Study Notes
Principles of Training
- Overload principle: Doing more than usual to improve performance. Increased workload leads to improved endurance and strength.
- Progressive overload principle: Gradually increasing the workload over time to continually improve fitness. This should be gradual and systematic.
- Specificity principle: Exercises target specific muscle groups or components. Training a specific area will improve performance in that area.
- Reversibility principle: If training stops, improvements in muscle development will be lost.
