The Hybrid Adaptation Model

Framework Overview
The Hybrid Adaptation Model explains how strength and endurance adaptations coexist and interact within a single training system.

Primary Domains
The model includes three domains: strength development, aerobic development, and fatigue management. All three must remain in balance.

Adaptation Interaction
Strength and endurance adaptations draw from shared recovery resources. Excess emphasis on one domain reduces adaptation potential in the others.

Priority Cycling
Hybrid progress is best achieved by shifting emphasis over time while maintaining minimum effective doses across all domains.

Key Takeaway
Hybrid performance improves through balance and sequencing, not simultaneous maximization.
