3.1 notes

Performance Enhancement

Focus on improving the musculoskeletal system through various substances and training methods.

Permitted Substances

Training and nutritional supplements allowed for performance enhancement.

Prohibited Substances

Anabolic steroids and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) are banned in sports.

Resistance Training

Muscle contraction against resistance aimed at increasing muscle size, mass, and bone density.

Plyometric Training

Training that increases muscular power through explosive activities utilizing the stretch-shortening cycle.

Flexibility Training

Enhancement of joint and muscle range of motion, reducing injury risk.

Interval Training

Training method involving alternating periods of work and rest, focusing on different energy systems.

Aerobic Training

Exercise aimed at improving muscular endurance, oxygen delivery, and energy production.

Static Stretching

A technique in flexibility training involving holding a stretch for a period.

Dynamic Stretching

Active movements that stretch muscles to improve flexibility and range of motion.

PNF Stretching

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation; a stretching technique enhancing range of motion through contraction and relaxation.

Muscular Adaptations

Changes in muscle physiology based on specific training characteristics, such as strength or endurance.

Overtraining Risks

Potential for performance decline, muscle soreness, and injuries due to insufficient recovery.

Aerobic Endurance

The ability of the body to perform prolonged, moderate-intensity exercise through improved oxygen delivery.
