Principles of Training
1. Overload
Principle that tells you to step-up the intensity, time of workout and type progressively
in order to increase your capacity. The capacity to adapt improvements in endurance, strength
or muscle size.
2. Frequency
Frequency refers to how often you exercise. It is important to consider in order to know
the balance that provides just enough stress for the body and allows the body have enough
time to recover.
3. Intensity
Intensity can be described as the amount of effort or level of difficulty that must be
invested in a specific exercise workout. This is an extremely important aspect of the Training
Principles because it monitors the physical changes that impacts your body positively.
4. Duration
This principle refers to how much time is allotted in the exercise program at the
moment of execution. The time dedicated to exercise usually depends on the type of exercise
undertaken because it is inversely proportional to the intensity. As the intensity increases the
duration must decrease and vice-versa.
5. Reversibility
This principle informs us that the effects of training ceases after you stop from working
out. However, this can also be reversed when training is resumed.
6. Specificity
Specificity tells us that one must work with a goal in mind of which specific skills he/she
wants to improve or master. In other words, he needs to specify what energy system or
muscles to deal with. This principle is usually employed with sports training.
9. Recuperation
This principle suggests that after training sessions the person should take adequate rest
time to recuperate from training sessions. Rest and recovery is important to avoid too much
stress in the body and at the same it is part of the factor that will allow you to achieve your
desired results from training. It is significant also to note that, the recuperation time should not
be too short or too long. Overuse injuries happens when the time is short while deterioration of
fitness progress happens when extended periods has been taken.
