The Principles of Training are SPORT. Suggest two advantages of applying the principle of Specificity to a training program.

• Training can focus on specific areas of fitness or skill to improve.

• Progress can be measured and intensity can be increased to move to a new level of fitness.

• Training can be adapted for an individual's needs and target particular muscle groups to improve performance.

• If training intensity is reduced, there can be a deterioration of fitness.

• Keeps training exciting and avoid performers from becoming bored with training.

The Principles of Training are SPORT. Suggest two advantages of applying the principle of Overload to a training program.

• Training can focus on specific areas of fitness or skill to improve.

• By increasing Frequency, Intensity, Time or Type of training, a performer can achieve higher fitness levels.

• Once a performer has achieved certain fitness levels, training can be adapted and increase to improve their fitness levels.

• If training intensity is reduced, there can be a deterioration of fitness.

• Keeps training exciting and avoid performers from becoming bored with training.

The principles of overload are FITT. Suggest how increasing the Frequency of training can be applied.

• A performer can increase the level of exercise by working harder and longer in each session.

• A performer can increase the number of sessions that takes place each week

• A performer can adapt the type of exercises they do gain other benefits from their training.

• A performer can increase the time they spend in each exercise session.
