Progressive overload is a method of strength training and hypertrophy training that advocates for the gradual increase of the stress placed upon the musculoskeletal and nervous system. [1] The principle of progressive overload suggests that the continual increase in the total workload during training sessions will stimulate muscle growth and ...
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 ...
The history of cognitive load theory can be traced to the beginning of cognitive science in the 1950s and the work of G.A. Miller.In his classic paper, [9] Miller was perhaps the first to suggest our working memory capacity has inherent limits.
The Principles of Psychology was a vastly influential textbook which summarized the field of psychology through the time of its publication. Psychology was beginning to gain popularity and acclaim in the United States at this time, and the compilation of this textbook only further solidified psychology's credibility as a science.
Information overload is "a gap between the volume of information and the tools we have to assimilate" it. [19] Information used in decision-making is to reduce or eliminate the uncertainty. [ 20 ] Excessive information affects problem processing and tasking, which affects decision-making. [ 21 ]
There needs to be some time with no obligations or responsibilities, said Dr. Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director of the Greater Good Science Center — a research institute that studies the ...
Henneman’s size principle describes relationships between properties of motor neurons and the muscle fibers they innervate and thus control, which together are called motor units. Motor neurons with large cell bodies tend to innervate fast-twitch, high-force, less fatigue-resistant muscle fibers , whereas motor neurons with small cell bodies ...
Common coding theory is a cognitive psychology theory describing how perceptual representations (e.g. of things we can see and hear) and motor representations (e.g. of hand actions) are linked. The theory claims that there is a shared representation (a common code) for both perception and action.
