Periodization: General Adaptation Syndrome, SRAI Curve, Fitness Fatigue Paradigm | CSCS Chapter 21

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Come see me at the 2023 NSCA Coaches Conference in January! For some reason they want me to give a talk about stats. It will be fun, I promise. Sign up for that here: www.nsca.com/coaches/ It's been awhile since my last CSCS lecture video! Thanks for your patience friends.

[@AlKey3]

Subscribed... Nice work.

[@IvyBartlett]

The stress adaptation graph was incredibly useful for visualizing how training progress is achieved!

[@mollytucker567]

The diagrams throughout this video were super, super helpful!

[@miadenava585]

I appreciate all of the visuals and graphs in this video! It was super helpful in understanding how these concepts guide training adaptation!

[@Moniiiqueee824]

Awesome video on periodization, I’ve always known balancing training and recovery is important, but this really helped me understand how things like GAS, the SRAI Curve, and the Fitness-Fatigue Paradigm fit together.

[@sarahcox-barden]

General adaptation syndrome was so interesting to hear about and I liked the picture on the slide that helped explain it. It was also a good reminder that you can overwork your body

[@IsraelSwanson-or3im]

Definitely one of the hardest chapters! This video helped me pass the exam great refresher!!

[@morganrolleri9198]

The graph showing the alarm phase, resistance phase, supercompensation phase, and overtaining phase was a very helpful visual and helped me to understand them better.

[@Adam.gates_]

The graph of stress adaptations was very helpful for visualizing how progress is made in training!

[@laynelarsen4910]

This was a great video making the difference between programming and periodization very clear.

[@karatemplin]

I think something that is so very important is teaching our athletes how important integrating rest periods are!

[@jacobfortes1487]

Dr. Goodin, Thank you for your clarification of programming vs periodization. "We design our programs in order to meet the goals of the overarching periodization structure" is a very comprehensive way to look at it! Thank you!

[@MegaW3rd]

Yes Verkoshanky and Bompa on periodization please!

[@moirabryson5042]

I never realized that there were so many definitions of periodization, but helpful to know them all in order to better understand it. Thank you!

[@willhopkins4197]

I find that having the graphs as a visual for each concept is very helpful for me in understanding each of the concepts.

[@MatthewDuPrey325]

I found it very useful that you gave so many different definitions of periodization it really helped me to understand the reading from this week better.

[@AndreRamirez-ml1di]

Your explanation of the Stimulus-Recovery-Adaptation really helped me get a better grasp of this concept. I especially appreciate the visual to go along with it! Thanks

[@ColeCardinale]

Dr. Goodin, These videos have such great content that has helped me study for my exams as a strength coach. I really enjoyed the portion when you touch on general adaptation syndrome!

[@HYPOXiX]

I’m so happy that you exist on KZbin! Thanks so much for all you do

[@jadenrea1109]

I really enjoyed your overview of the Stimulus-Recovery-Adaptation graph as this graph really highlights the patterned response of GAS and how different factors affect the athlete.

[@emilywalker9462]

The slide with the General Adapation Syndrom Diagram was super helpful in understanding. It simplified and reinforced what you were discussing about fitness and fatigue as well. Thank you!

[@torinahommes8539]

I was so intrigued by the fitness fatigue paradigm. I never thought about how common it must be to be training in ways that induce fatigue and do not improve long term fitness and optimized performance. Thank you for the great video, Dr. Goodin!

[@evaozimec]

I like the graph that overlays the periodization nomenclature with GAS because it shows what happens to performance from a long-term perspective.

[@AylethLizarraga]

I didn't not periodization was so complex! It was very helpful to watch this video to fully understand what it consists of!

[@AlimaChichibabina]

I'm so happy that I've found your channel. Thank you

[@lucamarin8565]

Never thought there would be so many definitions for periodization

[@matthewwadley4348]

The differences between both periodization and programming and how you explained it was very helpful. The graphs helped too with that visualization factor of it

[@evaozimec]

It's fascinating that our bodies have the same stress response no matter the stressor. I liked your clarification of periodization vs. programming which was one of the questions Cunanan asked me in my interview!

[@kylesands9693]

I always thought that fitness and preparedness would be the same, the graph at the end of the video really helped me understand how this is not true. Amazing explanation Dr. Goodin!

[@BrianaReynoso]

This video really helped me have a better understanding of what periodization is and how it works

[@macynunez4455]

So interesting to learn about the complexity of periodization. I like how you touched on how disrupting homeostasis stimulates our body to adapt, but we also need to keep rest and recovery in mind so that we can rebound and come back stronger!

[@akakimot0023]

Very informative video Dr. Goodin! We always use the term "stress" so it was very interesting to learn that stress is our body adapting.

[@ashleymoratayaa]

Dr. Goodin, I watched your periodization videos to help study for the practical section of the CSCS exam. They helped me gain a better understanding of the GAS syndrome and fitness fatigue paradigm. Thank you for making these videos!

[@clairemasterson6031]

The slide with the Cunanan graphic really helps bring it all together for me.

[@jakegonzales1367]

Thank you for clarifying the definition of periodization and how it is not so much linear but more of a period based technique

[@ryanharris8481]

I appreciated all of the different definitions of periodization. There are so many different ways to interpret the concept of periodization.

[@avajgallo]

I now understand preparedness better. I didn't realize it becomes higher when fitness and fatigue becomes lower.

[@HYPOXiX]

He is a fantastic teacher! More of us on KZbin

[@JakeNigh-dr9ow]

Thanks for another great lecture Dr. Goodin. I would love to hear more about Verkhoshansky and Bompa and the Soviet manuals!

[@joshuasaetern8069]

Now I understand the difference between programming and periodization!

[@kelli-lynroche8446]

This was super helpful to better understand the reading on this section in the book.

[@DevanneyBoyd]

It was super helpful to breakdown periodization and some of the associated theories.

[@torilucht5871]

This video did a great job explaining the concept of general adaption syndrome! I appreciated seeing the graph because it gave a good visual of each phase during this process.

[@wyattcarlson7504]

Thank you for this video that takes us into a deeper dive of this idea of periodization and how it works. Especially the different components that determine how one can use periodization to build an effective program.

[@laurenwahl9715]

I thought the way you explained periodization was very helpful, as well as the ways you laid out and explained stress adaption!

[@madelinejewelnebril2871]

The graphs were helpful in understanding performance levels during each phase of GAS.

[@lexireynish5892]

This video was really helpful in understanding all the nuances of periodization!

[@miked5292]

Thanks for these videos. I'm reading the book at the moment and I keep coming back to the videos for a high level overview before diving into the chapter. Watching and listening to these videos before hand definitely helps me better understand the material. This is good stuff - It helps that you can articulate high level concepts in a way that make them easy to understand! We appreciate it.

[@Justin-bo4cx]

I thought it was great that you highlighted the importance that adaptation can only occur after training if proper recovery is completed!

[@selafallon7284]

Great lecture Dr. Goodin! I am interested to learn more about the fatigue ratio you touched on.

[@brysonhashimoto2878]

I found it very interesting with your section about preparedness. I did not realize preparedness is different for each person and that one needs to have more preparedness if their fitness goes lower.

[@wyntonbrown9439]

Really enjoyed learning about the fitness-fatigue paradigm. I find the relation between the amount of training, and whether or not the athlete is has increased fitness or fatigue.

[@IvanPalomares-Gonzalez]

This is a great lecture to create a solid base on the basic concepts of GAS and periodization. I gave a quick read on Cunanan et al.'s, paper on GAS as well as some of Selye's later work. I think it would have been great to include Figure 1 from Cunanan et al., to have a visual on the distinction between programming and periodization. I also thought it was great how you can see in Selye's work you see him tackling some of the limitations or criticisms presented about GAS like, the stress concept.

[@rozalynnlarson8835]

The explanation of the periodization periods graph was really helpful

[@zoiezantua7002]

I've never heard of GAS and the graphs really helped it make sense!

[@celinegriffin3244]

The graphs helped a lot to understand the concepts as well as you pointing out that if you have a whole week of very hard heavy training it might take an athlete a whole week just to recover and then super compensate or they could lead to even overtraining syndrome.

[@dimitricarrion6145]

I liked how you mentioned the physical stress that comes from an athlete going through a training program along with the mental stress that can come in a variety of ways

[@BriannaAdams1220]

great explanation as to why periodization and programming are not the same!

[@abartsch0022]

I want to try the mad or mat cow thing, the name sounds great. But I love how you made the three types of training very easy to understand since it was kinda confusing in the book.

[@charmenatchison]

This is intricate. But I need to know it. I'm ready for the next video.

[@aleckerremans]

Hey Dr.Goodin, Taking my CsCs in a few hours and I really appreciate your videos and the way in which you pour yourself into this field. I would love to get more book recommendations and yes I’d love to hear your thoughts on other exercise science related literature that can make us all better coaches.

[@joshelkins67]

Dr. Goodin, I've thoroughly been enjoying your CSCS content as I'm studying for the exam- thank you. I was delighted to hear in this video that you are a product of ETSU and Dr. Stone. I am currently in my first year as a graduate student under Dr. and Coach Stone. Small world. Looking forward to more content!

[@audreyoates3242]

I appreciate the graphs and the definitions of the concepts, super helpful video!

[@thomaskinzler]

The GAS is very intriguing to me, as it is fascinating how the body can adapt continuously. I had never considered how the performance level would initially drop but it now makes sense that the body would first have to make adjustments before increasing its ability.

[@joyshang5670]

I liked seeing the preparedness graph and learn the relationship between fatigue and fitness!

[@Mitochondria_House]

love to get inyto those manuals!!!

[@chynnakifer1218]

Thank you for defining the key terms it helped me understand the goals of each concept! Great video!

[@parkerroberson6865]

The general adaptation syndrome slide was very interesting - the body having the same stress response no matter the stressor, even factors outside of training.

[@josebimbela6036]

I really liked when you mentioned newer things aren’t necessarily better, as there are things coming up that won’t stand the test of time. New technology keeps coming out, but a lot of it don’t have any studies on their validity. Also, just because a place is using new training trends/technology, it doesn’t necessarily mean they are more effective, or that the data being collected will be used properly.

[@madelinehernandez8838]

There are so many different factors that can play a role in adaptive reactions of the body. It is important to take stressors into account when dealing with athletes.

[@jackstraining]

Crazy when looking at general adaptation syndrome that you included a quote form 1938 that was reiterated in a study in 2018! So cool how our bodies adapt to overcome the stress that is put on it and how we can influence the adaptations by purposefully imposing stress.

[@dereklinck2672]

Very interesting to hear about the body's reaction to stressors and how it responds to them virtually the same. The experiment done on the rats sounds intense but I'm sure a lot of useful knowledge was gained in the effort.

[@cameransherwood5157]

Crazy how our bodies adapt to this continuous stressor and by predicting that this stressor will be presents, Preps the body by making it stronger for the next time its present

[@ClaireStone-jq4wg]

It's fascinating how the phases of the general adaptation syndrome can occur in micro, macro, and meso cycles.

[@gajrajsinghrao9148]

Loving your content! Please keep sharing such informative videos.

[@dashawnflythe4019]

could we dive into the old program manuals you mentioned at the end? do you have any links/ books on it. i would like to learn more

[@tjcobbs7303]

Great video! I take my exam soon

[@VirAquinoPLNU]

it's crazy how our body can literally adapt to anything so quickly

[@TheHirootarek]

are you uploading chapter 22?

[@coreymayoung2291]

I love your videos!! I would love to post them on my website

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Please feel free to link out to them or embed them with proper attribution

[@bruiseleeroy7010]

Beautiful stuff

[@JoshuaLuellen-rg8xp]

Old Soviet training manuals. Yes please do that

[@yotube9797]

Hello Mr Goodin, was there ever a conclusion to your hybrid training goals ? Did you manage hitting 500/5min ?

[@DrJacobGoodin]

Thanks for asking! Still grinding away at them actually. I had a major setback with an ankle injury this summer, but I owe everyone who's been following a training update soon.

[@yotube9797]

@@DrJacobGoodin Sorry to hear that, dont hope it was too serious. Hope to see an update soon, enjoying the content.

[@gordonsmith3324]

Supertraining by Yuri Verkoshansky is phenomenal work! Also, Transfer of Training by Anatoliy Bondarchuk shares four or five Olympic training cycles worth of data relevant to what training they were able to determine was most specific to the athlete's chosen sport/event.

[@thelmasepulveda4481]

The graphs help me better understand the concepts and I also think that recovery is very important because higher training loads will require more time to recover.

[@MouhcineAlMansouri]

Selye had questionable tactics, but helpful results. I'm sure we all feel like lab rats subjected to the world sometimes
