• Metabolic Conditioning - builds capacity in each of three metabolic pathways, beginning with aerobic, then lactic acid, and then phosphocreatine pathways.
• Gymnastics - establishes functional capacity for body control and range of motion.
• Weightlifting and throwing - develop ability to control external objects and produce power.
• Sport - applies fitness in competitive atmosphere with more randomized movements and skill mastery

their fitness demands are so specialized as to be inconsistent with the adaptations that give maximum competency at all physical challenges

is a change in the body that affects you either neurologically or hormonally. Most important adaptations to exercise are in part or completely a result of a hormonal or neurological shift.

Increased muscle mass and bone density are just two of many adaptative responses to exercises capable of producing a significant neuroendocrine response.

Heavy load weight training, short rest between sets, high heart rates, high intensity training, and short rest intervals,are all associated with a high neuroendocrine response.
