Acute Response › Heart rate › Respiratory rate › Blood pressure › Body temperature Chronic Adaptations › Increased VO2 max › Increased cardiac output › Decreased resting heart rate
Aerobic – when the body needs oxygen to exercise. Anaerobic – when the body does not need oxygen to exercise.
Increase in oxygen usage Decrease heart rate Decrease blood pressure Lengthens time before muscles become fatigued Raises the body’s energy levels
Increase in muscle, tendon and ligament strength Body’s speed, agility Decrease in blood pressure
Strength – refers to the amount of force a person can use during a short period of time Endurance – refers to the length in which a person’s muscles can last
Individuality Progression Overload Specificity Adaptation Recovery Reversibility
Individuality › Heredity affects how an individual adapts to training
Progressive- Gradual Increase Overload- Perform beyond normal level in order to adapt
Specificity- Working out what you want to achieve Adaptation- Body becomes accustomed to exercising at a give level (ex: change higher intensity/ longer duration) Recovery- Body needs time to repair itself
Reversibility/ Disuse “use it or lose it”
Periodization › The body likes variation › After specific exercises, intensity and volume in cycles can be varied over a year, month, weeks, etc.
Progressive Overload= › Body must be working harder than it is used to under usual circumstances to achieve adaptation/change. › As adaptation/ change occurs, overload must be progressed to continue to provide an adaptive stimulus.
Measurable & Achievable
Homework: Create a goal, plan your workout for an entire month using progressive overload & per iodization
