Mastering Aerobic Capacity and Anaerobic Thresholds in Sports Science

Slide 1 - Slide

Learning Objectives
At the end of the lesson, you will understand aerobic capacity, anaerobic thresholds, their testing protocols, and their role in homeostasis and sports performance.

Slide 2 - Slide

What do you already know about aerobic capacity and anaerobic thresholds?

Slide 3 - Mind map

Introduction to Aerobic Capacity
Aerobic capacity is the maximum amount of oxygen the body can utilize during exercise. It's crucial for endurance.

Slide 4 - Slide

Physiology of Aerobic Capacity
Involves cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Efficient oxygen transport and utilization are key.

Slide 5 - Slide

Introduction to Anaerobic Threshold
Anaerobic threshold is the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood.

Slide 6 - Slide

Physiology of Anaerobic Threshold
Involves lactate production and clearance. Determines how long high-intensity exercise can be sustained.

Slide 7 - Slide

Testing Aerobic Capacity
Common tests: VO2 max test, Cooper test. VO2 max is the gold standard for measuring aerobic capacity.

Slide 8 - Slide

Testing Anaerobic Threshold
Lactate threshold test, ventilatory threshold test. Both provide insights into exercise intensity sustainability.

Slide 11 - Slide

Importance of Homeostasis
Homeostasis maintains stable internal conditions. Vital for optimal sports performance.

Slide 12 - Slide

Homeostasis and Exercise
Exercise challenges homeostasis. Body adapts to maintain balance during physical activity.

Slide 13 - Slide

Homeostasis in Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise
Different demands on the body. Aerobic focuses on oxygen supply, anaerobic on energy without oxygen.

Slide 14 - Slide

Role in Sports Performance
Aerobic capacity and anaerobic thresholds determine endurance and power in athletes.

Slide 15 - Slide

Training Aerobic Capacity
Endurance training increases VO2 max. Includes long-distance running, cycling.

Slide 16 - Slide

Training Anaerobic Threshold
Interval training enhances lactate threshold. Short, high-intensity bursts.
