Gradually increasing the amount of overload so as to gain fitness without the risk of injury
Define individual needs

Define frequency
How often someone trains over a 7 day period
Define intensity
How hard someone trains measured by a percentage
Definte time
How long each training session must last in ordernto be of any benefit and to achieve improvement
Define type
To select the most appropriate method of training to achieve a goal
What is an example of specificity
For a cm in football you will have to concentrate of increasing speed or cardiovascular fitness
What is an example of profressive overload
For weight training you can go from 60% of your one rep max in one week to 70% of your one rep the next week
What is an example of individual meeds
An extreme athlete cant give a begunner their training programme because it will be too instense and be demotivating

What is an example of time
Ipif you want to uncrease your cardiovascular fitness you have to be in the target zone of at least 20 minutes. Marathon runner spend at least 2 hours running per session
What is an example of type
Sprinters training specifically to improve their speed would use interval training. A long distance runner would use continous training to improve cardiovascular fitness
What is a Training threshold
