Selye presents the concept that the stress
cycle begins in the individual with an alarm reaction to some perceived
stress agent and then moves to a resistance stage and, finally, to a
stage of exhaustion. HIT advocates believe that the alarm reaction and the resistance
and musculoskeletal adaptation occur from one strength-training session
to the next. These substances, which include pet dander, certain foods, molds
and pollens, cause a false alarm reaction because your immune system
treats them as invaders, generating large amounts of the
disease-fighting protein immunoglobulin E, or IgE, a type of antibody. |
