Week 10: Overtraining Flashcards
What are the two types of over-training?
Functional
Non-functional
What are the features of acute fatigue?
High perceived fatigue
No performance decrement after 24-36 hr rest period
Performance supercompensation
What are the features of functional overreaching?
Very high perceived fatigue
Short term performance decrement
Performance restoration takes from several day to several weeks
Performance supercompensation
What are the features of non functional overreaching?
Very intense perceived fatigue
Short term decrement in performance capacity
What are the features of overtraining syndrome?
Very intense perceived fatigue Long-term performance decrement >month Decreased performance (no supercompensation)
What is overreaching?
An accumulation of training and non-training stressors that result in short-term decrement in performance taking from days to several weeks to recover
What is overtraining?
An accumulation of
training and non-training stressors that has a detrimental long-term effect on performance and
a recovery period that may take several weeks to months
What is the testosterone/cortisol ratio used to monitor?
Training stress
What happens if the testosterone/cortisol ratio decreases 30%?
Recovery is insufficient
What is the risk of infection for sedentary, moderate and high training volume?
Moderate
Low
High
āJā shaped curve
Why does high training volume lead to high risk of infection?
Increased air flow during exercise = more exposure
More lymphocyte apoptosis
Increased cortisol
Reduced natural killer cell activity
What are examples of parasympathetic activities?
Rest and digest
What are examples of sympathetic activities?
Fight or flight
What effect would the sympathetic nervous system have on HR?
Would increase it
What effect would the parasympathetic nervous system have on HR?
Would decrease it
