Energy Systems: Fatigue & Recovery Factors - Comprehension

What is the primary factor involved in fatigue related to changes in the internal conditions of the muscle?

• Increased muscle acidity

• Reduced rates of energy liberation

• Depletion of fuels

• Elevated body temperatures

What is the main fuel used by the body during moderate and high intensity exercise?

• Protein

• Muscle Glycogen

• Phosphocreatine

• Blood Glucose

What is the acronym used to remember all the different types of fatigue?

• FAT

• FACTOR

• FUEL

• FATIGUE

What is the primary cause of muscle soreness after exercise?

• Microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers

• Dehydration

• Elevated core temperature

• Reduced rates of energy liberation

What is the primary aim of recovery strategies after exercise?

• To enhance training adaptations

• To promote overuse injuries

• To increase fatigue levels

• To delay removal of fatiguing factors

What is the primary factor that leads to a decrease in force and speed of muscle contraction?

• Accumulation of metabolic by-products (ADP and Pi)

• Thermoregulation (Dehydration)

• Fuel depletion (Glycogen)

• Accumulation of metabolic by-products (Lactate)

What is the primary factor that leads to an inability to continue the activity during fatigue?

• Exercise induced reduction in maximal force

• Fitness of the performer

• Intensity and duration of the activity

• Type of muscle contractions

What is the primary factor that contributes to an elevation in core temperature and onset of fatigue?

• Increased muscle acidity

• Reduced rates of energy liberation

• Heat generated during energy production

• Dehydration

What is the primary factor that promotes the removal of metabolic waste products such as H+ and lactate?

• Try an ice bath or contrast water bath

• Use R.I.C.E.R

• Rest and recover

• Active recovery

What is the primary factor that leads to a reduction in performance and capacity for muscular work?

• Reduction in energy stores

• Increased muscle acidity

• Dehydration

• Disturbances to the central nervous system
