Transcript Active vs. Passive Recovery

Active vs. Passive Recovery
• Recovery after exercise is associated with reduction of
blood lactate concentration
• Active recovery (low intensity aerobic exercise)
reduces recovery time compared to passive recovery
• During active recovery, blood flow to the active
muscles remains high
• Since the energy consumption during active recovery
remains high, the use of lactate as an energy source is
higher compared to passive recovery

Economy of Movement and
Mechanical Efficiency in Exercise
• Efficiency- the relation between input and
resulting output
• The quantity of energy required to perform
a particular task in relation to the actual work
accomplished
• Economy of physical effort

Mechanical Efficiency
Example:
- 13,300 kgm of work were generated during 15 minute ride on a
stationary bicycle.
- Total oxygen consumption 25 liters.
Mechanical efficiency calculation:
Energy input:
25 liter of oxygen x 5kcal = 125 kcal
1 kcal = 426 kgm
125 x 426 = 53,250 kgm

Efficiency of the Human Body
• The efficiency of human locomotion in walking,
running and cycling ranges between 20-30%
• 20-30% of energy consumption is converted to
mechanical work and 70-80% is converted
directly to heat
• During rest 97% of energy consumption is
converted directly to heat

Muscle fiber type has only a moderate effect
on maximal performance
Can training Change Fiber Type?
Training a FT -fibered muscle for endurance will not
increase the number of ST fibers, nor will training a STfibered muscle for strength and power increase the number
of FT fibers. With the proper training, FT -B fibers can take
on some of the endurance characteristics of FT -A fibers
and FT -A fibers can take on some of the strength and
power qualities of FT-B fibers. However, there is no interconversion of fibers. FT fibers cannot become ST fibers, or
vice versa. What an athlete is born with is what he or she
must live with.
