Q

what are the principles of training?

A
individual needs 
specificity 
progressive overload 
overtraining 
reversibility
28
Q

what are the ways you can progressive overload

A

frequency-how often we train
intensity-how hard we train
time- how long we train
type-what type of training we do

29
Q

what is specificity?
