cardiovascular and pulmonary systems working
efficiently for a sport by training the different
energy systems

3. Aerobic Conditioning
 The aerobic system, also known as aerobic
glycolysis, powers continuous steady state
exercise longer than 3 to 4 minutes.
 In the aerobic system, energy (ATP) is produced
through Pyruvic Acid and Lipid/Protein fragments
entering the Kreb Cycle and the Electron
Transport Cycle.
 Aerobic training increases aerobic capacity
through adaptations to the athlete's oxygen
transport and utilization systems (McArdle et. al.,
1991).

4. Aerobic Training
 must be specific to the athlete's sport.
 must provide a sufficient cardiovascular overload
to stimulate increases in the athlete's stroke
volume and cardiac output.
 Aerobic training increases fitness and is achieved
through:
 Interval training,
 Continuous training (must be intense enough to
overload the aerobic system),
 Fartlek training

5. Anaerobic Conditioning
 utilized in all-out efforts of exercise lasting up to
one minute.
 two anaerobic systems available:
 The Adenosine Triphosphate-Creatine Phosphate
(ATP-CP) system, and
 The anaerobic glycolysis/lactic acid system.

6. Anaerobic Training
 enhances the anaerobic metabolic capacity of the
muscle fibres that are being trained, thus
increasing the ability of the athlete to train, and
therefore perform at higher exercise intensity.
 Achieved through:
 Sprint (speed),
 Power training.
