Quick questions on Principles of training in HSC PDHPE Core 2
3short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is strength training example?Show answer
Adding 2.5 kg to the bench press every two weeks once technique is consistent. Running example. Increasing weekly mileage from 40 km to 44 km to 48 km over three weeks.
What is the aerobic training threshold?Show answer
Roughly 60-85% of maximum heart rate, depending on goal and method. Sustained training in this zone produces aerobic adaptation. Below 60%, training stimulus is too low for meaningful aerobic improvement.
What is the anaerobic training threshold?Show answer
Roughly 85% of maximum heart rate and above. Training here produces lactate accumulation and adaptation in the anaerobic systems. The lactate threshold itself is the intensity at which blood lactate begins to rise sharply, typically corresponding to around 85-90% of maximum heart rate for trained athletes.
