Which principle of training has the athlete displayed from Weeks 6 to 12?

• Peaking
• Progressive overload
• Reversibility
• Specificity

How could progressive overload be included into the program?

• The frequency being maintained at 3 x week
• The time being decreased to 20-30 mins
• The intensity being increased to 75-85% of MHR
• The type of activity being changed to cycling

Which of the following best demonstrates the principle of progressive overload?

• Ensuring that an athlete's HR is below 70-80% if MHR during each session
• Gradually increasing the weight & number of reps for strength training exercises
• Participating in a variety of activities to develop a range of muscle groups
• Scheduling 1-2 training sessions each week to maximise training benefits

Which of the following is an example of the principle of reversibility?

• Decreased training intensity leading up to a major competition
• Decreased level of performance as a result of a break in training
• Completing exercises for opposing muscle groups in one session
• Achieving a lower time in an 800m time trial on a second attempt

Which is an example of specificity in strength training?

• A
• B
• C
