Which energy system is responsible for the majority of the fitness component?
In terms of Aerobic and Anaerobic Energy Systems...
Also how are 2 ways to delay the switch to fats in an event ?
Answer: the anaerobic system is responsible for the majority of fitness components
the anaerobic system is predominant when using
anaerobic power
muscular power
muscular strength
agility
speed
the aerobic system is predominant when using
aerobic power
local muscular endurance
the other components (co-ordination, balance, flexibility etc.) can't realy be classified as anaerobic or aerobic
one way to delay switching to fats is:
carbohydrate loading (tapering training 3 to 4 days before your big event and increasing your carbohydrate intake during these 3 to 4 days...note tapering means lowering training frequency)
carbohydrate loading (if done correctly) increases muscle glycogen stores significantly. this means that you have more glycogen to burn before you have to rely on burning fats
can't really think of another way.......maybe consuming small amounts of high-GI foods (like lollies, sports drinks) every 10-15 mins of the event.. this would top up glycogen stores and thus delay your reliance on fats
