Module 2: Set Fitness Goal Flashcards
This principle pertains to doing “more than normal” for improvement to happen. It
means to boost our fitness, strength, or endurance. The workload is extended
accordingly. Applying these training principles will cause long-term adaptations,
enabling the body to figure more efficiently to deal with higher levels of performance.
Overload Principle
To ensure that the results will still improve over time, the adapted workload
should be continually increased.
Principle of Progression
A gradual and systematic increase within the
workload over a period of time will lead to improvement in fitness without risk of
injury.
Principle of Progression
stresses the requirement for correct rest and
recovery. Continual stress on the body and constant overload will lead to exhaustion
and injury. You ought not to train hard all the time, as you’ll risk overtraining and
a decrease in fitness.
Principle of Progression
“Practice makes perfect.”
Principle of Specificity
states that exercising a specific
piece or component of the body primarily develops that part.
Principle of Specificity
implies that to become better at a selected exercise or skill, you need to
perform that exercise or skill. For example, a cyclist should be trained in cycling and
a runner should be trained in running. Use the acceptable sort of exercise that
directly improves your target muscles.
Principle of Specificity
Development of muscles will happen if regular movement and execution are
completed. If activity ceases, it will be reversed.
Principle of Reversibility
implies that the detraining effect will be reversed once training is resumed.
Principle of Reversibility
Extended rest periods reduce fitness and therefore the physiological effects diminish
over time which throws the body back to its pre-training condition.
Principle of Reversibility
The effect of training will be lost if the training is discontinued.
