What is Training?
Chronic physiological responses
repetitions, adaptations, efficiencies
adaptations maintained longer than in humans, upon ceasing programme
Acute physiological responses
returns to baseline quickly after exercise (if fit!)

What is not an aim of training?
Skill
Strenght
Speed
Stamina
Winning
What is a Gross Skill?
Takes place in a stable, predictable environment and athlete knows exactly what to do and when.
Involves large muscle movements (e.g. jumping)
Involve intricate, precise movements of small muscle groups
Where environment is constantly changing, and skills/movements have to be adapted.

Short term high intensity bouts
rest for lactate removal etc
What is anaerobic interval training?
Short term high intensity bouts
rest for lactate removal etc
Near VO2max
rest for myoglobin replenishment etc

What physiological changes with exercise contribute to Increased HR?
Increased aerobic metabolism, type I & IIA recruitment
increased O2 transport and diffusion rates
Increased muscular activity, increased metabolic rate
initiated by sympathetic activation, endocrine changes
resulting fuel changes, high temp, low O2…
Increased anaerobic metabolism, type IIX recruitment
limit within respiratory adaptation
timescale for aerobic metabolism
