Document Summary

The decrease in muscle mass is a big factor in the decrease of anaerobic power. We aren"t able to provide energy to the body as quickly as well. As we age, our buffering capacity decreases as well. Anaerobic responses in adulthood: anaerobic performance is stable, training if we train, research has shown that we can almost halt these decreases in anaerobic capacities. Training will maintain muscle mass and will keep our systems working to optimal level. Our bueffering capacity wil remain constant as well. Older adulthood: there is a decrease in anaerobic power, there is also loss of muscle mass. Anaerobic training effects research: preadolescent and adolescent boy:- there is no improvement in anaerobic training in preadolescent and adolescent boys. There is small or no improvement in anaerobic capacity. However, training after puberty will result in many changes: prepubescent girls, older adults master athletes: when elders partake in activity, they can maintain their anaerobic capacity and maintain their buffering capacity.
