Do not force the rate of your progress.(Negative adaptation in organs and systems not directly challenged by specific training is especially pronounced in immature organisms) To mitigate the downsides or costs of specialisation: The cost can be exacted from the systems of the body directly loaded by the stressor-or from other system(s) not directly involved in dealing with the stressor This phenomenon is called “the cost of adaptation”. Even worse, the muscles of a hard training and dieting young gymnast cannibalize some of the heart muscle to find some precious protein! Another example is female machinery malfunctions typical in young girls who are high-level athletes in bodyweight sensitive sports like gymnastics. If, on the other hand, the challenge were directed at the liver or kidneys (through a change of food, an increase of sodium intake, etc.), the hard training rats would be at a disadvantage compared to their lazy brothers and sisters. If later the rodents from the study encountered significant physical loads, they would be better prepared to handle them and survive compared to their untrained peers. In other words, while the training increased the functional capacity of the heart, it simultaneously reduced the capacity of several inner organs!
Their heart mass increased-while the mass of their kidneys and adrenal glands went noticeably down, and so did the number of the liver cells. There are over a hundred measurable health parameters.Ī number of Soviet and Russian textbooks, from the 1970s until today, cite a study of young rodents undergoing an intense swimming regimen-one hour a day for ten weeks. To improve your quantity of health, you need to increase the reserves of your functional systems, cardiovascular, pulmonary, muscular, etc. These reserve powers are measured with the health reserve coefficient: the ratio of the system’s maximal ability to the everyday demands on it. According to Academician Nikolay Amosov, these people are only “statically healthy”-until the environment disrupts their fragile status quo.Īcademician Amosov coined the term “the quantity of health”, or the sum of the reserve powers of the main functional systems. Bayevsky, at any given moment, between 50 to 80% of all people are in the so-called donozoological state, or between health and illness. I found his overall philosophy and approach to health maintenance very interesting, so here is a little post on what I have been able to gather on him.Īmosov – theory behind his recommendations (From Pavel Tsatsouline)Īccording to Prof. Some of you have probably heard of Nikolai Amosov (1913-2002), a Soviet and Ukranian doctor and health icon, and his rejuvenation routine through Pavel Tsatsouline’s book Super Joints. 5 (2012): Nikolai Amosov and his Rejuvenation Routine
