This Podcast focuses on energy system development (ESD) in human performance, explaining the three primary energy systems: ATP-PC (alactic), glycolytic (anaerobic), and oxidative (aerobic). Each system’s characteristics, training methods, and durations are detailed, emphasizing the importance of aerobic development as a foundation for all training. Sample workout regimens are provided for each system, with a focus on progressive overload.
- Understanding energy systems and their role in performance
- Practical workout examples for each system
- Importance of building a strong aerobic base
This podcast details how muscle hypertrophy, the growth of muscle size and strength, enhances athletic performance. It explains the physiological mechanisms behind hypertrophy, including myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy driven by mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage. The podcast also outlines the role of different muscle fiber types and the importance of protein synthesis, satellite cell activation, and hormonal support. Finally, it presents APEC’s evidence-based training program, incorporating progressive overload, training volume and intensity, exercise selection, and nutritional guidance to optimize hypertrophy for athletic success.
- Principles of progressive overload, volume, and intensity
- Effective exercise selection for hypertrophy
- Nutritional and recovery strategies for muscle growth
