2.2.24. Beyond the Traditional “Stress” Model – Training Response

1. *Summary: The text discusses the body's response to stress, explaining how a moderate amount of stress can lead to a coherent response and increased resistance. It uses a graph to illustrate how different body systems are activated during a training response, showing a gradual improvement in health and energy resources. The text also mentions the body's adaptation to stimuli, leading to increased strength and overall well-being.*

she looked at the inhibition and excitation of the central nervous system and so on. So let's look at an example. When there is the amount of stress is moderate or actually small to moderate, the lower body responds in a very coherent manner. So what you see here on the left is this graph. So each of these axes shows how activated is particular aspect. So if something is within these brackets, this would be the norm. So in training response, you will see that all the systems in the body are activated and are more or less the same way. And in time, when we apply this mild to moderate stimulus, there is a gradual growth and of the body's resistance. Our body adapts, that's why you call training, it trains to this type of stimulus or disturbance. It becomes gradually stronger. It builds up energy resources. In other words, it becomes more healthy, gradually more healthy. You can also use the word becomes more slowly over time. Just to relate it back, yes. Yes. So you see the shift is kind of roundish, meaning all the systems are operating very
