What is supercompensation?

Supercompensation is the theory of sports science that focuses on an increased increase in glycogen in the muscles. The theory states that when a larger amount of glycogen is released in the muscles, the body will react with a sudden decrease in glycogen levels, followed by an increased desire for carbohydrates. This chain of events allows the body to compensate for a sudden increase in muscle glycogen and restore balance.

The process of supercompensation follows immediately after the training period when the body is tired of stress of training. During this time, the natural processes in the body trigger to restore the level of energy and fitness that the individual had before the start of the training, and also prepares the body for the next round of training by increasing the general energy level. If the individual starts the second round of training while this elevated energy level is present, the body will adapt to this new level and in the future becomes the basic level of fitness for the body.

Further training in a period of supercompensation is considered much better for the body than if the training continued while the body is still in the recovery phase. This is because the body simply attempts to restore to the same energy level as he knew before the last round of the training, so the training would not result in any noticeable increase in the basic level of the individual's fitness. Waiting, when the recovery time ends and the period of super -communation has begun, the individual is able to set a new level or standard that is higher than the previous condition or energy level. The athlete reaps the biggest advantage of training in a shorter period of time.

Some approaches to supercompensation sees this phenomenon as the second breeding of recovery period, while others consider it a whole new phase in the overall training process. In any case, supercompensation is generally considered to be a time when muscle strength is increasing, along with muscle mass. For this reason many athletes and trainerIt makes it a place to allow a fair amount of recovery time, allowing the body to enter the phase of supercompensation before the second round. If it is associated with a reasonable diet and reasonable exercise program, observing this progression from the initial fitness level to superconminate level can significantly strengthen the overall well -being of the athlete and increase the individual's ability to compete in a number of sports events with increased amounts of endurance.
