Study Notes
Overview of Training Modalities
- Adaptations to training are specific to the exercise performed: endurance vs. resistance training.
- Endurance training focuses on low-force, long-duration cardio activities.
- Resistance training involves high-force, short-duration activities with body weight or external load.
- Each modality falls at different points on the intensity/duration spectrum, represented by VO2max (endurance) and one-rep max (resistance).
Physiological Demands of Sports
- Sports like Tour de France require sustained aerobic performance, emphasizing endurance.
- Strong Man competitions demand short bursts of high-intensity strength, focusing on resistance training.
- Key differences in muscle activity: endurance activities require prolonged low-intensity contractions, while resistance training requires maximal effort over short periods.
Muscle Adaptations to Endurance Training
- Increased capillarisation enhances blood flow and provides more metabolic fuel to muscles.
- Greater fuel storage capabilities lead to increased carbohydrate (CHO) and fat reserves.
- More mitochondria improve the capacity for aerobic ATP production.
- Enhanced fatty acid utilization saves carbohydrates for later use during extended activities.
Muscle Adaptations to Resistance Training
- Increased overall muscle size and hypertrophy occur due to enhanced contractile protein content.
- Type 2b muscle fibers undergo significant growth, contributing to strength improvements.
- Increased force transfer protein content augments force transmission within and outside muscle fibers.
- Strength gains result from both hypertrophy and neural adaptations facilitating muscle contractions.
Exercise Characteristics and Adaptations
-
Endurance training:
- Muscle contraction involves low force over an extended duration.
- Causes metabolic stress leading to improved fuel supply, storage, utilization, and fatigue resistance.
-
Resistance training:
- Involves high-force, short-duration muscle contractions.
- Induces mechanical stress resulting in muscle hypertrophy, increased strength, and enhanced force output.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
- HIIT falls between endurance and resistance training modalities.
- Primarily creates metabolic stress due to lighter loads, leading to more endurance-focused adaptations.
- Considered an efficient time-saving training method, though it may not yield as much strength gain as traditional resistance training.
Continuum of Adaptations
- Training adaptations are not entirely distinct; they can be viewed on a continuum, blending elements of both endurance and resistance adaptations.
