25
what does the alarm phase accumulate?
there is accumulation of fatigue, soreness, stiffness, or reduction in energetic stores.
26
how long does the alarm phase last
several hours, days, or weeks depending on the magnitude of the encountered stress.
27
in which phase of GAS would you be after lifting a heavier resistance-training load
alarm
28
what is the resistance phase
The body adapts to the stimulus & returns to a normal functional capacity. The body is able to demonstrate its ability to withstand the stress, an attribute that may continue for an extended period, depending on the health & training status of the athlete
29
what happen if the training stress is appropriately structured and not excessive in resistance phase?
adaptive responses occurring during this phase can further elevate an athlete’s performance capacity, resulting in what is termed supercompensation.
30
resistance phase is sometimes called
supercompensation phase (not the same as supercompensation cycle)
31
what is exhaustion phase
is reached if the stress persists for an extended period of time. is characterized by an inability to adapt to the imposed stressors. - same symptoms as seen in the alarm phase
32
what could also lead to the exhaustion phase?
Non-training-related stress can contribute to the overall stress level & lead to this phase.
33
how can exhaustion phase can occurs
- reached by athletes when they are most likely experiencing overreaching or overtraining responses - can occur due to monotonous training, overly varied training, & overtraining Non-training-related stress can contribute to the overall stress level & lead to this phase
34
explain the GAS diagram
35
which theory is a extension of GAS
stimulus-fatigue-recovery adaptation theory
36
what does SFRA suggest
suggests that training stimuli produce a general response that is influenced by the overall magnitude of the training stressor.
37
what is also referred as the supercompensation cycle?
stimulus-fatifue-recovery adaptation theory
38
what is supercompensation
is an adaptation to an appropriate stimulus. is the direct transposition of the GAS into the theory & methodology of training & deals with the association between training load & regeneration as the biological basis for physical arousal
39
potential supercompensation
1. Increases in energy systems 2. Hypertrophy 3. Neuromuscular adaptations 4. Hormonal alterations
40
what is the 1st phase of SFRA theory
fatigue
41
in the fatigue phase in SFRA the (greater/lesser) the overall magnitude of the workload encountered, the ____ fatigue accumulates
greater, more
42
what is the 2nd phase of SFRA
recovery
43
what is the compensation phase of the SFRA
recovery
44
What is required in the recovery phase?
- Homeostasis must be restored. - The more fatigue accumulates, the longer delay before complete recovery. - It is not always necessary to reach a state of complete recovery before engaging in a new training bout or session.
45
3rd phase of SFRA + what does it contain?
"adaptation" new higher level of homeostasis The more fatigue accumulates, the longer the delay before adaptation can occur. (48-72 hours is safe for recovery)
46
which phase of SFRA is the supercompensation phase
3rd, adaptation
47
what is involution + extra notes from class?
involution means detraining. Supercompensation doesn’t happen right away. Involution means detraining*** if I am training athlete, but the frequency becomes important. Look at specific components of fitness. Make sure frequency is high enough. If not high enough: detraining happens. Normally not a problem: detraining if all principles are used correctly
48
training status vs diet vs muscle glycogen level
untrained: balanced, 80 trained: ~125 trained and tapering: CHO loading, 175-200
49
what is restoration
is a process of returning to normal or elevated functional capacity after training-induced fatigue - is related to the need for rest & recovery over a training cycle.
50
How is restoration achieved with resistive exercises?
For resistance training this is achieved with: Decreased frequency of lifting, Lower volumes of exercise, Passive or active rest, Restoration techniques, sleep, massage, & hydrotherapy.
51
how does restoration occurs for resistance training
Decreased frequency of lifting, Lower volumes of exercise, Passive or active rest, Restoration techniques
52
what can we say about glycogen concentration for rested vs untrained athlete?
glycogen higher in athletes who rested in the days prior to the game were able to cover a greater distance than those who trained hard in the prior days.
53
what is peaking
is the attempt to achieve maximum performance at a specific time, usually a major competition.
54
what is peaking related to?
is related to a composite aggregation of all conditioning stimuli & sports practice that result in optimal or record performance in the athlete’s sport at a specific point in time.
55
what need to be considered if we want peaking to occur
Frequency, timing, & duration of peaking
56
in the "Fitness-Fatigue Paradigm" high training load result in what?
both elevated fatigue & fitness levels, & a reduction in preparedness.
57
low training load result in "fitness fatigue paradigm"?
in minimal fitness & fatigue, & a low level of preparedness
58
what dissipate faster between fatigue or fitness
fatigue dissipate faster than fitness
59
which one between fatigue or fitness allows for elevated preparedness with use of appropriate training strategies
fatigue
60
what is the sequencing of training load in the "Fatigue-Fitness" paradigm?
The sequencing of training loads becomes important in that it allows for training workloads to be varied in a systematic manner.
61
slide 29- "fitness fatigue paradigm"
62
what is involution in the "fatigue-fitness" paradigm?
detraining, where If no new training stimulus is introduced, a state of involution or detraining occurs.: reduced overall capacity , below current baseline. (which we see at the end of the curve on graph) vs if there is a new training stimulus ( training exercise, session, day or cycle within periodized plan), then the cycle would repeat.
63
is complete recovery necessary?
no, manipulation of workloads and training intensities through use of light and heavy sessions or days of training can be used to modulate fatigue and recovery while allowing for fitness to be increased or maintained.
64
preparedness is optimized how
as fatigue dissipate at a faster rate than fitness but still need appropriate training strategies are used to retain fitness while reducing fatigue.
65
what is the overtraining syndrome?
-Overtraining -Unexplained underperformance syndrome (UPS) - Burnout - Staleness - Chronic fatigue - Chronic fatigue syndrome
66
what is the overtraining syndrome? (too much volume or too much intensity)
- is a chronic syndrome. - is a long-term, chronic decrease in performance capabilities. - is a plateau or decrease in performance resulting from an inability to tolerate or adapt to a training load.
67
what is overtraining
1. is an excessive frequency, volume, and/or intensity of training without sufficient rest, recovery, & nutrient intake that results in conditions of extreme fatigue, illness, &/or injury. 2. is an accumulation of training stress that can result in long-term decrements in performance with or without associated physiological & psychological signs & symptoms of maladaptation.
68
what is overreaching
An increase in the training stimuli to create a decrease in performance that is followed by a supercompensation response or a rebound with an increase in performance at some point in the future after the OR phase has been completed.
69
what happens after OR phase?
the athlete return to his or her normal training after OR phase while awaiting the improvement in performance.
70
what is the overtraining continuum?
training overload-> acute fatigue (days) -> Functional overreaching (FOR): days to weeks-> Nonfunctional overreaching (FOR): weeks to months -> Overtraining syndrome: months or more
71
what is overreaching or FOR

72
what is nonfunctional overreaching
A state of extreme overreaching that an athlete can evolve into when the intensification of a training stimulus continues without adequate recovery & regeneration.
73
what is OTS
involves a prolonged maladaptation. Sympathetic OTS – at rest. Parasympathetic OTS – at rest & with exercise.

89
Describe what the periodization periods are
Periodized training plans systematically shift training foci from – general nonspecific activities of high volume & low intensity toward sport-specific activities of lower volume & higher intensities over a period of many weeks or months to help reduce the potential for overtraining while optimizing performance capacities.
90

preparatory period is subdivided in
general preparatory and specific
99
what is done in general preparatory phase
Typically, occurs early. Often targets development of a general physical base. High training volumes, low training intensities. Larger variety of training means structured to develop general motor abilities & skills.
100
what happen during specific preparatory phase
Expands the athlete’s training base. Increased emphasis on sport-specific training activities that prepare the athlete for the competitive perio
101
what are the 2 resistance training phase that can be created in the preparatory period?
hypertrophic phase (also referred as the strength Endurance phase; hypertrophy and strength endurance phase are not identical) and basic strength phase
102
Describe the hypertrophy/strength endurance phase
prep phase: general training intensity: low to moderate training volume: High Sport specific: NO Primary objectives: (1) Increase lean body mass, (2) Develop an endurance (muscular & metabolic) base, or 1 and 2.
103
Describe the basic strength phase
prep phase: specific Training intensity: High Training volume: low sport specific: YES Primary goal: Increase strength of the muscles that are essential to the primary sport movements.
104
which phase is a link between the Preparatory & Competitive periods.
1st transition period
105
resistance training in 1st transition period focus on
développement of strength and power
106
central objectif of 1st transition period
Shift the training focus toward the elevation of strength & its translation into power development
107
what need to be done during the last week of 1st transition period
Reduced volume, intensity, or both to achieve recovery before the beginning of the competition period.
108
what is the main phase within the 1st transition period
strength/power phase
109
resistance training program during 1st transition period involve
-Involves the performance of power explosive exercises at low to very high loads with low volumes. Load assignments for power exercises do not follow the typical %RM-repetition relationship, but their relative intensities are elevated during this phase. Exercises selected in this phase can dictate the loading that is used. Mixed training (heavy- & low-load training) is warranted.
110
how can we prepare an athlete during competitive period
further increasing strength & power via additional increases in training intensity while decreasing volume.
111
how can we achieve optimum performance
Balance between an adequate volume & intensity of exercise, and reductions in volume, intensity, or both
112
What increases vs. decreases during the period of competitive period?
time spent practicing sport-specific skills & tactics increases dramatically whereas time spent performing physical conditioning activities
113
what are the program type during competitive period
peaking program maintenance program
114
when do we use peaking program
for sports with competition periods lasting 1 or 2 weeks. sprinting.
115
when do we use maintenance program
for sports with competition periods lasting many months. team sports.
116
which period is Sometimes referred to as the active rest or restoration period and long does is last
"second transition period" (Active rest) Between the competitive period (season) & the next macrocycle’s preparatory period or next annual training plan. Sometimes referred to as the active rest or restoration period. -Generally, lasts 1 to 4 weeks. Recommendation: 4-week maximum, unless injured. - Focuses on unstructured, non-sport-specific recreational activities performed at low intensities with low volumes. - May not involve resistance training. - Allows for injury rehabilitation & physical & mental rest.
117
what is the secondary use of the active rest concept
is the practice of inserting a 1-week break between phases or periods, which is called an unloading week
118
purpose of unloading week
Prepare the body for the increased demand for the next phase. Many S & C professionals believe that significantly reducing the volume & load assignments will make the athlete less susceptible to overtraining symptoms.
119
