Greater than normal stress or load on the body is required for training adaptation to take place
Principle of Progression
The body should experience gradual increase in overload
Frequency
How often you will exercise
Principle of Specificity
Sports training should be relevant and appropriate to the sports for which the individuals are training to produce a training effect
Principle of Reversibility
Any adaptation that takes because of training will be reversed when you stop training
Ways to apply the principle of overload
1. Increase the weight lifted
2. Change the exercise employed
3. Increase the volume of work
Intensity
The amount of effort or work that must be completed in a specific exercise
Principle of Reversibility - Training adaptations are reversed when exercise is stopped
Specificity - The best principle of training to improve your backstroke because it is specific to the demands of the sport or skill you are trying to improve
Overload - The body needs to be stressed beyond its current capabilities because Arnold's body is already used to the kind of workout and level of weights he's doing
Specificity - Lenny wants to improve swimming, that's why she needs to be specific on the type of exercise she must do to improve
Reversibility - Vhong used to dance which kept him fit, but because of the pandemic, he stopped doing it so the effect of dancing has reversed which gave him belly fats
Individuality - Mannylyn is inspired to start doing work outs and it is important that she do what fits her level, experience, and limitations
Individuality - There's no such thing as One Size Fits All, because everyone have their own level, experience, and limitations
SMART
Specific,measurable,achievable,relevant, and time-bound
Statements that consider frequency of training in the FITT principle
Exercise 3-5 times per week
Weight training 2-4 times per week
Daily Stretching
Statements that consider time of training in the FITT principle
20-60 minutes per session
Half quarter of your daily routine
About 45 minutes
Statements that consider type of training in the FITT principle
AerobicsActivity
ResistanceTraining
Weightlifting
Stretching
Statements that consider intensity of training in the FITT principle
Training at 60-80% of target heart rate
Add or maintain weight and repetitions
3 sets of 10-12 repetitions
Allowing your muscles to recover - important reason for rest periods between sets
Statement that considers all the FITT principles - Safe, effective, and progressive exercise progression
To increase muscle mass, you must adjust Intensity and Type in the FITT principles
Time in FITT
The duration of each exercise
Gluteus Maximus - is not a core muscle being targeted by an elbow plank
Importance of a strong core
It helps and improves balance and stability
It prevents arms and legs muscle pains
It improves weightlifting
It prevents back pain and poor posture
Diaphragm - it is the core muscle that contracts involuntarily when you cough or sneeze
Bicep Curls - this exercise is not considered an effective core strengthening exercise
RectusAbdominis - this core muscle contracts primarily when performing sit ups
Deadlift - this is not a plyometric exercise
Plyometrics
Are beneficial for athletes that require jumping, sprinting, and quick changes of direction
Can help increase speed, strengthen muscles, and increase rate of force development
Pop squat
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and engage your core
Power and explosiveness
Plyometrics primarily focus on training this aspect of muscle function
Plyometrics exercise
Involves rapid movements with a quick stretch and forceful contraction
Tuck Jump - This plyometric exercise engages your entire core and back, especially the lower back part
Jumpsquat with heel tap - This plyometric exercise is a version of the squat that will change your quads and gluts while you build explosiveness
Question options
A. If BOTH statements are TRUE
B. If Statement 1 is TRUE and Statement 2 is FALSE
C. If Statement 1 is FALSE and Statement 2 is TRUE
D. If BOTH Statements are FALSE
Statement 1 TRUE - Progression emphasizes gradually increasing difficulty as your fitness improves
Statement 2 TRUE - FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type
Statement 1 FALSE - The overload principle states that to improve fitness, you should always perform the same workout routine
Statement 2 TRUE - Reversibility highlights that fitness levels will decrease if you don't maintain them
