ABSTRACT
Analysis of recovery processes after various exercises showed that restitution of the body's abilities is followed by a period of intensive adaptive protein synthesis and super compensation for energy stores. Consequently, the effect of a single exercise bout is not enough for achieving any training effects. Therefore, training effects can be achieved: if the exercises are repeated, and if they demand an extensive mobilization of the adaptation abilities of the organism. Differences in training effects suggest that in the training process the adaptive protein synthesis is utilized in many ways. The main locus of the adaptive protein synthesis varies between tissues and organs. Accordingly, there must be differences either in inductors of adaptive protein synthesis or in the mechanisms of recognition of inductors at the levels of genetic apparatus and gene expression. Specific activation of the genetic apparatus will be achieved if the related low molecular weight compounds are protein-specific fragments produced by protein degradation.
