Previous research has shown that individuals (and muscles) who possess a larger proportion of fast twitch muscle fibers are more likely to experience greater fa...tigue after a workout. This is because fast twitch fibers more easily experience myofibrillar damage and excitation-contraction coupling failure. This study extends those findings to show that individuals who possess a larger proportion of fast twitch muscle fibers are more likely to experience overreaching (and also fail to experience super-compensation) as a result of a block of higher volume endurance training. Although it is widely believed that overreaching is a useful training method to cause long-term performance improvements, increasing evidence suggests that it is merely the excessive accumulation of fatigue, and the factors that produce fatigue are not identical to those that produce adaptations. -------------------- #sandcresearch #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #strength #sportsscience #biomechanics #exercisescience #research #sciencetopractice #performance #science #bodybuilding #infographic #infographics #hypertrophy #muscledamage #fatigue #overreaching #overtraining #fasttwitch #musclefibertype #fibertype

STRENGTH VS HYPERTROPHY: Training for strength typically involves explosive movements with higher bar speeds compared to hypertrophy training. If strength is the goal, you might want to reconsider taking each set to fatigue.
