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.
