Tiredness or fatigue is multietiological and multicausal. It is saying something very inaccurate, so it will not present a single and clear explanation. Why are the consequences of uneven physiological situations in the functioning and processes of the human body.
Being tiredness or fatigue a response of the human body that will tell us how we are adapting to our training routine.
But … What does science tell us about fatigue or tiredness?
Within this multietiological explanation (which is caused by various factors).
And also, multicausal (which is not produced only by one cause, but by several).
To summarize this very generic concept, what does science tell us?
The ideal way to detect fatigue or tiredness would be to contemplate it from a perspective that would consist of analyzing the exercises one by one of our training routines. Carrying out an individualized evaluation of the respective exercises in which we will estimate their power, which will be the result of multiplying the force by the speed of muscle contraction, being this more affected by fatigue or tiredness, which will occur regardless of whether there is an affectation in the speed of contraction or maximum force, producing fatigue or tiredness regardless of whether or not the intensity of effort can be maintained at a given moment (López Chicharro and Fernández Vaquero, 2006).
How do we solve this great dilemma in a simple way?
Let’s make things easy, what counts is to give the training well and not break your head …
One of the many ways to tear down this great dilemma (understand it in a simple way). It would be to understand fatigue or tiredness in a very simple and general way based on the fact that its explanatory concept revolves around fatigue or tiredness:
“It is the impossibility of generating a force, work or effort at the required or expected level, produced or not by an exercise that we have previously carried out”
And to put the icing we include decisive factors s such as:
- Your fitness status.
- Your constancy to go to the gym.
- The types of techniques you use in your routine exercises.
Is fatigue or tiredness a good or bad thing?
It depends … in principle, fatigue or tiredness will be a mechanism (signal) of protection and defense of the organism of our body (it will be warning us). Therefore, it will be activated before the damage of certain organic and cellular functions, preventing us from physical and metal wear.
Therefore, we cannot think of fatigue or tiredness as something detrimental to the organism, yes to performance , but not to the organism of the human body .
Final reflection
The review that science exposes us says that the reason for tiredness or fatigue is something very inaccurate, so it will not present a single and clear explanation. Being tiredness or fatigue a response of the human body that will tell us how we are adapting to our training routine.
We have seen how the sciences of physical activity and sports through the procedure of biomechanics. That it is an area of interdisciplinary knowledge that studies the natural phenomena that occur in the human body, as a consequence of the application of forces of diverse origin. And that also serves to measure performance according to the optimization of energy expenditure as well as its interactions. He explains mathematically that if we analyze the exercises in our training routines, these are an indicator of fatigue or tiredness because the decrease in strength during execution is preceded by an involuntary decrease in speed. Being regardless of whether or not the intensity that the effort supposes during the execution of the exercises can be maintained or not. Which translates into a lack of strength at the level required by our physical condition when training with certain weights with which we have trained in previous sessions. It would also be the impossibility of generating an effort in the next sessions of our training routine in which we seek to overcome the weights of the previous sessions but we do not meet this objective of increasing the load (weight).
Therefore, we have seen and found out. What fatigue or tiredness will be a “signal” that serves as a mechanism (by way) of “protection and defense” related to the functioning and functions of the “organism” of our body . And that will be an indicator of how we are adapting to our training routine.
