Exercise Physiology: Chapter 11 – Adaptions to Aerobic and Anaerobic Training

➢ Overview o During a single bout of aerobic exercise → the human body precisely adjusts its cardiovascular and respiratory function to meet the energy and oxygen demands of actively contracting muscle. o When these systems are challenged repeatedly, as happens with regular exercise training, they adapt in ways that allow the body to improve O2max and overall endurance performance. o Aerobic training
• Also known as cardiorespiratory endurance training
• It improves cardiac function and peripheral blood flow and enhances the capacity of the muscle fibers to generate greater amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). o Anaerobic training
• Improves anaerobic …show more content…

• Anaerobic training increases the ATP-PCr and glycolytic enzymes but has no effect on the oxidative enzymes
• Aerobic training increases the oxidative enzymes but has little effect on the ATP-PCr or glycolytic
