Lesson 3 - SET FITNESS Flashcards
Increasing the number of times you train per week
Frequency
Increasing the problem of the exercise, for instance, running at 12 km/h rather than 10 or increasing the load you’re squatting with.
Intensity
Increasing the length of your training time for every session, for instance, cycling for 45 minutes rather than 30.
Time
Increase the intensity of the training. For instance, progress from walking to running
Type
To ensure that the results will still improve over time, the adapted workload should be continually increased.
Principle of Progression
This principle simply states that exercising a specific piece or component of the body primarily develops that part.
Principle of Specificity
Development of muscles will happen if regular movement and execution are completed. If activity ceases, it will be reversed. This shows that benefits and changes achieved from overload will last as long as training is continuous.
Principle of Reversibility
Number of meetings in a week
Frequency
Effort level of the exercise
Intensity
Period covered in an exercise session
Time
Kind of activity
Type
Three components of workout
warm-up, exercise load, and cool-down.
is essential after a workout as it permits the pre-exercise heart rate and blood pressure for a gradual recovery.
cool down
A _____________ is essential prior to the actual workload as it prepares the body for more strenuous activity. It increases the blood flow to the working muscles without an abrupt increase in lactic acid accumulation.
warm-up
