Principles of training

Cards (3)

  • Specificity in training can be achieved by tailoring training for the specific sport or even the position that the individual plays, focusing on the muscle groups used the most, and considering the dominant energy systems of the athlete
  • Progressive overload in training involves increasing frequency, intensity, time, or type (FIIT or FID) gradually over the training period to push the body beyond its normal rhythm. This gradual increase helps the athlete avoid performance plateaus or injuries
  • Variance in training refers to the need for variety and change in exercise routines to avoid plateaus and keep challenging the body in different ways. This can include changing the type of exercise
