G10 Fitness Activities Flashcards
This principle states that each one of us is unique by
gender, biological age, training age, body shape and sizes, race, and many more. For
example, if a person follows a training program and this person has improved a lot in
terms of strength. It doesn’t mean that another person can copy his program and gets
the same results
Principle of Individuality
In this principle, the training program should be specific to the
target muscle group. The exercises included in the training program should be specific
also to the movement of the sport or activity. For instance, if you are into the sport of
rowing, you should be using a rowing machine to mimic the movement of rowing a
boat
Principle of Specificity
From the root word “progress,” an individual should start
from the basic skills and gradual progress to a tougher training routine to reach a goal.
Example, a person may want to finish a marathon (43 km.). This individual should start
practicing from 3 km distance, then progress to 5km. After 5 km is 10 km until he
reaches his aim of 43km. This person must train for endurance.
Principle of Progression
This principle states that if an individual wants to achieve
progress, he must add intensity or frequency to the program.

stress.

lose what he started. This is the reason why athletes should do active recovery even if
