So as most know improvement comes from specific adaptations. But what most don't appear to know is that the immune system might be one of the biggest contributing factors in this adaptations.
Severe depression of the immune system leads to overtraining. Minor depression might still lead to temporarily improvements.
But we can't see past the immune system in creating the base of training schedules. We just can't.
I am already reading these boards for whole high school, college during all lessons with computers and at home.
From time to time someone comes discussing a bit about the immune system but it appears to look more like a citate and not really leads to a big discussion. At least not like the discussions weather coe was sneaking in extra mileage and forgetting to count his warm ups and cool downs in his 60 mile weeks.
I want to see a good discussion getting here by the more advanced readers like exercise physiology students, medical students, trainers, people looking in on these things about stuff like:
- recovery durations for endocrine system of different training intensities and durations and combinations of both
- real recovery methods (the immune system would be the first marker weather a certain system is working)
- lifestyle on the endocrine system and training.
- Aging and different training methods. At what point dose dosed intensity comes an advantage over a lot of easy running (some will say injury, but i am sure for some that deflection point is earlier and for others later)
And maybe a side discussion on training and other endocrine responses on the body. Like generally increased Igf-1 levels and thus BDNF levels in the brain. What intensity makes Igf-1 still pass blood brain barriere and what not.
I want to make a big discussion, maybe something where students can go to and use stuff and test it in their projects.
