Q

what is progressive overload?

A
  • the planned, gradual increase in training load to ensure that fitness continues to be optimised
  • Applied once adaptation has occurred to a certain stimulus
  • Ensures that the training program produces chronic adaptations in the body and performance improvements
  • no overload = plateau
