Adaptations to Aerobic Training | CSCS Chapter 6

[@IvyBartlett]

A resting heart rate of 26 bpm is incredible! I wonder if they’re the most relaxed person ever. The graph comparing the lactate performance curves of the sprinter, middle-distance runner, and marathoner was fascinating-a really effective visual!

[@NoelleDarquea]

I love that I can review what I have learned previously in these videos. Keeps me up to date on my knowledge of long-term physiological changes in our body

[@drewamato5467]

I'm honestly obsessed at the fact the body can ADAPT at all. The idea of running economy and how it works is fascinating.

[@Moniiiqueee824]

I was getting a bit lost when you were talking about muscular adaptations, but when you gave the example of the cyclist I instantly understood. Thanks for always being detailed and explain things so well for anyone just like me to understand!

[@zoiezantua7002]

thank you for the examples you give out with each concept, it makes so much more sense with them!

[@ClaireStone-jq4wg]

When looking at a few of the graphs, the adaptations didn't look super different at first, but when you broke down the numbers, I realized how truly impressive it is.

[@miadenava585]

It is so fascinating to learn about how the body can adapt to different changes! This video was great!!

[@AylethLizarraga]

I have work with a wide rage of patients and it is incredible comparing the vitals of athletes and seniors with cardiovascular issues! Opposite sides! This video was so helpful with comparing the difference between both aerobic and anaerobic training.

[@isaaccruz2101]

Awesome video thank goodness for folks like you who take the time to do this..

[@moirabryson5042]

It's really cool that motor unit cycling is occurring in aerobic training so that we can push off that fatigue for longer when compared to anaerobic where motor unit synergy occurs to have all those motor units acting at once. Thank you!

[@tonybianchini6084]

Again thank you for making these videos! Makes studying for the CSCS much easier!

[@DrJacobGoodin]

putting together my slides for more soon Tony... I just need to find a spot to record them in while working from home!

[@dereklinck2672]

Really great material on the differences between adaptations from aerobic vs anaerobic training. The fact that type II muscle fibers can convert to other subgroups of type II fibers is amazing.

[@jupshaw]

I love the point about trying to increase the lactate threshold. This is something i have loved to learn about when going over VO2 max topics.

[@audreyoates3242]

It's absolutely insane what the body can adapt to, especially the muscles converting. I recently re-started aerobic training and it's fascinating learning about the changes within my body!

[@clairemasterson6031]

As a former distance runner I knew some of this prior to this class, but I didn't know the why and now I do! Thanks Dr. Goodin!

[@thomaskinzler]

The distinction between anaerobic and aerobic training when it comes to motor unit usage was very interesting. Neural adaptations are made in response to both of these forms of training, but it's interesting to consider how motor units are synchronized with anaerobic training but they are cycled with aerobic training.

[@avajgallo]

I love learning about the different adaptations because now I can think in a more specific way about how I am training!

[@emilywalker9462]

A resting heart rate of 26 bpm is mindblowing! I wonder if they are like the chillest person ever. The graph of the lactate performance curves of the sprinter, middle distance and marathoner was super interesting, and such a great visual!

[@aribhalla9820]

As someone who has recently taken up distance running, it's fascinating to learn about the ways in which my body is adapting to my regular running schedule on a physiological level.

[@lexireynish5892]

It is really insane how our body can make so many little adaptations that last over such a long period of time. It's encouraging to know that those training sessions are actually accumulating to big changes.

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

It's always cool to learn about the different adaptations our body can go through, as well as comparing them from anaerobic to aerobic training.

[@sarahcox-barden]

This was another great review! I liked the portion about bone and connective tissue growth... I find it interesting that those parts of our bodies adapt too

[@wyattcarlson7504]

This video was a great explanation to some of the more chronic adaptations to aerobic training, especially increasing the maximum oxygen uptake.

[@inartificialcommentor]

Thank you Dr Goodin for your work!

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

I did not know about running economy before watching this video. It is so cool to be able to go further distances while using the same number of units of ATP.

[@ellieconiaris9073]

very helpful and in depth explanations of physiological adaptations

[@celinegriffin3244]

I definitely liked learning about running economy and its connection to sports! Even the types of adaptations like in neural adaptations as it increases, fatigue is delayed.

[@morganrolleri9198]

Thank you for the great video! Muscle fibers are so interesting to me! I think it is so cool how much they do even though they are so small.

[@vanessaviramontesPLNU]

Dr. Goodin, the most interesting adaptation to aerobic training to me was the lactate threshold and how athletes can actually build this to run stronger and faster at a higher percent of their v02 max

[@torilucht5871]

I find the bodies adaptation to be very interesting and it is cool how the body is strategic when it comes to which neurons are firing and working!

[@mollytucker567]

I thought this video was very interesting! It is so cool to learn about all of the ways our bodies adapt to aerobic training!

[@rozalynnlarson8835]

I really enjoy running and lifting, so this video was great. It was interesting to learn about the different adaptations that come with both aerobic and anaerobic training and how they differ. The greatest takeaway that I had from this video is that during aerobic training motor units cycle to prevent fatigue while anaerobic training causes more motor units to be recruited in order to prevent fatigue.

[@ChynnaKifer]

Thank you for explaining the main developments we would see between aerobic and anaerobic training and how the we should try to incorporate both into our exercise programs for better results!

[@jakegellatlyperformance]

I really liked learning about how the running economy and lactate threshold can be improved upon in elite athletes who have already near maxed out their VO2 max capabilities!

[@chrismangram8463]

liked how you put the key points of aerobic endurance training and what it can result in

[@lucamarin8565]

great explanation of the importance of training ones lactate threshold, makes a lot of sense that Vo2 can plateu.

[@willhopkins4197]

The conversion of muscle fibers is so interesting to me. It's so cool that changes can happen on such tiny fibers in your body.

[@emmasanchez5975]

I didn't realize how much our body adapts during different exercises. I feel like endurance training is so complex and fun to learn about! Thanks

[@karatemplin]

I love how much this class and x phys are overlapping right now! Definitely increases my understanding in both courses.

[@bojak76]

I am glad I am not the only one who notices and takes pride in obtaining a lower resting heart rate

[@alannabergherm8046]

I liked how you compared and contrasted the differences in aerobic and anaerobic training in your recap, it was interesting to see the different ways the body can adapt!

[@bensonmutuvi8429]

Adaptation with exercise and just external stimulus in general is such a crazy and cool idea. How our bodies are just built to survive.

[@tianguyen3897]

I enjoyed learning about running economy and how economy relates to other sports!

[@jamarmack9626]

I really enjoyed learning about the neural adaptations because I found it really interesting how much the brain can play a big role in our fatigue.

[@resilient5672]

Thank you for these videos! Really helping me with my studying for my CSCS certification! -Randy

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Happy to help Randy! Keep up the hard work my friend. We need more coaches like you willing to put in the effort to elevate the field.

[@resilient5672]

@@DrJacobGoodin Will do! Thanks😁💪🏾

[@laurenwahl9715]

The endocrine adaptations were especially interesting to me, as I feel that in the past classes I have had these have not been discussed as often.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

Having a resting HR at 26 BPM is crazy. Learning that aerobic training leads to so many chronic adaptations makes me want to encourage everyone to do aerobic training!

[@julianasum8481]

This video helped me understand that by improving lactate threshold and running economy, performance can have a better outcome.

[@charmenatchison854]

As a former track & field and volleyball athlete, I knew intuitively the training that works for sprinters and jumpers versus the slower paced activities, so I now have a better way to explain all of the "whys".

[@jakegonzales1367]

the differen t adaptation in our body are so interesting when it comes to aerobic exercise. The most interesting to me is the cardiovascular adaptations and the increasing in tidal volume and cardiac output.

[@macynunez4455]

Wow! Though it seems obvious now, I've always been curious about the intricate and physiological reasons for why after an entire season of water polo where I treaded water and swam back and forth for hours I had an unnecessarily hard time running for 30 seconds on the court at the start of basketball season. So interesting how specific our adaptations can be in response to certain training modes!

[@caleighgarcia7792]

I think that how our body works is so crazy. I think it is interesting how we can remodel bones and tendons along with muscular fiber types and a ton of other adaptations.

[@matthewwadley4348]

The neural adaptations for aerobic Exercise was confusing for me when reading in the book but this cleared things up and made me understand even more

[@DevanneyBoyd]

It is good to know ventilatory and neural adaptations are often specific to the mode of training!

[@melanieweirich8482]

I was shunned to learn that aerobic training has effects on the endocrine system. I was even more stunned to learn that trained athletes may have a shunted endocrine effect.

[@Adam.gates_]

It was interesting to see how seemingly small improvements in lactate threshold can significantly improve performance.

[@BrianaReynoso]

I found the "running economy" portion very interesting considering this is the first time I dig deep into the topic

[@abartsch0022]

I love how you use practical examples like how a person who runs alot will have great breathing techniques for running but will not have the same results if you threw them in the pool. Unless they like that chlorine taste. Also that is crazy about the guy with the 26 bpm, like he must have been running his whole life to get a heart rate that low. But that is cool how the lactate threshold can be trainable and will allow the athlete to enhance their perform when they already maxed out their VO2max.

[@jadenrea1109]

I think that it is so crazy and interesting that aerobic training over time can allow for one's resting heart rate to drop 10-20 bpm. Is it wild to think about how the physiology of the body allows for and makes those changes within the body.

[@wellbodisalone]

Neural adaption is such an interesting topic.

[@cameransherwood5157]

So wild to me that through continuous and consistent aerobic training that our body can adapt and actually alter muscle fiber types overtime, even if its a slight change!

[@TrainingbyJovy]

Thank you for this video!!

[@S7ilgar]

Thank you: that was very interesting 👍

[@coreycollier973]

Running economy was a new concept and it is interesting to see how we can increase our efficiency with ATP in order to more bang for your buck.

[@evaozimec]

I found it interesting that repeated bouts of aerobic exercise can cause Type II fibers to increase aerobic capacity but chronic aerobic endurance training can reduce Type II fibers within the muscle cell.

[@VirAquinoPLNU]

its really amazing how our bodies adapt to so so many things we do to it. Do you think that the vo2 max record will be broken?

[@clarisamarin7284]

If you have strategic timing and firing of the synergist muscles you can maintain lower levels of force output for longer.

[@hannahb872]

I thought it was interesting where you covered more on factors like lactate threshold and running economy, how they can be improved by increasing the intensity of aerobic endurance exercise. I didn't always like weight training would help long distance runners, you'd think the extra muscle would slow them down but it can definitely benefit them!

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I found the video to be very interesting especially the topic of running economy.

[@TRamos-pl6oo]

crazy how motor units are able to cycle through each other to extend aerobic training

[@austiniturbe4495]

Interesting how we don't tell our body which system to use when we're doing an activity. It just does it and we go from there. I never thought about it, let alone learn about it, but now since I'm taking this class I'm observing a lot more and seeing things from a different perspective.

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

I found it very interesting that the trained muscle group will be the only ones getting the adaptations, just like a cycler who will only get muscle adaptations in their legs and not in their arms if they don't train arms.

[@joshuawada8783]

26 bpm is insanely low! I was curious for more information about the lowest recorded heart rate, and I got some articles talking about heart rates as low as 15 beats per minute, but it was because the person was SUPER unhealthy, or needed a pacemaker. We should do a poll for class to see everyone's resting heart rates.

[@joshcombs123]

It is crazy that we are not building up the muscle necesarily, but we are increasing the aerobic capacity of said muscle

[@dannicazambrano]

It was interesting to learn how increased parasympathetic tone is one reason endurance athletes can have low heart rates. Can this be detrimental for health?

[@tolitosjones3431]

Hey Doc, in the cscs practice tests it asks( Which of the following accumulates in the working muscle as an athlete exercises at near-maximum intensity?) The answer is surprisingly hydrogen ions and not lactic acid. Why is this the case?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Good Q. Lactic acid loses its hydrogen ion into the blood stream, which is what actually contributes to peripheral fatigue. Lactate can be used as a fuel source.

[@emilydonahue8216]

dang! a 26 BPM resting HR is wild!

[@S7ilgar]

Question plz: does the increase of capillaries only occur in the muscles engaged in running (legs) or does it increase in the entire body?

[@kennyvogan5673]

How much can VO2 increase with it? I didnt quite catch that in the video.

[@ryanharris8481]

I would like to know what physiological effects when someone reaches a "runner's high"? Or is it just mental?

[@mikestatz5098]

Really crazy that someone could get their resting HR all the way into the 20s

[@braedenmoore3743]

I thought it was interesting how lactate threshold had a different effect depending on the distance of the run.

[@devynpryor8228]

Can't wait to smoker the difference of long term effects to acute effects of aerobic training.

[@ameliabrock]

It's really interesting that the body modulates lactate levels according to stimuli, but at this point in the course I'm starting to just expect exercise changes every single thing in the body lol

[@kylesands9693]

Is economy useful in real world application for programing, load tracking, etc. ?

[@dimitricarrion6145]

I found it interesting how overtraining can lead to a decrease in testosterone which just further proves it can be beneficial take some time off and some times it is necessary.

[@abhisheknayak7862]

Sir, does our body adapts to cardio and burn less calories than last time doing same cardio(same effort nd duration)??

[@oliviadyck510]

I never fully realized that testosterone amounts can change if you overtrain! That is so interesting and I wonder what the physiological reason is for that?!

[@joyshang5670]

I found it interesting how aerobic training can lead to an increase in hormone circulation of testosterone and growth hormones.

[@myawilliams8357]

40 to 42 for a resting hear rate. I wish I could get mine like that. I don't think its ever been like that.

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

It was crazy to know that the lowest resting heart rate recorded is 26 bpm.

[@SuperTroyAustin]

40-42 resting HR... when i grow up i wanna be just like you (:

[@WilliamLai2024]

Appreciate your content. I'm currently studying for the cpt, not cscs, but I find your content to be extremely helpful in understanding the cpt content.
