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.
