Fitness, biomechanics, MIDA, nutrition and AI terms explained.
Adaptation
MIDAAdaptation — lasting change in physiological parameters under training.
EN: Adaptation
Aero Dose
MIDAAerobic Dose
Aerobic dose — quantitative measure of aerobic load stimulating mitochondria (MX).
EN: Aero Dose
Anaerobic Threshold
MIDAAnaerobic threshold — intensity above which lactate accumulates faster than it is cleared.
EN: Anaerobic Threshold
H+ (Hydrogen Ions)
MIDAHydrogen Ions
Hydrogen ions — accumulate during anaerobic work, causing acidosis.
EN: H+ (Hydrogen Ions)
Hormone in Blood
Hormone concentration in the blood, transported to muscles.
EN: HB (Hormone in Blood)
Hormone in Gland
Hormone amount stored inside the endocrine gland.
EN: HG (Hormone in Gland)
Hormone in Muscle
Hormone delivered to the muscle, where it triggers protein synthesis and adaptation.
EN: HM (Hormone in Muscle)
Metabolic Stress
MIDAMetabolic stress — accumulation of metabolites (lactate, H+) during exercise.
EN: Metabolic Stress
MF (Myofibrils)
MIDAMyofibrils
Myofibrils — contractile elements of the muscle fibre; their mass determines strength.
EN: MF (Myofibrils)
MG (Endocrine Gland)
MIDAEndocrine Gland mass
Endocrine gland mass (e.g. adrenal glands) in the MIDA model.
EN: MG (Endocrine Gland)
Microcycle
MIDAMicrocycle — a short training block (usually a week) alternating loads and recovery.
EN: Microcycle
MIDA
MIDAModel of Imitation of Long-Term Adaptations
Mathematical model by Prof. V.N. Seluyanov for forecasting long-term muscle adaptations.
EN: MIDA
MX (Mitochondria)
MIDAMitochondria
Mitochondria — energy-producing cell structures; their mass determines endurance.
EN: MX (Mitochondria)
Occlusion
MIDABlood Flow Occlusion
Partial restriction of muscle blood flow to amplify metabolic stress.
EN: Occlusion
ProV
MIDAProphylactic Vibration
Prophylactic vibration — BMS applied for injury prevention and recovery.
EN: ProV
Reactive Hyperemia
MIDAReactive hyperemia — increased blood flow after releasing occlusion.
EN: Reactive Hyperemia
Seluyanov
MIDAV.N. Seluyanov
Prof. Viktor N. Seluyanov — author of the MIDA model and isometric-training theory.
EN: Seluyanov
Stress Dose
MIDAStress dose — quantitative measure of training load in the MIDA model.
EN: Stress Dose
Supercompensation
MIDASupercompensation — exceeding the baseline after recovery.
EN: Supercompensation
