Document Summary

Training principles: overload, specificity, individual differences, reversibility. Specificity principle: adaptations depend on the type of overload, types of overload can include, exercise specific, muscle specific, test specific. If you"re a trained swimmer, you will do well in swimming (training muscle specific) Reversibility principle: physiologic/ performance adaptations rapidly lost if exercise is discontinued, rate of loss (days, weeks, months) depends on parameter. Image: generalized changes that occur in a certain number of days of detraining up to 3 months: a lot of these parameters changing quite rapidly, ex. Vo2max: reduction of 20% in 3 months: complete elimination of gains in 3 months, they don"t all decline at the same rate, ex. Sv: lost very rapidly in 2 weeks significant in terms of co and. Vo2max: a-vo2 diff (how well you extract o2 from blood at tissue level) declines at a different rate.
