Understanding how the body produces energy during physical activity, including the aerobic and anaerobic systems.
Aerobic and Anaerobic Energy Systems: This topic discusses the two main energy systems used during exercise and how they provide energy to the body.
Energy Expenditure: This topic covers the concept of energy expenditure, the ways in which it is measured, and the factors that influence it.
Metabolic Rate: This topic discusses the body's metabolic rate, how it is calculated, and factors that affect it.
Oxygen Consumption: This topic covers how the body consumes oxygen during exercise and the factors that influence oxygen consumption.
VO2 Max: VO2 Max is the maximum amount of oxygen uptake during exercise. This topic covers the concept of VO2 Max, how it is measured, and its importance in exercise prescription.
Energy Systems During Exercise: This topic covers the energy systems used during different types of exercise, such as endurance exercise, high-intensity interval training, and resistance training.
Exercise Intensity: This topic discusses the different levels of exercise intensity and how they impact energy systems.
Workload: Workload refers to the amount of work the body is doing during exercise. This topic covers the concept of workload and how it influences energy systems.
Fatigue: During exercise, fatigue is the decline in the body's ability to perform. This topic covers the different types of fatigue, their causes, and how to manage them.
Exercise Prescription: This topic covers the process of designing an exercise program. It includes the principles of exercise prescription, the components of a workout, and how to set up a program for different populations.
Exercise Testing: Exercise testing is used to assess an individual's physical fitness and determine their training needs. This topic covers the different types of exercise testing, their benefits, and how to conduct them.
Endurance Training: Endurance training involves exercises designed to improve cardiovascular fitness. This topic covers the principles of endurance training, how to design an endurance program, and the benefits of endurance training.
Resistance Training: Resistance training involves exercises that use weights or resistance to strengthen muscles. This topic covers the principles of resistance training, how to design a resistance program, and the benefits of resistance training.
Flexibility Training: Flexibility training involves exercises that improve flexibility and range of motion. This topic covers the principles of flexibility training, how to design a flexibility program, and the benefits of flexibility training.
Cross-training: Cross-training involves using different types of exercise to improve overall fitness. This topic covers the principles of cross-training, how to design a cross-training program, and the benefits of cross-training.
Training for Special Populations: Different populations, such as older adults or pregnant women, require specific exercise programs. This topic covers the principles of training for special populations and how to design programs for different groups.
Nutrition and Energy Systems: This topic covers the relationship between nutrition and energy systems. It includes topics such as energy sources, macronutrient intake, and post-exercise nutrition.
Energy System Adaptations: Over time, the body adapts to exercise by improving energy system efficiency. This topic covers how the body adapts to exercise, the importance of rest and recovery, and the long-term benefits of exercise.
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation: Injury prevention and rehabilitation are critical for maintaining fitness levels. This topic covers how to prevent injuries, the principles of injury rehabilitation, and how to modify exercise programs to accommodate injuries.
ATP-PC system: The ATP-PC system is used for short bursts of high-intensity activity and is the primary energy system used during activities such as sprinting and weightlifting.
Anaerobic glycolysis system: This system is used for high-intensity activity lasting up to 2-3 minutes and is used during activities such as 400m sprints and hockey.
Aerobic glycolysis system: The aerobic glycolysis system is the body's primary source of energy during low-intensity activities lasting more than 2-3 minutes and is used during activities such as jogging and hiking.
Fatty acid oxidation system: Fatty acid oxidation is the primary energy source during activities lasting over 30 minutes at low to moderate intensity and is used during activities like marathon running and cycling.
Protein catabolism system: Protein catabolism is the body's last resort for energy and is used only when other energy sources are depleted. It is used during long-duration activities like ultra-marathons.
Phosphagen system: This is a short-lasting system that provides energy to muscles for 10-15 seconds, making it useful in sports such as weightlifting and shot-put.
Alactic anaerobic system: This system relies on stored energy in muscles and can be used for high-intensity activities like sprinting for about 30 seconds.
Lactic anaerobic system: Also known as glycolysis, the lactic anaerobic system creates energy without oxygen and can sustain high-intensity workouts like lifting weights or sprinting for 2-3 minutes.
Oxidative system: The oxidative system provides energy for low-intensity activities such as walking and during long-duration endurance activities that span four hours or more.
ATP system: The ATP system provides energy for short burst activities, like jumping or sprinting, and can be sustained only for a few seconds.
