the biological theory of physical preparationThe Human Body
» The human body is nothing more than an interdependent matrix system that communicates with and amongst itself all day long through electronically charged molecules – you are an ever evolving and fluctuating organism that is self-regulating and supercompensating – you are nothing more than a bio-electrical field that is hell bent on one function – SURVIVAL!

the biological theory of physical preparationAdaptation
» General Adaptation Syndrome
With exercise, low to medium magnitude workouts, will lead to supercompensation of various substrates, which in turn delivers an increase in performance.
the biological theory of physical preparationAdaptation
» Is a phenomenon of accommodation
› Characterizes the organism’s entire reaction
› Reflects the specific features of the external influences
the biological theory of physical preparationAdaptation
» It is the active maintenance of a definite level of disequilibrium between the organism and the environment
› The fundamental reason for the origin and development of accommodative reconstruction within the organism
the biological theory of physical preparationAdaptation
» Training affects 7 different biological systems › Cardiac › Cardiopulmonary › Hormonal › Detoxification › Metabolic › CNS › Neuromuscular
the biological theory of physical preparationAdaptation
» Heterochronicity of biological systems
» All these systems DO NOT adapt at the same time
» Adaptation is NOT an equilibrium process
the biological theory of physical preparationAdaptation
Similar adaptations between high/elite level athletes regardless of sporting discipline
» Increased size of adrenal and endocrine glands » Higher presence of steroid hormones » Hypertrophy of immune cells » Increased oxidative capacity of FT and ST fibers » Sport-specific cardiac hypertrophy » Skeletal, myocardium and diaphragm hypertrophy » High parasympathetic dominance

MethodologyThe High-Low Programming Model
» Originated by Charlie Francis
» Coached high-level sprinters and hurdlers
» The high-low model is easily adaptable to all sports
» Separation of high intensity and low intensity CNS stressors
MethodologyThe High-Low Programming Model
» High CNS (95-100%): Alactic Power and Capacity
› Anti-Circulatory and Sympathetic Dominant
› Creates pressure against circulatory system
› Increases neural demand and speed reserves
› To expand alactic envelope you must train in an alactic environment/zone
MethodologyThe High-Low Programming Model
» High CNS (95-100%): Alactic Power and Capacity
› Enhances muscle fiber recruitment
› 95% is Sub-Maximal and 100% is Maximal
› Requires 48-72 hours recovery between sessions
› Finite/limited capacity for the body to handle high intense work
MethodologyThe High-Low Programming Model
» Low CNS (75% or less): Aerobic Power and Capacity
› Pro Circulatory, which helps reset the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)
› Keeps motor neurons hot, which lowers electrical resistance and increases motor unit activation (therefore motor neurons take on characteristics of white fiber)
› Prolong heat generated from active/dynamic warm-up
MethodologyThe High-Low Programming Model
» Low CNS (75% or less): Aerobic Power and Capacity
› Increases capillary density, which slows blood flow down allowing for blood to stay in contact with tissue longer, this increases nutrient transfer and waste product removal (flush out the system)
› Requires 12-24 hours of recovery between sessions
› Secures high adaptation

ProgrammingFinal Thoughts
» Training is a long term process – there are no quick fixes » Training does NOT happen linearly » Training is NOT black and white, it is very gray and fuzzy » Training seeks results, science seeks answers » Nothing works forever » To adapt is not to adapt » Have no way as way, and no limit as limit » Retain what is useful, disregard what is useless
ProgrammingFinal Thoughts – Continued
» Correct one thing at a time, 85% success rate » Two things at one time, 35% success rate » Three things at one time, BEST OF LUCK!!! » When discussing successful training programs, there is no right or wrong way » If you get bored reading it, just think of how your athletes will feel doing it » If you get tired writing it, just think of how the body will reside doing it
