Document Summary
Space vs massed training (distributed vs crammed) Stress is the response; stressor is the event. There is a difference between fear and anxiety: ptsd, anxiety, phobia, ocd. Fear is now and anxiety is future (and to some extent, the past) Ruination everything will be or is ruined. Chewing (repeatedly chewing from cows) overthinking. Women tend to do it more than men. Two systems in the body deal with stress: autonomic nervous system (ans) -> parasympathetic [relax] and sympathetic [speed up, hypothalamic- pituitary adrenal axis (hpa axis) (slower responses) (fast responses) Homeostasis is a dynamic balance between the autonomic branches. You can activate these systems on your own. System: starts in brain (hypothalamus, actives sympathetic ans, releases epinephrine from the (adrenal) medulla (located in the adrenal glands, autonomic response heart rate, blood pressure, norepinephrine, epinephrine next to kidney) Autonomic response is fast so now you need hpa axis for recovery.
