what parameters increase with detraining?
HR and initally a-VO2 max
what parameters decrease with detraining?
CO, SV, and VO2 diff max
what is the initial parameter that changes with detraining, causing others to change?
plasma volume, causing BV and BP to drop
what explains the decrease in a-VO2 diff max
a decrease in mitochondrial enzyme levels
muscle capillarization and detraining
no change
effects of over-prescribing exercise
excessive deleterious effects, lose motivation, overtraining (fatigue, appetite, illness), and risk of injury
goal of training
is to stimulate structural and functional adaptation to improve functional capacity
major goals of aerobic training
develop functional capacity of the central circulation and enhance aerobic capacity of the specific muscles
factors influencing capacity of aerobic training
initial fitness level, training frequency, duration, and intensity, expected improvement range, and perspective on gains
initial fitness level differences
those who start with low fitness levels will see the biggest improvements
what is the expected improvement range with endurance training
ranges from 5-25% (5% for athletes, up to 25% for sedentary people)
overload principle
the exposure of tissues to greater stress results in continued changes, must be just above the level you are used to
what factors can increase overload?
can be done by manipulating combinations of frequency, duration, and intensity
specificity training principle
improvements in fitness levels depend on the type of exercise (strength, power, endurance, flexibility) and the muscle mass activated
SAIDs acronym meaning
specific adaptations to imposed demands
SAIDs meaning
train the system for the type of activity you hope to improve because specific training elicits specific training adaptations for that exercise
example of specificity principle
training swimming improves quality of swimming, not running
individual differences principle
the modification of training must account for an individual’s unique capacity and response to training; reflects why programs should be individualized
reversibility of detraining
if you remove the training stimulus, performance will decline back towards pre-training
how many weeks of detraining reduces metabolic and exercise capacity?
1-2 weeks
ACSM meaning
american college of sports medicine
ACSM changes
used to focus more on medical clearance, now is focused more on the judgement of the HP
ACSM screening approach
classify current physical activity needs, identify known cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal conditions, and desired exercise intensity
algorithm for screening
Q1, do you participate in regular exercise; Q2, establish disease status and asses signs and symptoms; Q3, what is the desired exercise intensity?
