Document Summary

Direct factors & supporting factors = contribute to training system. Administration + economic concentration & professional & living style. Ex: olympic teams country with lot of money can influence training system. Adaptation process = give training stimulus & then adapt. *need adaptation to occur before give another new training stimulus. Decline in performance because disturbed system then body compensate & adapt so. Can introduce new training stimulus & increase performance to further adapt. Overtraining syndrome= if constant stimulus w/out allowing adaptation time= decrease performance. Steady-state = if training not strong enough = no improvement because become accustomed to. Stimulus so no new challenge & no change from homeostasis = maintenance phase. Threshold of adaptation: sub-optimal training stimulus = under adaptation threshold. Body becomes used to stimulus & adapt: stimulus. *can be very fast - within minutes: decline, increase back since adapted, optimal training stimulus = above adaptation threshold.
