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.
