EXERCISE Limits to PHYSIOLOGY Performance In EVOLUTION, • adaptation is the genetic What is the major (transgenerational) adjustment to objective of environment In PHYSIOLOGY, exercise training? • adaptation is the metabolic or physiologic adjustment within the cell or tissues of To stimulate structural an organism and functional • adaptation results in improved ability of adaptations to improve organism to cope with performance changing environment • Overload Principle Exercise Training • Specificity Principle Principles • Reversibility Principle • Individual Differences Principle McArdle et al. Chapter 21 (we’ll return to this later in the quarter…) • Regular application of a specific exercise overload enhances physiologic function to induce a training response • Exercising at intensities greater than normal stimulates specific adaptations so the body Overload functions more efficiently • Achieving appropriate overload requires Principle manipulating • training frequency • intensity • duration • Adaptations in metabolic and physiologic functions depend on intensity, duration, frequency, and mode of overload imposed • Strength-power training (short, specific intense overload) specific strength-power adaptations • Endurance training specific aerobic system Specificity adaptations Principle • Specificity is highly specific • Aerobic training that relies on specific muscles most effectively improves fitness for that activity (e.g., swimming, cycling, running, upper-body activities) • Training improvement may even peak at the time of day when training regularly occurred! • Reversibility = detraining = loss of physiologic and performance adaptations • 1–2 weeks of detraining reduces metabolic and exercise capacity • Within several months training improvements can be fully lost Reversibility • Ex. 1: 5 human research subjects confined to bed for 20 consecutive days Principle • VO2max decreased by 25% • Maximal stroke volume and cardiac power (“Use it or decreased Lose It”) • Maximal aerobic power decreased 1% per day • Ex. 2: # capillaries within trained muscle decreased 14–25% within 3 weeks immediately following training • Ex. 3: In elderly subjects, 4 months detraining negated endurance training adaptations on cardiovascular functions and body water distribution • Individuals do not all respond similarly to a given training stimulus • Initial values—individuals with lower fitness show Individual greatest training improvement • Genetic factors interact to impact the training Differences response—strenuous training enhances a person’s fitness regardless of genes, but limits for Principle developing fitness link closely to genetic endowment • Of 2 individuals doing same training, one might show 10x more improvement than the other What sets limits on athletic performance?
