Anaerobic System
• Differentiate between aerobic training adaptations and the anatomical, physiological, and
performance adaptations following anaerobic training
• Discuss the central and peripheral neural adaptations to anaerobic training
• Understand how manipulating the acute training variables of a periodized program can alter
bone, muscle, and connective tissue
• Explain the acute and chronic effects of anaerobic training on the endocrine system
• Elucidate the acute and chronic effects of anaerobic training on the cardiovascular system
• Recognize the causes, signs, symptoms, and effects of anaerobic overtraining and detraining
• Discuss how anaerobic training programs have the potential to enhance muscular strength,
muscular endurance, power, flexibility, and motor performance
