    Study Notes

    Physical Development Key Concept

    • The key concept underpinning physical development is homeostasis, the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions despite external changes.

    General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)

    • The Resistance stage of the GAS involves the body's defenses being mobilized to cope with a stressor.
    • The immediate response of the body to stress according to the GAS is the Alarm stage.
    • The Exhaustion stage of the GAS involves the body attempting to return to homeostasis.

    Training Principles

    • The Fitness-Fatigue Model aims to explain the paradoxical relationship between fitness and fatigue, where an increase in fitness can lead to an increase in fatigue.
    • The Overload principle suggests that in order for an adaptation to occur, the training stimulus must be above normal levels.
    • The Reversibility principle states that positive adaptations will be lost if the minimum training volume is not maintained.

    Training Outcomes

    • The Adaptation stage of the GAS involves the adaptation to stress and development of new performance levels.
    • The result of the dynamic between fitness and fatigue as described in the Fitness-Fatigue Model is a temporary increase in fitness followed by a decrease in fatigue.
