What is the Supercompensation Model in training?

A

The Supercompensation Model outlines the process of training-induced adaptation: it starts with applying a training stimulus, leading to fatigue, followed by recovery, and then supercompensation, where the athlete's capacity temporarily exceeds their baseline. This model emphasizes that without adequate recovery, training leads to consistent fatigue and declining performance, rather than the intended adaptations.

This is one answer. The complete system — the psychology, the biology, and the method — is in the book.
