Fatigue

Cards (7)

  • Types of anaerobic fatigue?
    Depletion of fuels
    • PC Stores -> Glycogen (slower)
    Metabolic By-Products
    • ADP + Pi
    • H+ ions
    • Lactate
  • Types of aerobic fatigue?
    Depletion of fuels
    • Glycogen -> fats (slower)
    Increase Temperature
    • blood to skin -> sweat -> water loss
    = thick blood + high BP + lose electrolytes + dehydration

    Decreased CNS firing
    • To reduce fatigue
  • Template for fatigue questions?
    1. Physiological change
    2. Physiological impact
    3. Impact on performance
  • What does ADP+Pi do?
    Decrease muscle contractile force -> decreased performance
  • What does H+ ion build up do?
    Decrease pH of muscle cells -> denaturation of glycemic enzymes thus decreased muscle contractile force -> decreased performance
  • Benefits of Active Recovery?
    • Remove metabolic byproducts
    • Prevent venous pooling
    • Allow for easier thermoregulation (cooling)
    • Allow for more oxygen to be pumped into the muscle
  • Benefits of Passive Recovery?
    • Replenishment of PC Stores
