DETRAINING Meaning and
Definition
-
Detraining is a term commonly used in the context of exercise and fitness, referring to the process of losing the physical adaptations gained from a training program when training stimulus is reduced or completely stopped. It is the opposite of training, whereby the body undergoes a decline in performance and physiological adaptations due to a lack of exercise or decreased intensity and frequency of training sessions.
During detraining, the body gradually reverts to its pre-training state, as the various systems and components that were enhanced through training begin to regress. This reversal can affect multiple aspects of physical fitness, including cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, power, flexibility, and muscular endurance.
The rate and extent of detraining depend on several factors such as the initial level of fitness, the duration and intensity of the training program, and the duration and intensity of the detraining period. Generally, the longer the detraining period, the greater the decline in fitness levels.
Detraining can occur due to several reasons, including injury, illness, psychological factors, or simply a break from regular exercise routine. It is important to note that detraining is a natural process that occurs when the body is not exposed to regular physical challenges. To minimize the negative effects of detraining, it is recommended to engage in maintenance exercises or activities during periods of reduced training load, to at least partially preserve the achieved fitness levels.
Etymology of DETRAINING
The word "detraining" is derived from the combination of two root words: "de-" and "training".
- The prefix "de-" is a commonly used prefix in English, derived from the Latin prefix "de" meaning "down" or "away". In this context, it indicates reversal or removal. It is often used to form verbs that have the sense of negation, removal, or reduction.
- The root word "training" comes from the Old French word "traïner" or "train" which means "to drag" or "to draw". Over time, it developed to mean "to teach" or "to discipline". In the context of "detraining", the word refers to the process of reversing or reducing the effects of training or the loss of training adaptations.
