How can interval training improve aerobic performance? ✔✔Maximizes aerobic power and
minimizes boredom
List 3 physiological adaptations that occur to improve exercise performance and state how or
why improvements occurs. ✔✔1. Increased maximal blood flow - Performing aerobic exercise
forces large volumes of blood which increases stroke volume.2. Increased oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal - The cardiorespiratory system
saturates blood coming from the lungs with oxygen efficiently. The high pulmonary ventilation
assists with the removal of carbon dioxide during exercise.
3. Increased maximal oxygen uptake and aerobic power - Regular aerobic exercise causes an
increase in the number of capillaries per muscle fiber.
Define energy and its food source. ✔✔Energy is the ability to do work and the source of energy
is the sun.
What is an intercellular carrier of chemical energy produced by the body for muscular work?
✔✔Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Define: Aerobic ✔✔Aerobic is with oxygen or the presence of oxygen.
Define: Anaerobic ✔✔Anaerobic is without oxygen; usually w/short-spurt, high-energy
activities
