Motivational training adaptations -

Physiological adaptations are lost when training stops and are more complete when training involves various activities. Adaptations in response to training include: decreased resting heart rate, increased stroke volume and cardiac output, increased oxygen uptake, increased haemoglobin levels in the blood, muscular hypertrophy, and various other changes within the muscles themselves increased myoglobin, increased mitochondria, increased aerobic or anaerobic enzymes according to training specificity, increased lactate thresholds, and much more.

Describe the effect of stroke volume and cardiac output on aerobic performance. Blood testing does have some merit, though many genetic investigations have replaced the popularity of evaluating blood biomarkers.

Genetics are very fixed rough summary, I know while biomarkers are dynamic and useful for detecting change. Simple trade-offs exist, though. A high circulating level of IGF-1 may be great for muscle growth but not ideal for tumors and other possible disease-related problems.

While seeing effects from fasting and overfeeding is a reach, some athletes have found that they can accelerate muscle growth and fat loss better by managing hormones than addressing their caloric balance.

We need to move beyond fat-free mass and observe power changes and strength adaptations relating to diet. Bodybuilding is about growth and dieting for contests. Athletes need more research on recovery rates and output. Nothing excites a movement coach more than the idea of brain fertilizer, and I shared a cool chart in my motor learning article a year or two ago.

Brain derived neurotrophic factor BDNF falls into the gray area of research with a lot of conflicting studies. I first talked about BDNF in because it looked like an area of exercise we could do more with.

Exercise is not only important for cognition but also affects dopamine as well as endorphin responses. Higher centers of the body are very involved in training adaptations, not just muscle fibers and tendons.

For every local adaptation, think about the array of changes happening upstairs. I do know that the Brazilian study on BDNF levels in sprinters was a great starting point, but we need to do more work in learning how real benefits show up in training and also tapering. Can I shoot more accurately in soccer and basketball?

Can NFL teams make fewer errors and penalties during games when peaked correctly? Can I sprint faster with the right program and BDNF management? Do circulating levels determine success or is this a chicken and egg thing? We have a long way to go here. I do know that we should rethink cool-downs since light aerobic exercise during or after training can help with motor skill acquisition.

Enough information exists on mitochondria to get dangerous in my earlier post on monitoring it, and I mention it here because I talked too much about invisible adaptations in that article.

Most of the workouts listed in resistance training research are geared more to fitness and wellness than sports, so we have work to do regarding different training methods for sports and adaptations to the mitochondria.

Ribosomes are less talked about in the inner circles. I see the connection, but there are questions about the relationship between training and recovery and how mitochondria and ribosomes change.

Fascicle lengthening in hamstring muscles is a popular subject, but what about other muscle groups outside the biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus? Length is great, but other adaptations at the macro level, such as pennation angle and changes in tiny muscle thickness, could slow down an athlete or speed them up.

The rate of force development RFD potentially improves with some architectural changes, as mentioned, but what about changes at the microscopic level and testing the quality reliably outside of isometric testing?

A lot to think about. My weight training tempo article is a great resource on this subject, and I wish I had been clear earlier about including all types of training that interact with muscle architecture and not only strength training.

Research on the extracellular matrix and recovery is growing, but we still need to get true cause and effect explanations to write better workouts.

If you want to be an ambush predator in sport, focus on getting larger and more explosive. If you want to run down your prey, stay long and lean.

SimpliFaster interviewed both Dr. Wagle and Dr. Franchi , both great reads on muscle plasticity. His new edition should be available this year. If you want to bore a bunch of coaches in a bar after a conference, start talking about rate coding or synchronization changes in training.

The illustration is excellent in showing how a muscle can become wired better, not just stronger from getting bigger or changing shape. Rate coding is especially important in fast and forceful contractions because they are very fiber-specific when we account for high-velocity contractions.

Adaptations happen systemically, but each fiber has qualities that make it more or less plastic for speed or endurance. Synchronization and other neuromuscular adaptations matter in speed and power training.

A wise takeaway is that managing fatigue and having less technical interaction can improve the physiological outcomes because many nervous system adaptations are protection measures that coaches override in training.

Besides PAP or potentiation work , coaches are trying to tap into a reserve level of strength and speed that risks injury but is possible to exploit when released incrementally.

Cytokines and fatigue theories were popular topics in the early s when coaches worried about blunting adaptations from antioxidants as well as fears of central nervous system CNS fatigue caused by intense training. There is some excellent research on mental fatigue , but usually these studies do little to move the needle for speed and power athletes unless the researchers study teams using real training.

We know that lower inflammation levels are great for rest but are partially necessary for regeneration. The hype over the idea that inflammation is great for adaptation is completely oversimplified.

As a result, we lose gains in endurance and strength, as if we cut a fiber optic cable. Periodization for both training and intuition will shed more light on how to manage a season with more clarity.

All the talk about being natural or working with the wisdom of the body is foolish—training for sport means tricking the body on a daily basis. Still, the benefits of the opiate-like response and endorphin release are worth exploring for managing the aches and pains of training.

A long season is very taxing physically and mentally. I went from being a skeptic to a firm believer that the right circuit training makes a difference for athletes over a season and career.

My question is how much analgesic support comes from adaptation or is it just innate to our needs. As shown in Table 2 , and following Zhu criteria, positive low correlations were observed between perceptions of a task-involving climate and autonomous motivation, and between perceptions of an ego-involving climate and controlled motivation at both times.

Positive low correlations were also observed between task-involving climate and the perceived impact of functional anger, while an ego-involving climate was positively correlated with the intensity and perceived impact of dysfunctional anger.

Following recommendations by Little et al. Specifically, six parcels were created following the theoretical structure of motivational climate Newton et al.

The remaining items representing punishment for mistakes, unequal recognition, and intra-team member rivalry were assigned to the three parcels defined for ego-involving climate. In line with SDT Deci and Ryan, conceptualization and Ryan and Connell suggestion, four parcels were defined for autonomous motivation by calculating the sums of items representing intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, and identified regulation.

The remaining items representing introjected regulation and external regulation were allocated to four parcels for controlled motivation. Amotivation was excluded from the analysis because we were interested in the quality of motivation rather than the quantity of motivation. A total of 14 structural models were tested to examine the temporal ordering of motivation regulations and the intensity and perceived impact of emotions.

Specifically, four models were estimated including paths relating task-involving climate and autonomous motivation with the intensity of functional pleasant states, dysfunctional anxiety, functional anger, and dysfunctional anger separately Models 1—4.

Three other models included paths relating ego-involving climate and controlled motivation with the intensity of dysfunctional anxiety, functional anger, and dysfunctional anger Models 5—7.

Similarly, seven models were tested to examine the relationships with impact ratings of emotions Models 8— All models were saturated. In regards to emotion intensity, one additional path was included in the model from dysfunctional anger intensity to the latent difference score of ego-involving climate M7.

We also added a path going from functional anger impact ratings to the latent difference score of ego-involving climate M Overall, a task-involving climate was a positive predictor of autonomous motivation at T1 see Table 3 , M1—M4 and M8—M11, β 1 and of the latent change in autonomous motivation at T2 M1—M4 and M8—M11, β 8.

A task-involving climate was a negative predictor of the intensity of anxiety and dysfunctional anger at T1 M2-β 2 and M4-β 2 , and the latent change in these emotions at T2 M2-β 9 and M4-β 9 , while it positively predicted the reported impact of functional anger at T1 Mβ 2 , but not the change in this emotion at T2 Mβ 9.

An ego-involving climate positively predicted controlled motivation at T1 M5—M7 and M12—M14, β 1 and the latent difference in controlled motivation at T2, but only for the path including the intensity of functional anger M6-β 8. Ego-involving climate was a positive predictor of the intensity of anxiety at T1 M5-β 2 , the intensity and reported impact of dysfunctional anger at T1 M7-β 2 and Mβ 2 , respectively , and latent change in the intensity and reported impact of dysfunctional anger at T2 M7-β 9 and Mβ 9 , respectively.

Effect sizes for these reported significant paths were low. Table 3. Standardized path coefficients for relationships between motivational climate MC , motivation regulations M , and emotions E. As can be observed in Table 3 , the path from the reported intensity of dysfunctional anger at T1 to the latent change in autonomous motivation at T2 M4-β 11 was significant and positive, but the coefficient from autonomous motivation at T1 to the latent change in dysfunctional anger at T2 M4-β 10 was non-significant.

Also, the path from the reported impact of dysfunctional anger at T1 to the latent change in controlled motivation Mβ 11 was significant and positive, but β 10 was non-significant. These findings regarding the intensity and perceived impact of dysfunctional anger would support H 1 emotion predicts changes in motivational regulations.

The path from controlled motivation at T1 to the latent change in the intensity of functional anger at T2 M6-β 10 was significant, but not β 11 , supporting H 2 motivational regulations predict changes in emotions. Finally, the path from controlled motivation at T1 to the latent change in reported intensity of anxiety at T2 M5-β 10 and the path from the intensity of anxiety at T1 to the latent change in controlled motivation at T2 M5-β 11 were significant and positive, thus providing support for H 3 reciprocal effects.

Effect sizes for these reported significant paths were also low. In contrast, an ego-involving climate was expected to be a positive predictor of controlled motivation and dysfunctional emotions. The first sequence examined the mediating role of motivation regulations in the motivational climate and emotion relationships, while the second sequence placed emotions as mediators of the motivational climate and motivation regulations relationship.

The results indicated moderately high positive correlations in the reported scores of perceived motivational climate across time. These findings concur with empirical evidence from a previous longitudinal study examining the perceptions of football players about their motivational climate at the beginning and at the end of the season Sage and Kavussanu, However, their study included other variables i.

In addition, the timeframe in their study was relatively longer including data from the beginning to the end of the season, which may also have allowed for other aspects e. This finding is in line with the Lonsdale and Hodge study results on elite level athletes assessed over a 4-month period.

Empirical support for variability in emotional intensity has derived from studies assessing the intensity of anxiety 1 h prior to four meets Turner and Raglin, or a range of feeling states 15 min prior a fight in 10 competitions across the entire season Robazza et al.

However, partial support was obtained for the hypothesized link between ego-involving climate and the change in controlled motivation, as only one significant positive path was found with the intensity of functional anger included in the model, but not in the case of other emotions.

Negative significant paths were found between task-involving climate and the change in intensity of dysfunctional anxiety and dysfunctional anger. In contrast, significant positive paths were found for ego-involving climate and the change in intensity and reported impact of dysfunctional anger.

Notably, small effect sizes of significant paths were observed. The results are in line with AGT Nicholls, and SDT Deci and Ryan, , ; Ryan and Deci, assumptions that a task-involving climate is associated with a more adaptive achievement pattern while an ego-involving climate is associated with a more maladaptive pattern.

Taken together, these results confirm our hypothesis regarding the stability of the interplay between motivational climate, motivation, and emotions supporting the notion that the social situation created by significant others influences goal involvement and how participants interpret their experiences.

Specifically, the first hypothesis emotions predict changes in motivation regulations was supported by the significant links found between the intensity of dysfunctional anger and the change score in autonomous motivation, and between dysfunctional perceptions of anger and the change score for controlled motivation.

The links in the opposite directions were non-significant. The second hypothesis motivation regulations predict changes in emotions was partially supported by a significant path from controlled motivation to the change score in intensity of functional anger, while a non-significant link was found in the opposite direction.

The third hypothesis reciprocal relationship between emotions and motivation regulations was supported by significant paths between controlled motivation and the change score of the intensity of anxiety in both directions. Taken together, the results suggest that the interplay between motivation and emotions is contingent of the specific emotions.

Different findings were observed regarding the intensity and functional impact of emotions. Thus, the findings also provide support for the assessment of both intensity and functional impact of emotions.

However, effect sizes were low, thus, overall findings should be interpreted with caution. The notion that motivation determines emotions is supported by several theorists. For instance, in addition to AGT Nicholls, and SDT Deci and Ryan, ; Ryan and Deci, , in the contextual motivation sequence proposed within the hierarchical model Vallerand, it is assumed that motivation determines behavior, emotions, and thoughts.

Also Lazarus cognitive-motivational-relational theory of emotion conceptualizes emotion as an organized psychophysiological reaction reflecting person-environment relationships. According to Lazarus, the function of emotions is to facilitate adaptation.

Previous research, with young participants in particular, has also examined emotions as both antecedents and consequences of motivation.

For instance, Blanchard et al. In contrast, in the Bortoli et al. Our results indicate that only in the instance of controlled motivation and the intensity of anxiety there were significant paths indicating a reciprocal relationship.

This may support the notion that emotions and motivation are complex phenomena. Lazarus suggested using a systems theory approach whereby each subsystem would be comprised of several variables, and thus, it would be possible to assume that sometimes one may act as an independent variable and at other times as an outcome variable.

According to a systems theory approach, in the IZOF model emotions are conceptualized as core components of a psychobiosocial state, which can be manifested in several interrelated modalities including emotional and motivational aspects for descriptions, see Hanin, ; Ruiz et al.

Based on our results, significant emotion-motivation relationships emerged on the reported data on anxiety and anger, but not on pleasant experiences. This study was one of the first to explore the sequential interplay between the quality of motivation and performance related emotions in sport.

The repeated measures design allowed the examination of two alternative sequences in which motivational climate would serve as antecedents of: 1 the variability in motivation regulations, which would result in different emotions; or 2 different emotions, which would be antecedents of the quality of motivation.

Overall, results indicate that emotions and motivation are intertwined: specific emotions predicted different types of motivation and, at the same time, motivation regulations predicted specific emotions.

The study has some limitations that should to be addressed in the future. First, because of the relatively small sample size, we estimated the models for each emotion separately. Previous studies have used a composite index for motivation Lonsdale and Hodge, Future research should attempt to replicate the present findings with a larger sample to allow for the estimation of a model including all study variables.

Effect sizes obtained in the study were relatively small, thus, larger sample studies are warranted in the replication of these findings. Second, we used repeated measures at two time points across 3 months. This allowed us to examine inter-individual variability in intra-individual patterns of change over time.

However, future research could include a larger number of measurement points, which would provide a more reliable assessment and information about individual trajectories, thereby shedding more light into the understanding of the interplay of motivational and emotional variables across time.

A final limitation of the study is the use of a correlational design. Thus, future experimental research where some of the studied variables are manipulated would allow for a direct test of the proposed models, providing a better understanding of the nature of the motivation and emotion relationship.

The study has important practical implications. Findings support the notion that coaches need to promote a task-involving motivational climate to attain long lasting positive effects on autonomous motivation.

Coaches should also be mindful that an ego-involving climate could have negative long-term effects by triggering controlled motivation and dysfunctional stress-related emotions. Sport psychology practitioners should help athletes become aware of the personal reasons to participate in sport, their emotional experiences, and the interplay between motivation and emotions.

Sport psychology interventions could focus on an early identification of athletes presenting high levels of controlled motivation or dysfunctional anxiety, in order to prevent maladaptive responses to psychological stress and their negative long-term effects.

The manner in which we respond to stress is best described by Hans Selye with the General Adaption Syndrome GAS. GAS states that the body goes through a specific set of responses short term and adaptations longer term after being exposed by an external stressor. The theory holds that the body goes through three stages, two that contribute to survival and a third that involves a failure to adapt to the stressor resulting in DEATH.

Motivational training adaptations -

Monitor his progress, the quality of his training, his recovery process, and his temperament. Observe how the athlete handles the low load before making any adjustments.

Forced intensification is unwise because the earlier the intensification happens in the athlete's career, the sooner he will plateau. In his presentation in , Dr. This idea of low dosing and working to find the threshold of adaptation has been applied and used with youth, high school, collegiate Division I, II, and III , and professional athletes.

I'll admit that I'm just a practitioner when it comes to this sports science stuff. Yessis first told me of this concept of applying a low dose and it seemingly went against everything that my previous background and experience in training had taught me.

Skeptical as I was at first, I only applied this idea of starting out with one set of every exercise with only half of my team. The other half of the team performed the standard three sets of exercises. In two seasons, my high school football program's average yard improvement was 0.

They improved in the shuttle run by 0. In the two seasons of using the low dose methodology, the football team had a record.

At Michigan Tech, Matt Thome has used this idea with his teams. They now have inch or better vertical jumps. The team's average broad jump increased 3. Ryan Bracius at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has been working with the basketball and tennis programs.

The female tennis team won 75 straight matches. Some athletes will only need one set to improve. Others will need two, three, or four sets.

I would much rather under train an athlete than overtrain one. The long-term development of an athlete should always be in the forefront of every training program. Considerations should be made for not only how the training being done now affects the athlete but how it will affect him two to three years down the road.

By starting with a low dose, it allows the athlete to continue to make progress later on in his career because the plasticity of his central nervous system wasn't hardened at an early age due to more volume and intensity than what he was able to handle.

Jeffrey Moyer. The Practical Paradigm: Threshold of Adaptation. Tags: training athletes , increased strength , Dr. Trouble in our industry As an industry in general, we tend to go overboard with volume and intensity of the training load.

Without going into great detail about the specifics of the presentation, some of the key points were: The originality and context in which GAS was discovered The first attempts of applying the GAS concept into sports training Scientific critiques and updates of the concept Applying the updated GAS concept in sports training According to Selye, stress is the non-specific response of the body to any demand made upon it.

The results of the experiments showed that: The stress syndrome alarm, resistance, and exhaustion develops only under influences having high magnitude. The human body has an interaction between two main energy flows: Energy that is used for external work running, lifting, jumping Energy to attain restitution ensuring adaption against stress 5 This mobilization of energy allows the body to be very plastic and formable.

The two components that can affect strength training progress are neural adaptations and hypertrophy adaptations. Neural adaptations — as we train, our brain and motor programmes will become more familiar with repeated movements, allowing us to improve our performance over time.

So if someone carries out a one rep max in training then returns a week later without having lifted weights, the amount they can lift in one rep will still increase because of the neural adaptation.

Even if they carry out a movement on one side of the body but not the other, it will benefit both sides. For example, carrying out a one-leg press on the right leg will make it easier to carry out the same action on the left leg when they come back to training a week later. As there has been no hypertrophy — no working of the muscles — in the left leg, this improved efficiency in carrying out the movement on the left leg is because their brain has made an adaptation.

Because neural adaptations mostly take effect when a person is new to training or returning to training after a break, they contribute to the steep rise in results seen in the early stages of training.

However, over time, it is hypertrophy adaptations that take over as having the most impact on training results, while neural adaptations will tend to plateau. So in the first few weeks of training, a client may be getting stronger without noticeable changes to muscle size, which will come later.

Hypertrophy adaptations that build muscle and strength are recognised as progression in training, but a personal trainer should be aware that the clients they are working with will also develop neural adaptations, especially in the early stages of training.
