The Supercompensation Curve


For this weeks blog we are going to take a look at a theory of training that was first introduced by Nikolai Jakowlew in 1976. We are going to do this by trying to interpret the graph above. One of our school initiatives this year is to analyze and interpret complex text. In physical education, charts, graphs and performances can all be considered text.

For this weeks blog, I want you to analyze the graph above an answer the following questions.

Based on what you have learned in weight training so far this year, I want you to explain what this graph means to you and how it can be used to plan your training sessions.

Your comment will not post to the blog this week but will be sent to me so that I can review all of responses before posting at the end of the week.

  1. The graph for me means that, after the initial workout period, there's time of rest, where you only work on mobilization and stretching. Then after that you have a period where you train harder than ever, then you return to your initlal intensity.
    Since I want to work on my deadlift, I need a time where I don't work on deadlift as much and work on other things during my rest period, then work only on deaflift to improve my max.

  2. This graph means that the muscle first breaks down but then, quickly rebuilds and gets stronger. I can use this graph to do my bench press since iwant to improve it.

  3. this graph means that a person before they start their training is at a level of their basic preformance, but as they continue to train harder their prefomence decreased due to exhaustion, but at the end of the training ( after a day or two, not instantly) the body will have accomplished and gained more physical ability

  4. At first there is starting level of performance. Then during the training section the the performance gets less and less. After the recovery time which is about 2-3 days there is super-compensation which is steadily rising each day having more and more performance and then steadily dropping back to the initial level.

  5. the graph says that the who works out will seem to have no progress, but after you give the musciles time to rest next time the person works out he will have a much greater result than before

  6. Nikolai Jakowlew's theory is that everyone has their basic level of fitness, and after a training session, they are notably weaker and need time to relax so they can return to their basic level of fitness. The time of recovery is about two to three days, and then the return to the basic level of fitness is another three, but this time the basic level is slightly higher, due to increased work and skills. If we apply this graph to our training sessions, we can map out a work-out schedule that keeps us active while also having a training session that will allow us to improve our overall performance and skill level.

  7. The supercompensation graph shows the decline or improvement in a person's fitness level. It is composed of 4 sections: Before training, training, recovery, and supercompensition. The before training can also be considered as the person's initial fitness, then comes the training in which the person tries to exhaust their muscles, so that in the recovery period, they recover and become even stronger than the last time, as shown by super composition. This can be used to plan training sessions since it shows how a person can plan out their workout and become stronger each time, which means straining their muscles, relaxing them, and then working until you can repeat the process.

  8. After a training session, the body will become tired and will be unable to perform at a regular level. However, after a few days of recovery, the body will feel the need to supercompensate and thus the body will become stronger. This cycle will continue until no further workouts are done, at which point the body will revert to the initial performance level.
    This can be applied to me because I will need to take days of rest after workouts to ensure that the supercompensation period occurs, and to continue to work my body out afterwards to become even fitter.

  9. This graph means that when you exercise you are breaking down muscles and exhausting them so it needs sometime to recover and grow. This could be used to help plan training sessions so that you aren't over training your muscles.

  10. To me, this graph means several things. First, it shows that during our training, the time when we are actually working out, our level of performance rapidly decreases as our muscles begin to fatigue. Once the workout is over, our muscles go into a recovery period, where they begin to build backup stronger than before. Because of this, after the 2-3 day recovery period we may be able to perform at a higher level than before the workout. Finally, after around 5-6 days after the workout, we return to our initial level of performance. So, the week or so between workouts of specific muscles is like a curve. It first dives down but then starts to gradually increase, often times reaching much higher heights than when it began. However, after some time, the curve once again dips down and we return to around where we started.
    This can be very helpful in planning my training sessions as it helps to know the time I should wait before exercising the same muscle. For example, if I work my shoulders one day, I need to wait around 5 days before working them again, so as to allow my muscles to rebuild after tearing them down.

  11. According to the graph, the body's performance level is affected when it is trained. When you do a workout or training session, you break down your muscle fibers, which in turn causes your athletic performance to drop during the workout. Then, during your recovery, your body compensates for the muscles that were broken down by repairing them to a point where they can perform better than originally before. However, if the muscles are not broken down again after recovery, the body sees no need to keep the muscles stronger, and returns them to their original performance level, using those proteins for some other purpose within the body.

  14. The graph is showing first your prior ability, then trainging, which I am currently in this class. I am trying to get stronger so I am wokring with bigger weights with small reps. After lifting weights, I need to give my muscles a break,so i lift smaller weights or do different excersises.Then after rest my muscles are ready to lift again. This grapgh accurately represents how i am working in this class to achieve my goak of strength.

  15. The initial level of performance is a constant medium, not too high and not too low. as training increases, the muscles become tired and performance decreases, but after recovering for a couple of days, supercompensation of performance (really really good performance) occurs. This can help us to continue training hard and to know that even though we are tired, after resting our performance will increase by a lot.

  18. This graph shows how much time it takes do recover from a workout. During the training session muscles are going to get tired, so they will not be at the initial ability. It will take about 2-3 days to get back to and exceed the initial ability, but then about 3 days later it will go beck to the initial ability. For my training this means I cannot take more than 2-3 days for recovery. If my recovery time is too long my muscles will not stronger.

  19. The graph shows that after working a muscle group, it takes 2-3 days to recover from the workout (during which you should not be working those muscles-- that would put strain on them and potentially stunt their muscular growth/endurance/recovery time longterm). It also shows that the optimal time period to workout a group of muscles is 3 days after recovery (5-6 days after the initial training session) during supercompensation, which is when the body prepares itself for an even tougher workout and is able to bear more weight with good form than before. If nothing is done after supercompensation, the body's ability to lift large amounts of weight goes back to its initial capacity.
    This means that in order to lift weights and increase in strength as safely and efficiently as possible, I should focus on working a couple of closely related muscle groups a day (e.g. do back squat and deadlift) come back to those lifts 5-6 days later (in the next week, most likely). It seems like things would probably have to overlap though...lots of planning involved

  20. The graph above shows the training session and when your recovery time comes around you the muscle that your worked out on during the training session builds. This can be used to plan my training session because if I keep on working the same muscles than they can die. I need to change which area I work on each day.

  21. The graph shows that after your training session, your level of performance ability will decrease but as you take some time off to recover, you grow and are able to perform better than you could initially, which is called the supercompensation curve. I will use this graph as an example for me so that when I'm planning out my training sessions, I will plan to go hard after a little time off recovering which will increase my level of performance ability compared to going hard every day which just makes your muscles tired.

  22. The graph shows that my performance is greatest 2-3 days after a workout, so I should workout most intensely a few days before a game, and then do light workouts the day before and of a game. According to the graph, this well lead to augmented performance abilities.

  25. The initial performance is followed by a period of rest, so the muscles can heal themselves. Then, a moderate workout to work on form, followed by EXTREME strength training to gain, well, muscle. And then a gradual decline back to a moderate workout.

  26. This graph represents a workout of all different types of activities. As you train the more time you expand on training the more time you will need to recover. Your body can only intake so much training and changes to it as you go on in your workout. In my workout sessions I would want to start out doing hard and complex things such as running or doing a metcon. For example, if I start out on a Monday and I do a mile of running, my body will need to recover due to the hard training so over the course of the week I will do easier things day by day to help recover from the hard training session. And at the end of the week I will be all normal so that the next week I can start to do more complex workouts.

  27. Basically, the graphs says that your initial level of performance is constant for a while and after continuous training for a couple of weeks you need a while to recover. Finally after recovering you have more strength than when you began with. I can use this when trying to gain muscle. i can use the same constant weight for a while and then increase weight. Then have a recovery time and finally should end up having more muscle than when i started with.

  28. What this graph means to me is that during training, your level of performance goes down. After, your level of performance shoots up. This high point is called Supercompensation. We can plan our training sessions by finding out this supercompensation point and training at our highest level of performance

  29. Initially, ones performance level will be constant before a heavy workout (Straight, constant line). Once training sessions begin, the performance level will decrease drastically within a short period of time due to working out the targeted muscles (large negative slope). After the training sessions, recovery time will allow ones body to repair itself for 2-3 days and then overcompensate occurs. During overcompensation ones body's muscles will store higher than normal amounts of glycogen in order to synthesize new proteins to build up more muscles.

  30. This graph represents the original amount of strength someone has in some muscle or muscles at the beginning. Then during the workout the muscle breaks down getting weaker. In the next 2-3 days after the workout the muscle rebuilds and becomes stronger than the original performance level than before the workout. After 3 more days from the increase in muscle strength the muscle will go back to the original level of performance if the you don't workout again.

  31. This graph illustrates the process of athletic improvement. In order to improve, one must train and take days to recover in order to reach super compensation. However, if one does not continue to train after their resting period, they will return to where they started. Usually I make the mistake of doing an intense workout and rest for more than the suggested recovery time. I need to regularly plan my workout sessions right after my resting days if I want to move beyond my current fitness level.

  32. I can use the curve to ensure maximum strength building. I can plan my workouts so that I work one muscle, fully exhaust it, and then work other muscle groups during the recovery period. After the recovery period I will be able to utilize the gained strength to lift more weight so each I exhaust the muscle I am gaining more and more strength.

  33. The grpah means that when you work out your muscle degrades and after you work out your muscle needs time to recover to grow. The sudden increase on the graph is the increase in the growth of muscle after the rest. This graph will help for my training session for it will direct me to gain more muscle more effectively.

  34. In the graph it's telling you that during your workout your muscle is decreasing throughout the workout. But after your trainning session your muscle will increase because it need time to recover. The hill on the graph is showing the muscle increase as you recover. This will help my trainning because now as i recover my muscle will grow.

    As you do a workout, between sets you must rest so your muscels dont get too worn out and you cant finish your reps. 2-3 days should be the max yupo workout in a row. You must take days of active rest so you can build muscel.

  37. The graph, to me, shows how you should look going into training, will in training, and then coming out. It also shows how after a couple of days of training your performance level should be increased above average, before going back down.

  38. after a work out it takes 2 to 3 days to fully recover and gain muscle.at this point you are higher then your initial level, it takes another 3 days to then return back to the initial level of performance ability. the super compensation is that time then you are above your initial level.this graph shows that you can plan a workout with exercising one muscle hard, and within the next few days exercise another muscle to compensate for the muscle that is still recovering.

  39. This graph means that there is a window of time (3-5 days after training) where one can improve their capability and become more fit with a certain muscle group by exercising it again. I will take this into account when planning my weight training by making sure that I exercise the same muscle group or area every 3-5 days.

    Since after you exercise a muscle group it is in recovery for 2-3 days, you want to exercise another muscle group and return to the initial one when it has recovered and is at the peak of the curve. That way you get the most out of your work out.

    What it means to me is that is why we have leg days, chest days, etc, so that we always have a muscle group that we are working on, and one that we come back to after its recovered.

  41. Supercompensation is when you gain sports performance after working out. However, during the training, you will be under performing and weak because your body needs to repair your muscles.

  43. This means that after a workout your body decreases in fitness temporarily and then recovers but recovers extra in anticipation for the next workout.

    So if I do a workout I need to give my body some time to recover and then while it is at it's peak of super compensation do another workout when it is most fit

  45. Based on the chart, a person starts out with a neutral, normal level of ability. Then, when the slope sharply turns negative, a person is experiencing physical activity that is more advanced than his norm. After the stressful exercise on the body, it needs to rest for a few days and recover doing light physical activities. Then, when the body is ready again to perform, he should get involved in a more rigorous workout to develop a tolerance. The tolerance is eventually developed, which is where the graph returns to the normal x-axis.
    This related to when I do strenuous activity and then am able to rest for some time (the Rest Days). I notice that as a result I truly am able to get stronger.

  47. The flat line is the initial level of proformence ability the line going down is exersizing a certin muscle group. The line below time is the rest days after the exersize. You should rest 2-3 days. After the tow to threes days you should redo the exersize on the same muscle group this will help build those muscles. An example is bench press on monday, rest tuesday, and wensday. Then on thursday bench again.

  49. The supercompensation curve can be used to plan your training sessions. You first get tired, the you recover, then you super compensate and then you return to your baseline. you can get better at training, but not right away. Continue your training or your capacity decreases and you get out of shape. I need to make sure that I recover between workouts so I am free from pain and my energy and strength increases.

  54. The graph has classified the fitness level of a human body into four different sections: initial ability, training session, recovery, and supercompensation.

    Before training, the human body has a base level of fitness. Upon entering the training period, the level of fitness decreases. After training the body enters the recovering period, which level of body fitness will increase up to the basic level. The human body will adjust itself to a higher level of fitness. However, it does not stop at the initial fitness level, instead it will continue to increase, and enters the supercompensation stage, which the level of fitness surpasses the initial fitness level. If no further workouts is done during the supercompensation level, the body will slowly go back to the first level. In order to continue increasing our body fitness level, it is necessary to increase the amount and complexity of our workout program.

  55. During the time of a training session, the level of performance is lower than the initial level of performance because as you work out, the ability to do that one thing weakens and slowly wears out. However, after a 2-3 day rest, your initial performance increases drastically hence the term, "compensation."

  56. I'm not exactly sure but i think the body overcompensates to get back to the baseline of performance so it exceeds that. SO in terms of training i could work out the firsdt day use the recovery time and then push myself further the next day.

  57. The graph means (to at least me) that for about 2-3 one does a medium type of workout, then does a supper hard workout for one day, then does a casual workout 5-6 days to get back to the medium . Using this information I believe I should try to do a really intense workout one day and the try to get back to my medium with the remaining days

  58. The beginning of the chart is how well an athlete can perform. During the training session, the body is worn out, and broken in a significant manner. During the recovery time, the body gets ready for the next work out, your body will feel the need to adjust itself to a higher level of fitness in anticipation of the next training session. If there are no further workouts, the body's fitness level will slowly decline back towards the initial fitness level.

  59. To me, this graph means that your body needs time to recover after a workout. If you keep working the same muscle group without a sufficient rest period in between, you will lose strength because your muscles won't properly recover.

  60. You begin with a set capability at a certain exercise. You train. During the training session, you begin to weaken and your initial capability decreases. After the workout, during the recovery time and the returning to initial capability stage, your body undergoes a period where you "supercompensate" for the damage to your muscles and are capable of doing more than what you initially could. After a while, you will return to your original state. Therefore, as you recover, you should not work the same muscles again during the supercompensation period and instead work on something else.

  61. I think the graph shows that immediately after training youre strength/ muscle tissue is hurt and cannot function well, then after 2 to 3 days of rest, you recreate more muscle tissue, thus catapulting you into supercompensation, where youre muscles are grown and are ripe to be strengthened further. Though, if you wait too long to excersise again, youre muscles will deteriorate down to its previous strength

    This can help our class by telling us when to excersise for the maximum benefit of our bodies

  62. Supercompensation is the post training period in which the trained muscles group has a higher performance capacity then it did prior to training. After a workout your muscles are exhausted and are trying to replenish all of the nutrients that were lost during the workout. If you were to workout those same muscles directly following a previous workout of those same muscle groups your muscles would not me at a very high performance capacity. After a workout there is a period of recovery which is directly after a workout and the a supercompensation period which is a period in which you have a higher performance capacity. The key is to workout those same muscles during that supercompensation period and not during the recovery or after you have returned to that initial level of performance capacity. The way I could apply this to my plan my training sessions is to make a schedule in which I do not do cardiovascular day after day or don't do bench press every single consecutive day. But to make a workout plan that allows recovery time for those muscles but not to much time so that I workout those muscles when they are in supercompensation period.

  63. I think that the graph shows that once your muscles rip and begin to rebuild there is a small period of time where your muscles need a rest to fully develop. They need time to fully heal their rips which means you can't work out every single day. If you work out every other day you work them out in their supercompensation period.

  66. When you begin your training you have an initial fittness level that determines your abilities for the different workouts. Over time these workouts excercise key muscles and your abilities go down. This is because your body needs time to vrest. After a period of rest the knew and improved muscle allows you to do more. This continues as a cycle. This means to me that I need to work out often but set a certain amount of time for rest and muscle generation to increase my abilities in many exercises.

It is important to have a rest period because it gives your muscles the proper rest so they can recover and rebuild strenth for the next training. If you do not have a rest period you rmuscles will recieve no rest and become tired so they will not be able to perform at the highest level.

During and after their workout, for the next 2 or 3 days one's physical ability and endurance decrease because the muslces need time to recover. After that period there are approximately 3 days in which the body supercompensates and one has the ability to lift heavier weights for a longer period of time. Afterwards one returns to their normal physical capacity.This graph can help you plan your workout, as you know that if you plan to work on you ab strength then you would work intensely on that area for one day, then participate insome active rest exercises for the next 2 or 3 and then participate in the workout once again.

  75. One sets a schedule and trains for a certain time period. After that time, there is a rest period of a few days. In those days the weakened and cut down muscles recover and rest. After that, the muscles are now stronger and fuller, after the initial workout. Then the body can be worked again, to strengthen the other muscles or build up on the same muscles. But, it should not be so much as to over work the muscles. I could use this plan to control what I what out on and which muscles I use for how long.

  76. The graph means that for about 2-3 one does a medium type of workout, then does a high workout for one day, then does a normal workout 5-6 days to get back to the medium . Using this information I believe I should try to do a really intense workout one day and the try to get back to my medium with the remaining days

  77. From the graph, I can analyze that after working out, my performance during the next several days will be less because of recovery. However, during the super compensation phase my performance will be greater. Concluding that it is best to rest the muscles that were worked out for several days and then hit those same muscles during the super compensation phase for greater results.

  78. I think that the straight line is your initial level, then when you work out a certain muscle group, your muscles are stressed and need time to recover. by resting that muscle group for 2-3 days, you will get the best results, and you will strain your muscles less. after 2-3 days, you can do the original exercise again, repeating the process.

  79. The graph demonstrates the needed rest period after a hard intense workout. It shows that the rest and stretching period is just as important as the actual workout it self and that continuous stress on the same muscles over a long period of time will yield little gains. I can use this to increase my lifting maxes in all categories and balance out a weekly schedule in order to follow the graph.

  80. It starts as a base line then as you work out your mussels futeag then they regenerate and become bigger and you start to futeag once you start again

  81. The line represents a baseline and as it goes down your muscles get fatigued and as it goes up your muscle regenerate

  82. The graph shows how your muscles have been damaged and how much you need to heal from that. This explains that if i want to improve on benchpress i should try something else or rest so i can reach and pass my max.

  83. The graph shows the starting point in which the body is at rest. When you suddenly start to exercise, your muscles start to tear and weaken. As you rest your muscles band back together and regenerate. Now you are at your strongest point. But if you rest to long, your body will return back to its original state.

    When in proving bench press, I have to do other workouts in between each set to get the full workout.

  84. When you begin your training you have an initial fittness level that determines your abilities for the different workouts. Over time these workouts excercise key muscles and your abilities go down. This is because your body needs time to vrest. After a period of rest the knew and improved muscle allows you to do more. This continues as a cycle. This means to me that I need to work out often but set a certain amount of time for rest and muscle generation to increase my abilities in many exercises.

  85. To me this graph means u start at a certain level. Then after you work out your muscles will need 2-3 days to recover. then your muscles will usually be stronger. then you work out again and slowly you get stronger and stronger. However if you do not work out hard enough or if you work out to hard to often you will not see good results. I believe that i should be doing the same lift or lifts that work a certain body part every couple days. This will help me get stronger in those areas.

  86. The initial time means that what your ability you can take. Training session means what your goal is. the recovery time is basically when you rest for 2-3 days.

  87. The graph shows the decline and improvement in a person's fitness level. It is composed of 4 sections: Before training, during training, recovery, and supercompensition. The before training can also be considered as the person's initial fitness, then comes the training in which the person tries to exhaust their muscles, so that in the recovery period, they recover and become even stronger than the last time, as shown by super composition. This can be used to plan training sessions since it shows how a person can plan out their workout and become stronger each time, which means straining their muscles, relaxing them, and then working until you can repeat the process.

  88. This graph is an example of how the muscles in the body start, progress, and finish throughout a period of time. It begins at a time of rest, where the person has not began training. Then the workout happens, and depending on how tough the workout was, the person begins their rest period. This graph is not for everybody, whereas some people may take longer to rest their body in order to come back in a better position. Once that recovery period is done, the muscles in the body that had broken down are supposed to come back to be stronger than before. This is the super compensation, where the athlete manages to develop their body rather than doing an every day exercise only tearing down the body. To help me plan my training sessions, this graph shows me that there is no purpose in repeatedly squatting every day to get stronger. It is a process that takes time and rest. Just like I can't keep running across the world without a break, my muscles can't grow without a break.

  89. The graph shows the average amount of time someone usually repairs after a training session of 2-3 days. At first, the initial level of performance ability is going at a constant pace due to how strong your muscles are currently. Then, as soon as the training session starts, your speed slows down because of how the muscles are getting used to the new routine. Then the super compensation comes along, which shows how a person can improve due to the amount of training is put in. I have learned that it takes time and practice to gain super compensation.

  90. The graph shows your m7uscles work time and then its time of rest and repair after strneous activity. For instance if I benc pressed on tuesday then took 2-3 days of rest off of that workout then on that third day when i came back to it my muscles would overcompansate to get back to that last baseline iof strengthnif you will. Then they would return to that baseline.

  91. The graph shows your intial workout and performance ability when you first begin working out. Then after your first workout, (the next day) shows that your intial workout ability goes down beccause your muscles are trying to recover from the workout. Working out destorys your muscles so the muscles are trying to repair themselves, thims impeads your ability to work out hard the next day which is showed buy the major drop om the graph. However, since your muscles recoverd, about 3 days later, your workout ability increases because the muscles have reapired themselves to becom more strong and last longer, this explains the major raise in the graph after the drop.
