Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overload in a sport conditioning program refers to training that stresses the cardiovascular system and/or skeletal muscles above a level to which they are accustomed, in order to promote adaptations and improvements in performance. Training above 90% of V02 max would fall under this definition but is not the only way to achieve overload. Injuries or emotional stress are not necessarily associated with overload in a conditioning program.
