Stress Response to Training Flashcards
Define “stress”
a stimulus that disrupts an organism from homeostasis
Define “periodization”
deliberate and systematic programming for an athlete
What is the 3-phase response to stress as shown in the one-factor model?
alarm, resistance, exhaustion
Explain the stimulus-fatigue-recovery-adaptation theory (SFRAT)
suggests that fatigue accumulates in proportion to the strength and duration of a stimulus, and then after rest, fatigue is dissipated and supercompensation occurs
What are some of the factors that influence the stress response?
genetics (influence 50% of response to training stress), prior experiences, planned stress
What are the components of a periodized schedule?
multi-year preparations (years), macrocycle (months), mesocycle (weeks), microcycle (days), workout (h/min)
What is the load-recovery interaction?
1) fatigue - acute decrease in capability
2) recovery
3) supercompensation
4) decrease to pre-load levels
What did George Box say about models of periodization?
“All models are wrong, some are useful. The problem is to determine how wrong the model is before it is no longer useful.”
How is annual training planned?
figure out important dates and work backwards - identify specific performance correlates, specific to general (how can general support specific), prioritize, organize, and arrange qualities
ORGANIZING - implementing - adjusting
What are some questions to consider when annual planning?
Which qualities are general and which are specific? Can they train during the competitive phase, or should it be reserved for maintenance? Does the schedule allow for the appropriate response to stress, fatigue, and adaptation?
What is the difference between a tangible or intangible adaptation?
tangible = higher training load (higher intensity and/or volume) = higher fatigue
intangible = skilled based or minimal dose = lower fatigue
want positive interaction between training sessions (fitness-fatigue management)
What is micro-dosing?
exposures within a high stress time to maintain training or reduce the de-training that’s occurring
How long does RTE last for different motor abilities?
aerobic endurance - 30 (± 5) days
maximal strength - 30 (± 5) days
anaerobic glycolytic endurance 18 (± 4) days
strength endurance - 15 (± 5) days
maximal speed (alactic) - 5 (± 3) days
What is Kiely’s view on periodization?
confronting an inconvenient truth - recognize the limitations associated with the founding models of stress response as applied to strength and conditioning practice
What are 3 realms that impact training?
biological - training response, age, gender
social - stress, nutrition, sleep
psychological - competence-based self-esteem
