What would be a symptom of overtraining? - ANSWERDecrease in performance



There are two types of overtraining:

1. Sympathetic: mostly seen in anaerobic clients, this type of overtraining affects the sympathetic
nervous system (speeds up bodily functions; increasing energy needs) and results in increased resting
heart rate, increased blood pressure, loss of appetite - which leads to weight loss and decreased
body mass, sleeping problems, emotional instability, and an elevated basal metabolic rate.

2. Parasympathetic: mostly seen in aerobic clients, the opposite occurs. Since this system slows down
bodily functions and conserves energy, overtraining will result in early onset of fatigue, increased
resting heart rate, heart rate recovery after exercise slows down, and an increase in resting blood
pressure.



What is primarily responsible for strength gains in beginner clients? - ANSWERNeural adaptations



Beginners will see a spike in strength and then hypertrophy comes after. Once they have more
strength, then they'll be able to lift heavier weights for more reps (6 - 12) = hypertrophy.
