Training Principles

The aim of physical training principles is to facilitate and improve performance in specific physical tasks by stimulating structural and physiological adaptations in the body. The best approach to stimulate adaptations is to perform tailored exercises (prescribed using FITT parameters), governed by a set of training principles that activate specific energy supply systems. The key principles of training (1) to consider when planning/designing an exercise … Continue reading Training Principles

Training Adaptations

Physiologic Training adaptations obtained by demanding physical tasks can also be obtained through tailored physical activity or exercise. When the human body engages in a physical task, a series of changes happen in the physiologic systems to complete the task at hand. When the physical task is of a demanding nature beyond usual for a sustained period of time, the body’s physiologic systems undergo adaptations … Continue reading Training Adaptations

Overload Principle: Training with Purpose

Authored by Nate Martins Original article from HVMN. Overload principle states that in order for the muscle to increase in size, strength and endurance, it must be regularly challenged to produce an output that is as near as possible to maximum capacity. The technique pushes the body past its limits, further breaking it down to force adaptations that lead to performance gains. Skeletal muscle is composed … Continue reading Overload Principle: Training with Purpose

The Deadlift exercise: Understanding Biomechanics, different types, & how to implement it in people with low back pain

Introduction The deadlift is a multi-joint resistance exercise that can be done in a number of training environments. The lifter must grab a barbell at mid-shank level in a squat stance and extend the lower back, hip, knee, and ankle joints to elevate the weight. Any activity that requires strong knee, hip, and trunk extensors could benefit from including the deadlift in the training regimen. … Continue reading The Deadlift exercise: Understanding Biomechanics, different types, & how to implement it in people with low back pain

Muscular Adaptations

Adaptations will happen in the muscular system if the exercise training emphasises the overload of the muscles aiming to result in hypertrophy and increase in strength. How does the muscular adaptation happen? I have presented the information in a sequence to help understand how muscular adaptation happens. First, the muscle fibres are classified into two types in the human body –  Type I (slow twitch) and … Continue reading Muscular Adaptations
