8) Principles of training

Question 1

SPOV

Answer 1

Specificity - Training must be relevant to the individual and their sport

Progression - Training frequency, intensity, time, or type must be increased over training period

Overload - Pushing your body over the threshold

Variance - Changing the exercises up, preventing boredom

Question 2

FITT

Answer 2

Frequency is increased by training a greater number of times each week.

Intensity is increased by lifting a greater resistance, such as with weight training, or by training at a higher percentage of maximum heart rate.

Time can be manipulated by training for longer, reducing recovery times or by completing a greater number of sets or reps
