Programs: LSD
Long, Slow Distance Training
Long Distance Training Ex
Training is longer than race distance (or 30 minutes to 2 hours) at 65% of VO,max.
Adaptations from Long Distance Training include the following:
Enhances the body's ability to clear lactate
Chronic use of this type of training causes an eventual shift of Type lIx fibers to Type I fibers
Slow Distance Training
Intensity is lower than that of competition, which may be a disadvantage if too much LSD training is used
Intensity at or slightly above competition intensity, corresponding to the lactate threshold
Pace/Tempo Training
20 to 30 minutes of continuous training at the lactate threshold
Steady pace/tempo training:
series of shorter intervals with brief recovery periods
Intermittent pace/tempo training:
Pace/Tempo Training Objectives
Develop a sense of race pace and enhance the body's ability to sustain exercise at that pace
Improve running economy and increase lactate threshold
Exercise at an intensity close to VO,max for intervals of 3 to 5 minutes.
Work:rest ratio should be 1:1.
Interval Training
Interval Training Benefits
This allows athletes to train at intensities close to VO_max for a greater amount of time.
It increases VO_max and enhances anaerobic metabolism.
What is the catch about Interval Training?
Method should be used sparingly, and only when training athletes with a firm aerobic endurance training base.
Conducted at intensities greater than
VO,max, with work intervals lasting 30-
90 seconds
Repetition Training
Repetition Training Work:rest ratio?
Work:rest ratio is about 1:5
Long recovery periods needed between sessions
Benefits Of Repetition Training
Improved running speed and economy
Increased capacity and tolerance for anaerobic metabolism
Combines other methods of training
Easy running (~70% VO,max)
combined with hills or short, fast bursts (~85-90% VO,max)
Fartlek Training
Fartlek Training Benefits
Enhanced VO,max
Increased lactate threshold
Improved running economy and fuel utilization
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
Uses repeated high-intensity bouts interspersed with brief recovery periods.
Athletes need to spend several minutes above 90% of VOmax for an optimal stimulus.
is a mode of training that can be used to maintain general conditioning in athletes during periods of reduced training due to injury or during recovery from a training cycle.
Cross-training
the systematic reduction of training duration and intensity combined with an increased emphasis on technique work and nutritional intervention.
Tapering
occurs when the athlete reduces the training duration or intensity or stops training altogether due to a break in the training program, injury, or illness.
Detraining
Resistance Training Benefits may include
Improvement in short-term exercise performance
Faster recovery from injuries
Prevention of overuse injuries and reduction of muscle imbalances
It can improve hill climbing, bridging gaps between competitors during breakaways, and the final sprint.
Altitude Is The height above sea level ranging from
>500 m to >5,500 m
Acclimatization for altitude may occur between
12 and 14 days at moderate altitudes up to 2,300 m, but can take up to several months.
In order to see an ergogenic effect, athletes need a
hypoxic dose ≥12 hours/day for a minimum of three weeks at moderate altitude.
Begin with long duration and low intensity.
Gradually increase intensity and, to a lesser extent, duration.
Off-Season (Base Training)
Focus on increasing intensity, maintaining or reducing duration, and incorporating all types of training.
Preseason
Program should be designed around competition, with low-intensity and short-duration training just before race days.
In-Season (Competition)
Focus on recovering from the competitive season while maintaining sufficient fitness.
Postseason (Active Rest)
