ATP_CP (Sprint training)
energy ).
However, these ATP stores are quickly depleted and another
compound, creatine
phosphate ( CP), also known as phosphocreatine
or (PC) is broken down
resulting in energy release. This energy can
combine with the ADP to resynthesize ATP for additional energy for
muscular contraction.
system uses muscle glycogen
(stored carbohydrate) and then blood glucose
as fuel to form ATP. This
system accounts for most of the energy generated
in all-out efforts of
approximately 30sec. to 2min. This system derives its
name from the accumulation of
lactic acid in the body.
Once the ATP_CP system has been exhausted, your
muscles can continue
to produce ATP anaerobically through the release of food energy,
i.e., glucose. In
this system, carbohydrate is broken down without oxygen;
the end product is lactic acid.
Training this
system will allow you to increase your ability to produce
energy in an anaerobic
state. This type of training is very demanding and should
not be confused with anaerobic
capacity training (anaerobic intervals with
very limited recovery between
efforts.).
production. This system is used
the majority of time when intensity is kept
below approximately 72% of
maximum heart rate. The aerobic system goes
through more then 20 steps within the muscle cell before ATP is produced.
For this reason, the aerobic system is a slower
producer of ATP during exercise.
However, this system produces a greater amount of
ATP.
Training can
improve delivery of oxygen to the muscles by carrying more
oxygen within the blood as
well as improving your muscles ability to extract
more oxygen to deliver to
working muscles. This form of training is very
important as it increases
muscle enzyme utilization, fuel efficiency and
aerobic
function and usually accounts
for the greatest volume of training for most
endurance
athletes.

Motor Pacing
can maintain while at lactate
threshold and above during a training session.
The benefit comes from the neurological response of
sustained higher
cadence training session.
Training of this type is primarily used in the final
period of preparation of the focal point of the season. This form
of training
should be used cautiously.
Too much motor pacing will cause a deterioration of
power leading to an
inability to ride individually
in the wind at sustained power outputs. Another
Possibility is the loss of ability to hold
a consistent pace unassisted. Many
workouts can be incorporated
into this type of a session:
Lactate threshold
VO2
Anaerobic power
Sprint workouts
These are most common choices, when using motor pacing
in training session.
