1. What happens after 2-3 minutes at the same pace when you hit a hill or have to increase speed?
Increased demand for o2 and fuel, but the CV system cannot immediately supply
Start over on the timeline
Decreased demand of O2 and fuel (rest, downhill, decreased intensity) = recovery - go into your stores
Can fill in stores while you are still being active
If you have that capacity and your opponent does not then you can out compete your component
These ideas should dictate how you train for your sport
Athlete constantly changing intensity – have to practice that type of exercise
If you train only how you perform you are going to limit your potential and your performance
2. Can you alter your CV System, increase stroke volume, to alter the window in the time line discussed? I.e., pick up portions sooner or make portions shorter?
Yes! Maximize O2 stores with good OP training past 2-3 minutes (aerobic fitness)
If you train past 2-3 minutes in 60-85 minutes 3-6x a week for 6-8 weeks you will store more O2 in muscles
More fit people CV system will kick in closer to 2 minutes
Individuals will be able to shorten the resources they use in that period of the time line leaving more later when they have to later speed up and go back to the beginning
With more stores in first 0-2 seconds of timeline we can do more work
With better CV (aerobic) fitness the CV system is quicker (closer to 2 than 3 minutes)
We can decrease our anaerobic use and save for later
3. Does a marathon runner ever go back to the start? When?
Does he ever have to do add anaerobic sessions to training? Why?
Aerobic athletes
Yes! Hill, kick at the end, etc. (any increase of intensity
Yes! Must train for the use of anaerobics (1-2x/week) so it is there as needed
Do about twice a week so the kick is there if she needs it.
4. How do you start a cardiovascular program with a sedentary individual in order to establish
