Specificity
Training should be relevant and appropriate to the sport for which the individual is training in order to produce the desired effect.
FITT Principle
An acronym that stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type; used to increase the amount of work the body does, in order to achieve overload.
Reversibility
Fitness gains are lost when you stop exercising, indicating that the effects of training are reversible.
Progressive Overload
Gradually increasing the intensity, frequency, or duration of training to ensure that the body continues to adapt and improve over time.
Overtraining
Exercising too frequently or intensely without adequate rest can lead to decreased performance and increased risk of injury.
Maintenance
Once a desired level of fitness is achieved, a lower level of training can be used to maintain the fitness level.
Individual Differences
Recognizing that individuals vary in their responses to training and will therefore require personalized training programs.
Variety
Incorporating different exercises and activities into a training program to keep it interesting and to work different muscle groups.
Rest and Recovery
Adequate rest periods are crucial for allowing the body to recover and adapt following exercise-induced stress.
Warm-Up and Cool-Down
Performing light exercises before and after an intense workout to prepare the body for exercise and minimize injury.
