Respiratory adaptation is the specific change that the respiratory system undergoes in response to the demands of physical exertion. Intense physical exertion, such as that involved in fitness training, places elevated demands on the respiratory system. Over time, this results in respiratory changes as the system adapts to these requirements. [1]
Cyclists may be trained and assessed by exercise physiologists to optimize performance. [1] Exercise physiology is the physiology of physical exercise. It is one of the allied health professions, and involves the study of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise. Exercise physiologists are the highest qualified exercise ...
Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
Summary of long-term adaptations to regular aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise can cause several central cardiovascular adaptations, including an increase in stroke volume (SV) [5] and maximal aerobic capacity (VO 2 max), [5] [6] as well as a decrease in resting heart rate (RHR).
Summary of long-term adaptations to regular aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise can cause several central cardiovascular adaptations, including an increase in stroke volume (SV) [100] and maximal aerobic capacity (VO 2 max), [100] [101] as well as a decrease in resting heart rate (RHR).
Supercompensation describes the adaptation of muscles on a previous stimulus over time. [3] Long-term endurance training induces many physiological adaptations both centrally and peripherally mediated. [4] Central cardiovascular adaptations include decreased heart rate, increased stroke volume of the heart, increased cardiac output. [4]
Neural adaptation or sensory adaptation is a gradual decrease over time in the responsiveness of the sensory system to a constant stimulus. It is usually experienced as a change in the stimulus. For example, if a hand is rested on a table, the table's surface is immediately felt against the skin.
The adaptation of the load is called supercompensation. Initial fitness, training, recovery, and supercompensation. First put forth by Russian scientist Nikolai N. Yakovlev in 1949–1959, [2] this theory is a basic principle of athletic training.
