|
Acute overload
|
an "average" training load, whereby the athlete is stressing the body to the extent necessary to improve both physiological function and performance
|
|
|
Chronic fatigue syndrome
|
A syndrome that appears to involve immune system dysfunction
-Patients have incapacitating fatigue, sore throat, muscle tenderness or pain, and cognitive dysfunction; the symptoms may vary u severity over time by generally last for months or years |
|
|
Detraining
|
Changes in physiological function in response to a reduction or cessation of regular physical training
|
|
|
Excessive Training
|
Training in which volume, intensity, or both are too great or are increased too quickly without proper progression
|
|
|
Fibromyalgia syndrome
|
A chronic syndrome that includes muscle pain as its dominate symptom but is also characterized by muscle weakness, migraine type headaches, and depression
|

Immune Function
|
The body's normal ability to fight infection and illness with antibodies and lymphocytes
|

A systematic attempt to intentionally overstress the body, allowing the body to adapt even more to the training stimulus above and beyond the adaptation attained during a period of acute overload
|
|
|
Overtraining
|
The attempt to do more work than can be physically tolerated
|
|
|
Overtraining syndrome
|
A condition brought on by overtraining and characterized by performance decrements and a general breakdown in physiological function
|
|
|
Rhabdomyolysis
|
Breakdown of muscle fibers resulting in protein buildup in the blood and often in urine
|
|
|
Tapering
|
A reduction in training intensity prior to a major competition to give the body and mind a break from the rigors of intense training
|
|
|
Taper Period
|
A period during which training intensity is reduced, allowing time for tissue damage from intense training to heal and for the body's energy reserves to be fully replenished
|
|
|
Undertraining
|
The type of training an athlete would undertake between competitive seasons or during active rest
-Generally, physiological adaptations will be minor, and there will be no improvement in performance |
