Episode notes
Reassess To Track Patterned Adaptation
- Follow-up Functional Range Assessments (FRA) reveal how sport-specific training reshapes joint capacities over time.
- Training a pattern improves certain ranges while unused ranges decline, so reassess to monitor adaptive shifts.
Don't Train Like A Pro If You're A Hobbyist
- Program hobbyists differently than pro athletes; avoid copying elite athletes' routines without context.
- Prioritize global movement capacities over sport-specific patterning for general population longevity.
Skill Gains Reduce Training Stimulus
- Getting better at a skill reduces training stimulus because efficiency lowers energy cost of the task.
- Training aims to preserve adaptation pressure, not to make the exercise easier over time.
