Compare and contrast the energy levels, different types of adaptations, ergogeni

Question

Compare and contrast the energy levels, different types of adaptations, ergogenic aids, and endocrine changes of a Shot-Putter vs. a Marathon Runner?

For example: Shot putter's have: High Intensity, usually 85% or above 1 Rep Max.

Adaptations to Aerobic Training: Increase Stroke Volume, increase capillary density or # of capillaries, increase lactate threshold, increase # and size of mitochondria, etc.

Endocrine Changes: increase in cirate synthase, increase in catecholamines, etc.

Ergogenic Aids: Caffeine (Legal aid) --> increase alertness, mood, perception of energy, increase epineephrine which increases FFM, decreases fatigue, etc.

Please explain everything, Thank you!! Points to correct answer!

Explanation / Answer

Shot putters have: High Intensity, usually 85% or above 1 Rep Max.

Adaptations to Aerobic Training: Increase Stroke Volume, increase capillary density or network of capillaries, increase lactate threshold, increase number and size of mitochondria, etc.

Endocrine Changes: increase in citrate synthase, increase in catecholamine, etc.

Ergogenic Aids: Caffeine (Legal aid) --> increase alertness, mood, perception of energy, increase epinephrine which increases FFM, decreases fatigue, etc.

Marathon Runners have: Usually around 70% 1 Rep Max.

Adaptations to Aerobic Training: Increased muscle ability to produce energy aerobically, decreased oxygen consumption, Increase Stroke Volume, high lactate threshold, high glycogen storage, increase number of mitochondria.

Endocrine Changes: increase in citrate synthase, increase in catecholamine, etc.

Ergogenic Aids: Soda: maintains hydration and electrolyte balance

Caffeine: increase alertness, mood, perception of energy, increase epinephrine which increases FFM, decreases fatigue, etc.

Dietary antioxidants: detoxifies free radicals, enhance recovery from exercise.
