VO2max
The greatest amount of oxygen that can be used at the cellular level for the entire body.
Maximal cardiac output
The maximum amount of blood the heart can pump per minute.
Oxygen transport
The process of carrying oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and returning carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.
Lactate threshold
The exercise intensity at which lactate starts to accumulate in the blood.
Movement economy
The energy demand for a given velocity of submaximal exercise.
Aerobic enzyme activity
The activity of enzymes that facilitate aerobic energy production.
Heart rate (HR)
The number of times the heart beats per minute.
Stroke volume (SV)
The quantity of blood ejected by the heart with each beat.
Peak rate of force development
The maximum rate at which an individual can generate force.
Endurance performance
The ability of an individual to sustain exercise over a prolonged period.
Active Rest
Low intensity exercise requiring a heart rate below 65% of maximum for recovery.
Long Slow Distance (LSD) training
Training involving high mileage at moderate to low intensities.
Anaerobic intervals
Short work duration intervals performed at supramaximal intensity.
Interval Training
Training involving repeated bouts of exercise with rest or low-intensity periods.
Acute Responses to Aerobic Exercise
Immediate cardiovascular changes that occur from rest to exercise.
Chronic Adaptations to Aerobic Exercise
Long-term physiological changes due to regular aerobic training.
Resistance Training
A method of developing strength and endurance through weight lifting.
Pyramidal Model of Training
A training model emphasizing high volume in low-intensity zones.
Threshold Model
A training approach focusing on maintaining training volume above 20% at higher intensity.
Intensity Zones
Different levels of training intensity tailored to enhance specific physiological traits.
