Abstract |
Effective
energy provision will result from the implementation of integrated
and effective work/rest ratios, which delay the onset of fatigue,
facilitate effective recovery and, perhaps more importantly, eradicate
the potential problems associated with overtraining. The 'shuttle'
systems of creatine kinase, adenylate kinase, nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide and lactate dehydrogenase need to be stimulated by the
organisation, design and prescription of relevant training methods.
Training effectiveness will therefore be improved by a better understanding
of metabolic limitations supported by physiological assessment, which
means that training can be made more specific. |
