Principles of Exercise

• Seven basic principles of exercise;

  1. Individuality
  2. Specificity
  3. Overload
  4. Adaptation
  5. Recovery
  6. Reversibility
• Every one is different and responds differently to training

  Individuality
• Exercise should be specific to the your goals, needs and capabilities.

  Specificity
•  To improve your level of fitness, you need to gradually increase both the intensity and duration of your physical training routine.

  Progression
• A system must be exercised at a level beyond which it is presently accustomed for a training effect to occur.

  Overload
•  It means that your body can adjust to any burden as long as it is done in small increments (increase,bal.)

  Adaptation
• Rest and recovery are required to allow the body time to adapt to exercise.


  Recovery
• The beneficial effects of training begin to be lost as soon as training stops. (kaya tuloy lang raw always. consistency ba. eme)
