The recommendations that a high-performance professional can supply to treat fatigue

 

The Professional Master’s Degree High Performance in Sports of TECH provides complete knowledge on how to deal with situations of fatigue derived from sports training


Nowadays it is common for some people to want to start their healthy lifestyle by implementing an exercise routine, and usually is when the body is subjected to extreme conditions of overtraining, or when it is not used to a type of exercise with a specific intensity, a fatigue is experienced. According to the Professional Master’s Degree High Performance in Sports by TECH University, fatigue can be a normal response to physical exertion, emotional stress, boredom, lack of sleep. It may also be a non-specific sign of an important psychological or physiological disorder that may affect several aspects of daily life.


To diagnostic the fatigue there are some causes such as endocrine system and nervous system disorders, not allowing the body to recover properly after intense and prolonged exercise, decreased level of cellular oxygen, ions, water, metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins, bad nutrition, tobacco and alcohol use, among others. And the common symptoms are tiredness that progressively affects muscles, cramps, muscle and joint stiffness, asthenia, raises blood pressure and basal pulse, decreases attention and concentration, sleep disorder, among others.
Also, it is important to point out that fatigue is a continuous phenomenon in which there is no exact cutoff point, however, it can be classified from the point of view of the time of onset:

  1. Acute fatigue: The appearance of this occurs during or after an intense session of exercises, usually is accompanied by muscle tissue injury, affecting only the muscles involved in the exercise. Depending on the intensity, the muscle inflammation can manifest between the following 8 and 72 hours (about 3 days).
  2. Subacute fatigue: This one occurs after one or more load micro cycle, when the effort has been produced at a higher intensity than adapted by the person. This kind of fatigue is necessary to stimulate, adapt and super compensate for the organism before physical exercise.
  3. Chronic fatigue or overtraining syndrome: It is the result of a long and intense training process that causes a permanent state of fatigue that leads to overtraining which causes a picture of fatigue that always leads to a drop in performance.

 

Besides the above, a series of measures must be taken as soon as possible to recover from fatigue, such as decrease the intensity of training for at least 6 days, take a compensatory vitamin complex, replenish mineral salts, a restful sleep of 8 to 10 hours a day, and have a diet rich in protein and carbohydrates, among others.


Professional Master’s Degree High Performance in Sports
TECH Technological University created this program in High Sports Performance to develop student's skills to work in high-performance training with the certainty of having all the information and knowledge necessary to achieve aims through the domain of physiology, statistics, nutrition and evaluation of time and mark and situation sports. The master was created by experts in this field who have the experience in sports performance.
On each module the TECH students will learn with contents at a theoretical level of the highest quality and depth, practical cases with real examples of sports teams and athletes, the use of modern technologies in the scope of performance and its uses, likewise, will be able to interpret the data provided by each device and thus make better decisions to supply a training program. The advantage this institution offer is the opportunity to learn 100% online and have all the lessons and tools that make up this academic plan such as multimedia material, interactive learning system based on algorithms for decision making, access to the best teachers, among others.


The contents on this program were created considering the implications of training in daily practice, the current relevance of quality specialization in this field and teaching through new educational technologies to deep in topics such as exercise physiology, physical activity, thermodynamics, bioenergetics, sports performance evaluation, physical fatigue, statistics applied to performance and research, strength and speed training, planning applied to High Sports Performance, nutrition, neuromuscular system, among other relevant themes.


Re-Learning method
The Professional Master’s Degree High Performance in Sports of TECH is developed entirely online. During the 12 months of training, the student has access to the program's contents at any time and from any device, allowing them to self-manage the study time with maximum flexibility and adapt to each student's schedule.

It has its own learning method, 'Re-Learning', based on asynchrony and self-management. The contents are presented in an attractive and dynamic way in multimedia capsules that include audio, videos, images, diagrams, and conceptual maps to corroborate knowledge.
