Modeling the Responses to Resistance Training in an Animal Experiment Study

Figure 1

Schematic representation of the response to 1 unit of training according to Model-2Comp. Performance results from the difference between two training components. In the case whereis greater than, performance decreases first after the training bout. Afterwards, the negative component decreases more quickly than the positive component, in the case whereis greater than, resulting in performance recovery and peaking when the difference between the negative and positive components is the greatest. The response to a training bout is characterized by, the time necessary to recover initial performance after the training session,, the time necessary to reach maximal performance, and, the maximal gain in performance for 1 training unit.
