4. The Principles of Training
Reversibility
Specific
Matching training to the requirements of an activity
FITT
Any adaptation that takes place as a consequence of training will be reversed when you stop training.
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type (used to increase the amount of work the body does, in order to achieve overload).
Progressive
Overload
The Principles of Training
Recovery
To gradually increase the amount of overload so that fitness gains occur, but without potential for injury
Rest
The time required for the repair of damage to the body caused by training or competition
The period of time given to recovery
