A Model for Sustainable Performance Progress

Framework Overview
This model describes how performance improves over time through repeated exposure to manageable training stress followed by sufficient recovery and adaptation.

Core Elements

• Progressive overload within adaptive capacity
  
  

• Consistent exposure rather than sporadic intensity
  
  

• Planned variation to reduce stagnation
  
  

Failure Modes
Progress stalls when load increases faster than recovery or when training variability replaces consistency.

Application
Performance progress is optimized by maintaining repeatability and avoiding abrupt escalation in stress.

Key Takeaway
Sustainable progress is built through accumulation, not acceleration.
