Document Summary

Interval training 2: lecture 2: note, 1:1 (aerobic training, 1:2 & 1:3 (recovery & intermediate training) Energy is primarily derived from the breakdown of stored phosphagens: Short sprints with long rest periods may increase. Increased activity of key enzymes have been shown (increase above enzymes); which may impact on indirect measures of sprint performance. Metabolic changes: sprinting incorporates many energy systems, so many adaptations can occur such as, elevated enzyme activities, elevated muscle glycogen content, enhanced buffering capacity, none of these adaptations are related to changes in direct measures of performance. Increased mitochondrial biogenesis (increase mitochondrial no. /size) increases aerobic capacity and causes shifts in fuel utilization during exercise (including lipolytic rates: )nterval training increases the body"s ability to utilize fats/lipids. Interval training is not better than endurance training, but similar peripheral adaptations can be achieved for drastically less time & work commitment.
