Sample Answer
- High intensity interval training increases ATP-PCr stores and enzyme activity for immediate energy production
- Training at lactate threshold improves lactate buffering capacity and tolerance during glycolytic system use
- Aerobic training at moderate intensities increases mitochondrial density and oxygen utilisation
- Varied intensity training improves overall energy system efficiency and interaction between systems
- Specific intensity training leads to specific metabolic adaptations within targeted energy system
