day 1 - principles of physiological adaptation and/or physical training Flashcards
overload principle (def)
greater than normal stress that causes cellular adaptation and increased capacity
one session, ACUTE
progression principle (def)
continued increases in stress over time that cause additional adaptation and capacity
over time, CHRONIC
recuperation principle (def)
short-term period of reduced stress or no stress to allow for cellular recovery and adaptation
example(s) of the overload principle
walking more than normal in a day
lifting heavier weights
doing more repetitions
example(s) of the progression principle
increased frequency
increased intensity
increased duration
reversibility principle (def)
long-term period of reduced or no stress that causes a loss of adaptation and decreased capacity (ACL tear)
principles of physical adaptation (5)
1) overload
2) progression
3) recuperation
4) reversibility
5) specificity
specificity principle (def)
stress targeted to cause particular adaptions, often to meet a goal
physical activity (def)
some kind of movement
(any movement, ex. walking around campus)
exercise (def)
planned physical activity
(“I am going to go for a run”
athlete (def)
someone exercising with a goal in mind
