The opposite occurs when heat loss exceeds heat production, as experienced in cold conditions. ©PE Studies Revision Seminars RADIATION CONDUCTION CONVECTION EVAPORATION 5 EXERCISING IN THE HEAT – EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION HEAT EXHAUSTION: dehydration + ineffective circulatory system Dehydration as a result of exercising in the heat ↓ Plasma Volume ↓ Blood Pressure Dizziness Headache General fatigue Nausea Must stop, drink fluid and lie down with feet up! ↓ Stroke Volume ↑ Heart Rate Home ©PE Studies Revision Seminars Children have increased risk heat exhaustion due to following reasons: • Lower sweating rate than adults • Higher core temp during exercise •Less developed sweat glands • Smaller hearts leading to lower cardiac output 6 DRINKING GUIDELINES 3500 3000 2kg loss in body weight requires 3000ml post exercise FLUID INTAKE 2500 2000 2000ml daily 1500 1000 600ml 500 400ml 200ml 0 24 hours Home 3-4hr pre - 20 min prior performance to exercise ©PE Studies Revision Seminars Every 15 minutes during perf Post exercise 7 ALTITUDE – UNDERSTANDING HOW IT AFFECTS PERFORMANCE • When we inhale, O2 moves through the lungs and into the alveoli where it diffuses to the blood to be transported to the tissues. Gas exchange takes place due to a pressure difference called a pressure gradient. The alveoli is high in O2 and therefore is high in pressure. The blood is low in oxygen and therefore low in pressure. This pressure differential causes O2 to move from the lungs into the blood • At altitude, there is a reduction in the pressure of O 2 entering the lungs. This reduces the pressure difference with the result being less O 2 diffusing from the alveoli into the blood. At sea level, O2 has a partial pressure of 159mmHg At Mt Everest, O2 has a partial pressure of 48mmHg In surrounding venous blood, O2 has a partial pressure of 47mmHg A reduced pressure difference at altitude causes less O 2 to be transported to the tissues, reducing exercise performance! ©PE Studies Revision Seminars Home 8 ALTITUDE – UNDERSTANDING HOW IT AFFECTS PERFORMANCE ENDURANCE ATHLETES POWER ATHLETES Negatively affected due to; Positively affected due to; • • • Less 02 uptake (hypoxia) and lower pulmonary diffusion means a reduced ability of the body to provide 02 to the muscles via the aerobic pathway. Aerobic metabolism is adversely affected Low humidity at altitude – greater risk of dehydration • Less drag (friction) due to thinner air causing less resistance Decreased gravity effect on objects – objects travel further for any applied force ©PE Studies Revision Seminars Home 9 DAILY ENERGY REQUIREMENTS – A BALANCED DIET • The amount of energy we consume each day is dependant on a number of factors. These include; 1. The age of the individual 2. The sex of the individual 3. Their level of physical activity 4. Periods of growth • To meet the body’s energy demands, it is important that we adjust our diet accordingly. • For a normal male, approximately; • 55-60% Carbohydrates • 25-30% fats • 10-15% proteins • For athletes involved in heavy endurance training, approximately; • 70% Carbohydrates • 15% fats • 15% protein(this may increase to up to 30% for body builders) ©PE Studies Revision Seminars Home NORMAL MALE CHO FATS PROTEIN ENDURANCE ATHLETE CHO FATS PROTEIN 10 RATE OF USE OF ENERGY FUELLING ENERGY SYSTEMS Carbohydrates Fat Untrained, low intensity Home Trained, low intensity Untrained, increased intensity EXERCISE INTENSITY Trained, increased intensity ©PE Studies Revision Seminars 11 ILLEGAL ERGOGENIC AIDS Diuretics • Increases volume of urine secreted and is used by performers trying to make weight e.g. boxing and sports requiring athletes to be in a certain weight range • May also be used as a masking agent by diluting the concentration of illegal substances in urine • Possible side effects include; Weakness or dizziness Muscle cramps Diarrhoea Joint pain http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ouch-boxing-footwork.jpg Home ©PE Studies Revision Seminars 12 ENERGY SYSTEM INTERPLAY 100 ENERGY CONTRIBUTION (%) 90 80 70 60 50 40 Aerobic 30 Anaerobic 20 10 0 Home EVENT ©PE STUDIES REVISION SEMINARS 13 PERIODISATION OF PHYSICAL SKILLS TRAINING Periodisation is the planning, well in advance, of training variables to achieve optimal performance at the most crucial times. • It involves varying the volume and intensity of training and if done properly, it will; Help to avoid staleness, overtraining and burnout Promote higher levels of enthusiasm in the player group. Ensures proper application of the principal of progressive overload in the physical conditioning of the players. Minimises likelihood of injuries Improves the psychological, physiological, technical and tactical levels of the players.

Increase recovery techniques 9 8 7 VOLUME 6 5 4 3 2 General pre season sees aerobic fitness and basic skill work as priority – high volume Specific pre season involves anaerobic fitness, strength & power, sport specific skills – match conditions Each week sees application of mini taper in preparation for fixture with hardest work completed at beginning of week – maintenance of fitness levels the key! Taper just prior to finals to ensure ↑ glycogen stores, speed, power and agility control .
