Document Summary
Overload- exercise at a level beyond what the body is accustomed to. Specificity- training effect is specific to muscles involved, energy systems involved (aerobic vs. anaerobic), type of contraction (isotonic vs isometric; eccentric vs. concentric), and velocity of contraction. Reversibility- gains are lost when overload is removed. Review the expected changes in vo2 max and the influence of genetics. About 50% of initial vo2 max is determined by genetics and ability to response to training is also about. The three components are aerobic, resistant, and flexibility. 95% of the population, all 3 are recommended. Describe the 3 different types of training to improve aerobic power: accumulate more mileage at lower intensity (low, slow distance, interval training/hiit- high intensity work periods separated by recovery periods, high intensity, continuous exercise. Intensity: low to moderate intensity exercise: 50-65% of vo2 max or 60-70% hr max. As long as you"re getting miles in, intensity doesn"t matter; training well below lt.
