Description

The adaptation of the load is called supercompensation. (File:Supercompensation.svg|thumb|right|400px|Initial fitness, training, recovery, and supercompensation)First put forth by Russian scientist Nikolai N. Yakovlev in 1949–1959,JOURNAL, Viru, Atko, April 17, 2002, Early contributions of Russian stress and exercise physiologists, Journal of Applied Physiology, 92, 4, 1378–1382, 10.1152/japplphysiol.00435.2001, 11896000, 1216297, this theory is a basic principle of athletic training. The fitness level of a human body in training can be broken down into four periods: initial fitness, training, recovery, and supercompensation. During the initial fitness period, the target of the training has a base level of fitness. Upon entering the training period, the target's level of fitness decreases. After fitness training, the body enters the recovery period, during which the level of fitness increases up to the initial fitness level.Because the human body is an adaptable organism, it will feel the need to adapt itself to a higher level of fitness in anticipation of the next training session. Accordingly, the increase in fitness following a training session does not stop at the initial fitness level. Instead, the body enters a period of supercompensation during which fitness surpasses the initial fitness level. If there are no further workouts, this fitness level will slowly decline back towards the initial fitness level (shown by the last time sector in the graph). If the next workout takes place during the recovery period, overtraining may occur. If the next workout takes place during the supercompensation period, the body will advance to a higher level of fitness. If the next workout takes place after the supercompensation period, the body will remain at its base level.Sometimes a few workouts are intentionally made in the recovery period to try to achieve greater supercompensation effects.JOURNAL, Marrier, Bruno, Robineau, Julien, Piscione, Julien, Lacome, Mathieu, Peeters, Alexis, Hausswirth, Christophe, Morin, Jean-Benoît, Meur, Yann Le, 2017-01-25, Supercompensation Kinetics of Physical Qualities During a Taper in Team Sport Athletes, International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 12, 9, 1163–1169, 10.1123/ijspp.2016-0607, 28121198, 1555-0265,

Supercompensation–training programs relation

This process is based on various physiological functions and parameters. Each of these functions or parameters has distinct recovery times, timeframes to reach supercompensation, and intervals between the peak and return to baseline fitness.Other influences are muscle strength and mass. For instance, muscle mass is influenced by the quantity of glycogen in the muscles, among others.

Uses

In classical sport science, the yearly (sometimes multi-yearly) period is divided into micro and macro cycles, where each microcycle is responsible for the development of a specific (sometimes several) basic training function and parameter, whereas macrocycles are responsible for the development of complex parameters/functions (such as muscle strength).
