Physical Fitness Training Principles Flashcards
What is the Principle of Adaptation as it relates to physical fitness?
By providing training stimulus for a body system slightly beyond its normal capacity, that system responds by expanding its capacity, becoming more able to perform with less effort.
What is the Principle of Overload Training?
Increasing the exercise overload on the body in manageable increments over time will elevate the fitness level with less chance of overuse or chronic injury.
What is the Principe of Progression as if relates to physical fitness?
Progression involves increasing or changing one or more of the exercise training components to promote adaptation.
What is tissue remodeling?
the process of change from pre-stimulus to post-stimulus; however, time must be allowed for tissue change to take place in order to avoid over-use injury.
What is the Principle of Specificity of Training?
The body adapts to specific exercise training stimulus with specific physical and physiological adaptations.
