What is training
The vehicle by which we make our bodies more efficient

Six basic training principles
Overload Progression Specificity Individual differences Reversibility Diminishing returns
Overload principle
In order for physiological change to take place, the human body must be subjected to greater stresses than the ones to which I️t is accustomed to
Progression principle
After an athlete has had a chance to adapt to increased stresses, I️t will take further increased overload to find future physiological gains
Specificity principle
In order for specific outcomes to occur, training exercises must be specific to those outcomes ex upper body training
Individual differences principle
Every athlete has a different physical (gender/age/genetics/athletic precondition) and physiological makeup
Reversibility principle
Use I️t or lose I️t, when the body has undergone physiological benefit from training, if the training is removed, the benefit will subside
Diminishing returns principle
An athlete who has no or little training will experience the largest physiological change from training
Experienced athlete often discovers frustrating plateaus when seeking physiological gains
Macronutrients
Proteins carbohydrates and fats
Micronutrients
Vitamins minerals and water
Health and wellness compass components
Physical Mental Spiritual Environmental Emotional Social
Carbohydrates
Or glucose
50-60% of diet
Most accessible (complex (pasta) or simple (candy)
Proteins
Energy nutrient
Complete (animal products) or incomplete (plant products)
15-20% of diet
Fats
Most concentrated energy
Saturated (animals products=bad) or unsaturated (plant products= good)
15-20% of diet
Essential for organ protections insulation etc.
Vitamins
Not a source of energy, essential for metabolism and growth, etc.
Fat soluble -ADEK
water soluble- BC
