3.3.1 Principles of overload

Cards (15)

  • The Principle of Overload requires gradual increases in stress to improve fitness.

    True
  • Gradually increasing one or more FITT factors leads to progressive overload.

    True
  • Adjusting the FITT factors systematically can lead to improved fitness and performance.

    True
  • Systematically increasing the workload on the body leads to improved fitness.

    True
  • Progressive overload is essential for continuous fitness improvement.
    True
  • What does the FITT Principle outline for applying the Principle of Overload?
    Key training factors
  • Increasing the intensity of training involves working at a higher effort
  • Match the physical activity with an example of applying the FITT Principle for overload:
    1️⃣ Running
    2️⃣ Gradually increase running speed
    3️⃣ Strength Training
    4️⃣ Lift heavier weights or add reps
  • Progressive overload involves gradually increasing the workload to force the body to adapt
  • What does the Principle of Overload state is necessary to improve fitness?
    Increase stress on the body
  • The Principle of Overload states that fitness improvement requires a gradual increase in stress
  • What is an example of increasing the frequency factor in the FITT Principle?
    Training 3 times per week
  • How can the frequency factor be adjusted in training to apply the Principle of Overload?
    Increase training days
  • What is an example of increasing the time factor in the FITT Principle for swimming?
    Swim longer distances
  • What is an example of progressive overload for a runner?
    Increase weekly mileage
