Exercise Recovery Goals
Body'Fit pH Fitness™ (short form.. pHx™), as true debt-free aerobic cardio, provides sports trainers with an exercise health tool for fast repair of perennial training limitors such as: muscle fatique, respiratory infection, and exhaustion. Athletic overtraining and over-reaching recovery protocol must address hypothalamus dysfunction from repeated stress (the most widely accepted explanation for overtraining), as well as psychological, endocrinological, physiological and immunological factors that slow recovery. By mitigating pain and fatique incumbent to failure to adequately recover from training, Body'Fit pH Fitness™ exercise is a system that facilitates, with a most economical movement of total body musculature, a healthy metabolic pH in minutes instead of hours, for fast regeneration. Restoring acid base equilibrium this fast with compression of aerobic cardio that peaks metabolism in all body tissues, improves psychological, endocrinological, physiological and immunlogical symptoms. Alternately put, by equipping exercise design with elements significant to these factors enables the restoration of a normal alkaline pH balance at Peak Metabolic Potential PMP™ within 5-15 minutes before and after an exercise workout or sports training. (It also works very well for jet lag.)

It's one thing for the body to become acidic as a result of poor diet or psychological stress during rest, it's another to acidify the pH under conditions of accelerated metabolism when the potential for damage is that much greater, especially if exercise recovery is incomplete. Although lactic acid does not directly cause sore muscles resulting from catabolic adaptation to training, unmetabolized lactic acid disassoicates into H+ causes the pH imbalance that typically occurs during exercise. In the short term this helps the muscles to adapt, however proteins require a healthy alkline pH to maintain their shape and function. As building blocks, proteins are essential for immunlogical and endrocinological health. Acidity impacts both physiological and psychological balance since it affects the electric action potential of nerve cells. From post exercise microtrauma of muscle fibers to the profile of mood state (POMS) privy to overreaching and overtraining, the low stress Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise provides a real solution.

Fitness Training Method
Overtraining is characterized by premature fatique, declining performance, mood changes, emotional instability, and decreased motivation (all the symptoms responding favorably to the Body'Fit pHx warmup cool down). While overreaching is considered chiefly due to insufficient metabolic recovery, systemic overtraining at the other end of the continum extreme has been classified into a sympathetic and parasympathetic form. The sympathetic form is dominant in the early stages of overtraining, with a marked dominance of the parasympathetic system in the more advanced stages. Consequent to designing an aerobic cardio warm-up cool down that speeds recovery of acid base equilibrium for exercise health, Body'Fit Life™ paid careful attention to sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system balance. Initiating controlled stimulation of the sympathetic system while simultaneously triggering adenosine release in the abdomen, converts deep vessel constriction by adrenaline into dilation. Subsequent activation of the parasympathetic nerves in the cervical and pelvic spine in the proper sequence produces the desired observed preventative result for overtraining. Neural system balance is followed by simultaneous activation of the upper and lower limbs providing the anatomical support for sustainable physicological integration of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise is thereby useful in fast recovery from the symptoms of hyperexcitability, restlessness, and performance incompetence in sympathetic dominance, and the symptoms of fatique and apathy in parasympathetic dominance.

Evidence shows that intense, heavy exercise increases the incidence of infection. A correlation has been shown between the rate of upper respiratory tract infections and the level of fitness of the athlete, degree of intensity of exercise, higher training mileage, and following marathon runs. Factors reported to be associated with this finding include raised cortisol levels, reduced salivary immunoglobulin levels, and low glutamine levels. Glutamine in an essential amino acid for rapidly dividing cells such as lymphocytes, and was found to be deficient in overtrained athletes, and significantly reduced following hard training efforts. It has been suggested that low plasma glutamine levels associated with intense training and overtraining may compromise lymphocyte function and that this may be related to an increased incidence of infection. In the interest of protecting pH-dependent proteins, a true pH fit adheres to natural laws for fast circulation increase to all tissues in the optimal sequence to address the physiological needs of the body during exercise at all degrees of performance. That such is the case with the Body'Fit aerobic cardio warm-up cool down is seen by the enabling of immunlogical response when performed immediately before and after sports training.

The gradual transition from over-reaching to systemic overtraining is attributed to the failure of the hypothalamus to cope with the total stress placed on the body. The hypothalamus is responsible for integration and control of the endocrine and autonomic nervous systems. Support of hypothalamus function is in line with how Body'Fit pH Fitness enables body resilience to the stresses of training placed upon it. The regulatory response of the hypothalamus is expressed via the endocrine system, the autonomic nervous system, and behaviour. Body'Fit pH Fitness approaches the development of exercise technique from each of these aspects making it a particularily useful adjunct to sports training with regards to overtraining and over-reaching recovery.

Exercise Health
The Body'Fit pH Fitness routine consists of 24 exercises which balance all muscles through their range of movement in 5-15 minutes. They are designed to relate to the five anatomical cavities in a specific sequence of 5 series which move each spinal segment. The first two series (dorsal and abdominal) plus the last exercise in the routine are designed to awaken the hypothalamus, the control center for the endocrine plexus corresponding to the anatomical cavities. Several techniques are employed in order to heighten metabolic activity in the cranial cavity including but not limited to: centrifugal force generated by pendular movements used to pull additional blood circulation into the brain and increase speed of blood flow, weight-bearing stimulation on neuro-lymphatic points specifically aimed at awakening the hypothalamus, body positions to increase blood pressure in the cranium, and the deliberate engineering of adenosine release with sudden compression of the abdomen to open up deep vessels.

The third series continues to stimulate neuro-lymphatic points equilibriating flow of lymph in both muscle and deep tissue building electrolyte reserves for fast metabolic recovery. Additionally, metabolism of ATP is balanced through stimulation of the thyroid and parathyroid glands (Short-term over-reaching is thought to be associated with insufficient metabolic recovery resulting in a decline in ATP levels. When high intensity exercise is performed in a glycogen-depleted state, this may lead to an imbalance between ATP splitting and ATP regeneration. Hence, over-reaching is thought to be related to insufficient metabolic recovery). Thus, together with movement of thoracic vertebrae to optimize immunlogical function of the thymus gland, heightened cardiac output further improves on maximal power output, oxygen uptake, and deep body oxygen reserves for post exercise recovery. No sub-maximum VO2 and heart rate is observed with the inclusion of the Body'Fit pHx warm-up in a training schedule. And heart rate takes a shorter time than normal to return to the resting level following exercise. The fourth and fifth series (cranial sacral) which stimulate the neural plexus of the parasypathetic nervous system, are optimally placed in the sequence to balance stimulation of the sympathetic plexus and prevent system dominance.

Hypothosis Conclusion
Training alone is not considered the primary cause of overtraining, rather its thought to be the total amount of stress on the athlete. Sympathetic overtraining is assumed to be primarily the consequence of inappropriately intensive training sessions, however non-training related stress factors may play more of a role especially as overtraining symptoms start to affect life both on and off the field. Parasympathetic overtraining is assumed to be the consequence of an imbalance between long-term inappropriately high training volume, and too little time for regeneration, as well as non-training related stress factors. In light of this, the efficacy of Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise in facilitating recovery from over-reaching and overtraining symptoms is not only it's ability to balance the nervous system. It's function in relieving stress whether it's related to training or to non-training factors plays an equally important role due to the sustainable nature of 100% aerobic cardio. Chemical imbalance in the body as a result of pH acidity during training accentuates depression and ill-humor just as an imbalance towards alkalinity results in hyperactive over exhileration where energy is not efficiently utilized. Fast integration of all organ systems in the five anatomical cavities with a pH balanced warm-up cool down under conditions of accelerated metabolism immediately before and after training, can help to alleviate much of the psychological stress althetes experience.
