Extensive summary of case 7 up to and including case 11with additional
comments from the tutor included. The original document was too large to

PROBLEM 7: START … TO RUN!
Problem statement:
What adaptations occur in the body after endurance training?
Brainstorm:
- Tidal volume increases
- Changes in heart caused by training
o Stroke volume increases
o Heart rate recovery time decreases
- SDH graph
o After months of training, increase→ increase in citric acid cycle→ increase aerobic
energy system
o SDH: enzyme, in the graph its activity increases→ why/how?
▪ Body requires more energy→ response to this higher demand
▪ Increase in mitochondria → more enzyme
▪ Because of the training
- Physiological principles of a well-underpinned endurance training program
o 3 training sessions per week with gradually increased workload
o Frequency→ 3x a week
o Intensity
o Time
o Type→ running
o Volume

Tabel 7.5
• Endurance is a term that refers to two separate but related concepts: muscular
endurance and cardiorespiratory endurance. Each makes a unique contribution to
athletic performance, and each differs in its importance to different athletes. For
sprinters, endurance is the quality that allows them to sustain a high speed over the full
distance of, for example, a 100 m or 200 m dash. This component of fitness is termed
muscular endurance, the ability of a single muscle or muscle group to maintain high-
intensity, repetitive, or static contractions. This type of endurance is also exemplified by
a weightlifter doing multiple repetitions, a boxer, or a wrestler. The exercise or activity
can be rhythmic and repetitive in nature, such as multiple repetitions of the bench
press for the weightlifter and jabbing for the boxer. Or the activity can be more static,
