Physical Education
AOS2, UNIT 4
This session looks at both the aerobic and anaerobic changes that occur in an athlete when they train.
The focus is on developing useful learning and study strategies to facilitate full understanding of the differences between the chronic adaptations across the different body systems and how these differ for aerobic and anaerobic athletes.
The lens of focus is through a close up look at variety of past exam questions that assess knowledge associated with the understanding of the chronic adaptations that athletes will achieve through their training.
• Key knowledge – chronic adaptations of the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems to aerobic, anaerobic and resistance training.
• Key skills – explain how the cardiovascular, respiratory, and muscular systems chronic adaptations to training lead to improved performance.
