Principles of TrainingSPECIFICITY- The activity performed must be specific to the desired effect. An example, muscle strength training may not lead to flexibility; flexibility training may not help cardiovascular endurance. Also, each area of the body must be worked on specifically for strength, endurance, and flexibility. However, it is possible to design a program that improves more than one aspect at a time. Principles of TrainingOVERLOAD- In order to improvement in any area of fitness, the workload must be greater than that to which the individual is accustomed. REVERSIBILITY- "If you don't use it you lose it." With no training, the effects of training will be lost. This is called atrophy. PROGRESSION- The overload should be gradual and moderate within minimum and maximum limits to prevent soreness and injury.
Principles of TrainingREGULARITY --- F.I.T.T. The activity must be performed on a regular and frequent basis with an adequate amount of intensity and time in order for improvement to occur. Frequency---Exercise must be performed at least 3 times a week for improvement to be seen.Intensity-- You must continue to use the overload principle to see improvement. If exercise intensity is too low, no improvements will be made.Time-- You need to exercise at least 30 minutes at a time for maximum benefits.TypeThe exercise you choose to do.
