Principles of Training Physical Fitness Training Programme Specificity Progressive Overload FrequencyDurationIntensity
Specificity Specificity is the first key principle of training. Training has to be specific to your needs: A. It has to be relevant to the activity. B. It has to be relevant to your existing levels of fitness and ability. How have we done this? ...
Progressive Overload Progressive overload is the second key principle of training. You progressively add to the demands of your fitness programme as your body adjusts to the benefits of you current programme.
Progressive Overload Progressive overload can be achieved in 3 ways. 1. FREQUENCY 2. INTENSITY 3. DURATION
Frequency This is how often you train. To improve muscular endurance you should train 3-4 times each week.
Intensity This is how hard you train. Intensity can be adapted by adjusting the work-rest ratio. EXAMPLE: moving from 30 seconds work and 30 seconds rest in weeks 1 & 2 to 35 seconds work and 25 seconds rest in weeks 3 &4
Duration This is how long you train for. The length of your training sessions can be increased as your fitness improves EXAMPLE: lengthen sessions from 20 minutes to 30 minutes.
Reversibility If you stop training your body will revert to the condition it was in before you started training.
