Info
Anaerobic training:
o Characterized by high-intensity, intermittent bouts of exercise
o Requires ATP to be regenerated t faster rate than aerobic energy system is capable of
Difference in energy requirement = made up by anaerobic energy system, which works in the absence of oxygen
o Anaerobic alactic system (Phosphagen/ creatine phosphate system
o Anaerobic lactic system ( Glycolytic system)
Long-term adaptions that occur in response to anaerobic training = specifically related to characteristics of the
training program
o Improvements in muscular strength, power, hypertrophy , muscular endurance, motor skills and
coordination = recognized as beneficial adaptions following anaerobic modalities
o Include: resistance training, plyometric drills and speed, agility and interval training
o Aerobic system = limited involvement n high-intensity anaerobic activities but plays important role in
recovery of energy stores during periods of low-intensity exercise/rest
Phosphagen system:
o Sprints+ plyometrics
o Usually less than 10 sec, minimize fatigue by allowing almost complete recovery between sets (5-7min)
Glycolytic system:
o Longer-duration interval-type anaerobic training
o Shorter rests adopted (20-60sec)
Integration of high-intensity exercise with short rest periods = considered important aspect of anaerobic training
o Athletes required to perform near-maximally under fatigued conditions during competition
o Critical that appropriate anaerobic training be programmed + prescribed in ways to optimize
physiological adaptions that determine performance
Competitive sports requires complex interaction of all energy systems + demonstrates how each of them
contributes to a varying extent in order to fulfill the global metabolic demands of competition
Wide variety of adaptions = repoted following anaerobic training, changes enable individuals to improve athletic
performance standards
o Nervous
o Muscular
o Connective tissue
o Endocrine system
o Cardiovascular system
