Document Summary
Training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts to the current stimulus. Only way to continue to improve with training: progressively increase training stimulus. Excessive training progressive overload is taken too fat body is pushed beyond ability to adapt. No additional improvement in conditioning or performance. V or intensity of training is too low hindered physiological changes optimal performance is not achieved. Training between competitive seasons or during active rest. Average training load athlete stresses body to an extent. Brief period of heavy overload without adequate recovery intentionally overstresses body for a short period of training. Exceeds athlete"s adaptive capacity allows body to adapt to increased training stimulus. Brief performance decrement (days-to-week) improvements in performance. Critical phase of training: may either lead to improvements or overtraining if athlete goes too far. Key: push athlete hard enough to accomplish desire (+) physiological & performance improvements but to avoid entering stage of overtraining.
