Cards

Term
ATP-PCr system
Definition

used during short duration and high intensity activites

 

quantity of intramuscular phosphagens substantially influences energy for brief durations

 

creatine kinase regulates the rate of phosphagen breakdown

Term
lactate
Definition
 lactic acid formed from fast glycolysis is immediately changed to this
Term
lactate threshold
Definition
represents the point where blood lactate accumulates faster than it can be removed and/or utilized for fuel; can be used as a predictor of performance
Term
Fast-twitch or Type II muscle fibers
Definition

possess rapid contraction speed and high capacity for glycolytic anaerobic ATP production

 

used during change-of-pace and stop-and-go activities, increased force output, or during all-out effort requiring rapid, powerful movements

Term
slow-twitch or type I muscle fibers
Definition

generates energy primarily aerobically

 

possesses relatively slow contraction speeds

 

used during continuous activities

Term
oxygen debt
Definition
recovery oxygen uptake or excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) now defines the excess oxygen uptake above the resting level in recovery, which refers to the total oxygen consumed after exercise in excess of pre-exercise baseline level
Term
factors affecting EPOC
Definition

resynthesis of ATP and PCr

 

resynthesis of blood lactate to glycogen

 

oxidation of blood lactae in energy metabolism

 

restoration of oxygen to blood, tissue fluids, and myoglobin

 

thermogenic effects of elevated core temperature

 

thermogenic effects of hormones, particularly the catecholamines epinephrime and norephinephrine

 

increased pulmonary and ciculatory dynamics nad other elevated levels of physiologic function

Term
EPOC fast component
Definition
in low-intensity, primarily aerobic exercise, about half of the total EPOC occurs place within 30 seconds; complete recovery requires several minutes
Term
EPOC slow component
Definition
a second, slower phase occurs in recovery from more strenuous exercise that, depending on exercise intensity and duration, may require 24 hours or more before re-establishing the pre-exercise oxygen uptake
Term
3 phases of linear sprinting
Definition

acceleration

attainment

maintenance

 

Term
assisted running
Definition
will permit an athlete to run faster than his or her natural pace and is typically prescribed to help increase stride frequency
Term
resistance running
Definition
often prescribed to increase force production and stride length during unresisted sprinting
Term
speed
Definition

change in distance over time

 

critical component to anaerobic sport performance

Term
acceleration
Definition

rate of change of velocity over time

 

athlete's ability to reach high velocities in a short period of time

 

explosive acceleration is major advantage in many sports

Term
reaction time
Definition
athlete's ability to react to a stimulus
Term
speed endurance
Definition
ability to maintain maximal speed over several repetitions
Term
phases of linear sprint
Definition

1. acceleration

2. maximum speed maintenance

3. speed endurance or deceleration

Term
sprint speed
Definition
sprint speed= stride length x frequency
Term
stride length
Definition

length of each stride during sprinting

 

from toe-off to foot strike on same side

 

determined by: leg length, leg strength & power (flight time), sprinting mechanics

 

improved by increasing ability to develop explosive forces applied to group

Term
stride rate
Definition
number of foot contacts per period of time
Term
anaerobic training
Definition
all-out exercise for up to 60
Term
interval training
Definition
specific spacing of high intensity exercise and rest periods
