  2. Progressive overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_overload

    The principle of progressive overload suggests that the continual increase in the total workload during training sessions will stimulate muscle growth and strength gain by muscle hypertrophy. [2] This improvement in overall performance will, in turn, allow an athlete to keep increasing the intensity of their training sessions.

  4. Vibronic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibronic_spectroscopy

    Energy level diagram illustrating the Franck–Condon principle. Transitions between v″ = 0 and v′ = 2 are favored. For absorption spectra, the vibrational coarse structure for a given electronic transition forms a single progression, or series of transitions with a common level, here the lower level v″ = 0. [6]

  5. Sports periodization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_periodization

    The roots of periodization come from Hans Selye's model, known as the General adaptation syndrome (GAS). The GAS describes three basic stages of response to stress: (a) the Alarm stage, involving the initial shock of the stimulus on the system, (b) the Resistance stage, involving the adaptation to the stimulus by the system, and (c) the Exhaustion stage, in that repairs are inadequate, and a ...

  6. Orthogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogenesis

    Evolutionary progress as a tree of life. Ernst Haeckel, 1866 Lamarck's two-factor theory involves 1) a complexifying force that drives animal body plans towards higher levels (orthogenesis) creating a ladder of phyla, and 2) an adaptive force that causes animals with a given body plan to adapt to circumstances (use and disuse, inheritance of acquired characteristics), creating a diversity of ...

  7. Moore's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law

    The great Moore's law compensator (TGMLC), also known as Wirth's law – generally is referred to as software bloat and is the principle that successive generations of computer software increase in size and complexity, thereby offsetting the performance gains predicted by Moore's law.

  8. Franck–Condon principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franck–Condon_principle

    The Franck–Condon principle is a statement on allowed vibrational transitions between two different electronic states; other quantum mechanical selection rules may lower the probability of a transition or prohibit it altogether. Rotational selection rules have been neglected in the above derivation.

  9. Motivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation

    Two key principles of Maslow's theory are the progression principle and the deficit principle. They state that lower needs have to be fulfilled before higher needs become activated. This means that higher needs, like esteem and self-actualization, are unable to provide full motivation while lower needs, like food and shelter, remain unfulfilled.
