BODY ADAPTATION TO ANAEROBIC AND STRENGTH TRAINING

BODY ADAPTATION TO ANAEROBIC AND STRENGTH TRAINING

Hello conscious athletes! What are the physiological adaptations that occur in strength training and anaerobic sports branches (sprint, shot put, hammer, javelin, wrestling, etc.) that we do in gyms? Let’s be aware of these;

MUSCLES (IN ANAEROBIC BRANCHES AND STRENGTH TRAINING)

• Strength of connective tissues and tendons increases
• Anaerobic power and capacity increase
• Increases aerobic power and capacity
• Type 2 fibers hypertrophy
• Type 1 fibers hypertrophy
• Increase in ATP-PCr enzyme activity
• Increase in glycolytic enzyme activity
• Aerobic ATP production enzymes (Creps Cycle)
• Job involvement in more motor units
• Increased frequency of stimulation in motor units
• Coordination of motor units
• Increased reciprocal inhibition

BONE (ANAEROBIC BRANCH AND STRENGTH TRAINING)

• Increase in bone mineral density
• increase in bone strength
• Increased strength of ligaments and tendons
