In exercise science textbooks this is called the general adaptation syndrome. When you add a new stimulus such as strength training in season you might see gains followed by a short dip then adaptation before a decrease later on. This applies to in season training. Too many people focus on the narrow dip without seeing the benefits in phase three. Instead of worrying about the first couple of games focus on the adaptations made right as the playoffs begin. That’s where a good program backs off in order to not fatigue the athletes in phase 4. If done correctly the athletes should be peaking as playoffs begin.
