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.
