Understanding Training Adaptation
The process of training adaptation involves the body making changes in response to exposure to certain environments or stressors. Adaptation can be positive or negative, depending on the stimulus. Training is designed to elicit fatigue, which signifies a decrease in performance of body systems. To induce positive training reactions, the training stimulus must exceed the threshold fatigue, encouraging the body to adapt and recover.
