biochemist, established general adaptation syndrome

Question 13

Exercise or sport is a form of________

Answer 13

Stress

Question 14

Stress defined

Answer 14

Any condition that disrupts homeostasis represents a stress

Question 15

What is eustress?

Answer 15

positive or healthy form of stress. causes adaptation (training effect)

Question 16

What is distress?

Answer 16

negative form of stress. causes damage, injury or maladaptation.

Question 17

Eustress vs distress?

Answer 17

Both types of stress can be present. both types of stress can have equal magnitude.

Question 18

What is general adaptation syndrome?

Answer 18

biological model characterizing the bodies response to stress.

Question 19

The stress adaptation syndrome explains why exercise influences _______

Answer 19

everything (all body systems)

Question 20

What are the three phases of the stress adaptation syndrome?

Answer 20

Alarm phase, resistance phase, exhaustion phase

Question 21

What is the alarm phase?

Answer 21

period of initial reaction to stress

Question 22

What is the resistance phase?

Answer 22

period when the body adapts to a “eustress”

Question 23

What is the exhaustion phase?

Answer 23

period when body maladapts to a “distress”

Question 24

How does exercise lead to a training effect?

Answer 24

Exercise produces a metabolic stress; a eustress that leads to resistance phase; adaptation leads to training effect

Question 25

What are the factors affecting adaptive response?

Answer 25

Rest, nutrition, therapy increasing. Drugs, alcohol, injury, travel and psychological stress decreasing.

Question 26

Genetics ______ play a role in stress adaptation syndrome.

Answer 26

do. there are high, regular and low responders

Question 27

Can exercise be replaced by a pill?

Answer 27

If so, it would need to replicate the stress adaptation syndrome

Question 28

What is overtraining?

Answer 28

When distress is greater than eustress over a long period of time. due to too much training relative to athletes ability to adapt.
