Glycolysis is used when peak levels of activity are sustained for more than...
20s
4 of 30
What enzyme catalyses the reaction of pyruvate to lactate?

Type I
6 of 30
What muscle type has rapid powerful contractions and fatigue quickly?
Type IIX
7 of 30
What muscle type is oxidative, and intermediate power output and fatigue resistance?
Type IIa
8 of 30
What is the cause of fatigue during high intensity exercise?
Low intracellular pH, compression of blood vessels to remove waste etc
9 of 30
What is the cause of fatigue during low intensity exercise?
Substrate depletion
10 of 30
What principle suggests that training must be specific to muscles trained, intensity and duration of exercise?
Specificity principle
11 of 30
What principle suggests that for adaptions to occur, muscular/physiological component needs to be exposed to a level of training that it is not used to?
Overload principle
12 of 30
What principle suggests that adaptions need to be made throughout program to adjust volume/intensity?
Progression principle
13 of 30
What it not a factor that could affect how people respond to a training program differently?
Hair colour
14 of 30
What is the principle that suggests that people respond differently to the same training stimulus?
Individuality principle
15 of 30
What principle suggests that as an athlete becomes more experiences, improvements in training gets smaller?
Principle of diminishing returns
16 of 30
What principle suggests that the body can be detrained just as easily as trained after no work?
Principle of reversibility
17 of 30
What decrease in VO2 max has been noted after 2 weeks of inactivity?
5%

Does the muscular system, cardiorespiratory or anaerobic system detrain more slowly?
Anaerobic
19 of 30

High resistance to fatigue capacity
20 of 30
From sprint and resistance training, what adaptions occur to muscle?
