Questions and Answers

What does the principle of overload imply for improvement in physical activity?

  • Focus on recovery rather than training intensity.
  • Maintaining a consistent workload is sufficient.
  • Training at normal levels suffices for improvement.
  • Increasing the workload beyond normal is necessary. (correct)

How does the principle of specificity affect exercise training?

  • Rest periods are crucial for muscle development.
  • All exercises improve overall fitness equally.
  • Variety in workouts leads to faster improvements.
  • Specific exercises develop specific body parts. (correct)

What is the major consequence stated in the principle of reversibility?

  • Fitness gains are permanent once achieved.
  • Improved fitness lasts indefinitely regardless of activity level.
  • Maintenance workouts are unnecessary for keeping fitness.
  • Ceasing activity leads to a loss of fitness over time. (correct)

Principle of Overload

Doing more than normal to improve fitness. Increasing workload for long-term adaptation.

Principle of Progressive Overload

Gradually increasing the workload over time to continue improving fitness.

Principle of Specificity

Training a specific body part or skill will primarily improve that part/skill.

Vigorous Intensity Exercise

Physical activity that significantly increases heart rate and causes sweating.

Training Principle: Overload

The principle of overload suggests that to improve your fitness, you need to push yourself beyond your normal limits. Think of it like lifting heavier weights, running farther, or doing more reps than usual. This challenges your body, leading to adaptations that make you stronger and fitter.

Training Principle: Progressive Overload

This principle suggests that to continue improving, you need to gradually increase the demands of your training over time. You won't keep getting stronger if you always do the same exercises at the same intensity. You need to gradually increase the workload to continue seeing results.

Training Principle: Specificity

This principle emphasizes that training for a specific activity or skill will mainly improve that specific area. If you want to get better at running, you need to run. If you want to build stronger arms, you need to work your arm muscles.

Training Principle: Reversibility

The principle of reversibility highlights that the fitness gains you achieve through training are not permanent. They are temporary and will fade if you stop exercising regularly. Think of it like muscle atrophy, where muscles shrink due to inactivity.

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.
