First, let's focus on training. Training is a conscious action aimed at causing specific adaptive changes in the body. Therefore, you need to know what stimuli and what changes we want to trigger through training. For each competitor, these will be different stimuli and a specific stimulus, for example 5x1 km, applied at different times will cause different changes - even in the same competitor. What is this information about? Training plans cannot be copied! Even for the same player. So where to start? We have to define the specifics of the starting effort by monitoring and recording the starting intensity. Important: heart rate achieved, exercise time, lactate concentration. On this basis, it is possible to indirectly determine what we should strive for in training. These three parameters will determine the athlete's reaction to the starting effort. The next step is to determine the athlete's current state of fitness. According to sports criteria, this will be a sports result, but according to physiological criteria, it will be the maximum oxygen consumption, which determines energy supply, and the lactate threshold, which indicates the effectiveness of energy sources. There is one source of energy in the body - the chemical ATP. The body's ATP supply is sufficient for a few seconds. This must then be followed by ATP re-synthesis. From the point of view of endurance, the most important for ATP reconstruction are glycogen (a simpler form of carbohydrates) and free fatty acids. It should be remembered that amino acids can also be a material for the reconstruction of ATP - they are used as a reserve material. (What I wrote is very simplistic, but please take it as a big abbreviation.) In simple terms, we can say that the main sources of energy in endurance disciplines are free fatty acids, glycogen and amino acids. Why am I writing about energy sources? Endurance training is primarily a training of energy transformations. The intensity of exercise, expressed by the heart rate, informs about the energy sources used. In order to more precisely determine which energy sources the athlete uses during exercise, we need to know: the athlete's maximum heart rate, starting heart rate and lactate threshold heart rate. The slogan comes up again: lactate threshold. It turns out that a competitor with a higher threshold speed (lactate threshold speed) will be better than a competitor with a lower speed. Most physiology textbooks report that threshold intensities are the most effective training stimulus for developing endurance. The coaching experience confirms this information. _____________________________ To be continued on The other side SPORT KONSULTING ul. św.
