how our metabolic system produces energy during exercise
In this week’s lesson we learned how our metabolic system produces energy during exercise. To continue studying this topic, please answer the following four questions about the lactate threshold and training. You are encouraged to use required readings and outside sources to locate this information. It’s important to answer these questions using your own words. Your access to everything you need to write a great paper. APUS Sports and Health Sciences Library Guide link: https://www.apus.edu/apus-library/online-research/research/research-guides/school-of-health-sciences/sports-and-health-sciences Using APA formatting. Provide a cover page, 2-3 pages (aprox 2-5 paragraphs per question), and a reference page, and cite your source(s) of information, both in the text and at the end of the paper. A grading rubric indicating point values for each question is located below. 1. What is the lactate threshold? Define it using proper terminology and explain how it relates to aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. 2. What factors influence the percent of VO2max at which the lactate threshold occurs? That is, for some people, the lactate threshold occurs at 50% of their max while for others, it occurs at 75% of their max. What causes these differences? In addition to listing the factors, explain how they would increase or decrease the threshold. 3. What is lactate threshold training? Describe what it means and two methods used in this style of training. 4. Provide data from a research article that shows how lactate threshold training can impact aerobic performance. Summarize and provide a real world example of how this article can assist an athlete with their training. NOTE: the article must be from the Library and should be from 2013 or later. Type in key terms into the ″EVERYTHING″ search bar and narrow your results from there. Or see the APUS S&HS library guide, linked above, for a short cut to resources for this course.
