Resistance Training Biofeedback involves the organism’s perception and subsequent physiological reaction to the imposed mechanical and metabolic stress of lifting or resisting external loads. This feedback loop encompasses acute hormonal surges, such as transient elevations in testosterone or growth hormone, and subsequent metabolic shifts that inform future adaptation. Recognizing this biofeedback is essential for optimizing training stimulus relative to recovery capacity. We observe the body’s real-time response to controlled overload.
Origin
This combines ‘resistance training,’ the specific physical stimulus, with ‘biofeedback,’ the biological response that informs subsequent action. It directly addresses the communication between musculoskeletal exertion and the systemic regulatory apparatus.
Mechanism
During high-intensity resistance exercise, muscle damage and metabolic acidosis trigger the release of signaling molecules that communicate this need for repair and growth to the endocrine system. The resulting hormonal profile, including transient elevations in anabolic hormones and reductions in catabolic hormones, acts as internal feedback. This feedback dictates the adaptive trajectory of muscle tissue remodeling post-exercise.
