Document Summary

Benefit gained in systems other than vo2max, strength and power (skill, efficiency) from increased frequency and duration of training may assist elite athletes o o. 10,000 doing an activity you are elite* neuromuscular adaptation as well. Specificity- the more sport specific the training the better: the way the muscle adapts- specific to the movement, load, speed (velocity of shortening) o, not only changes in strength but also aerobic adaptation. Performance is dictated by how specific training is. Overload- improvement will not occur unless physiological systems are continuously overloaded. % of your vo2 max because your vo2 max has increased as well. Increase in vo2max dissipate heat adapts with it) Get increased sweat rate per degree increase in temperature. As temp continues to increase sweat rate increases (convective cooling evaporation) Acclimatization (hotter) reduced increase in temperature will stimulate the same sweat response you will start to sweat earlier.
