Joygiga’s Energy Systems: Qualitative Trends in Sport-Specific Flow
Most athletes have heard about aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, but applying that knowledge to a specific sport often feels like guesswork. Coaches rely on heart rate zones or power thresholds, yet the real world of competition doesn't follow neat curves. This guide shifts the focus from numbers to qualitative trends—the patterns you can observe, feel, and adjust without a lab. We'll explore how different sports demand unique energy system blends, how to recognize when your system is in or out of flow, and what to do about it. This is for anyone who coaches or competes and wants to move beyond generic zone training. Who Needs This and What Goes Wrong Without It If you've ever felt like your training doesn't translate to competition, or you hit a wall in the middle of a match with no warning, you're the audience for this approach.
