The results show NO negative performance effect from ANY of the reduced programs.
Groups 2 and 3 actually improved.
Training Group 3 showed the most improvement. Other testing showed that Training
Group 3 also experienced increased levels of muscle glycogen in the leg muscles and
haemoglobin in the blood.
Each athlete in this study has to prepare for an endurance race every 3 months. Use the
information provided to explain how a year-long training program can be structured so
these athletes can optimize:
Performance (in each race)
Motivation (for training and each race)
Arousal and Anxiety (for each race)
