7 PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING

What does the principle of individuality emphasize?

• Everyone should train the same way.

• Training programs should be based on a person's unique traits.

• Higher intensity is better for everyone.

• Genetics do not influence training outcomes.

Which activity is an example of the specificity principle?

• Running to build strength for pitching.

• Doing squats to improve aerobic endurance.

• Swimming to improve sprinting speed.

• Throwing a ball repeatedly to improve pitching skills.

How is progression typically achieved?

• By maintaining the same intensity over time.

• By gradually increasing the weight, frequency, or complexity of exercises.

• By reducing the number of exercises in a session.

• By doing the same routine repeatedly.

What is the overload principle?

• Reducing intensity to avoid injuries.

• Training with the same intensity for efficiency.

• Gradually increasing workout demands to promote adaptation.

• Exercising until exhaustion daily.

What happens during adaptation in training?

• The body becomes less efficient over time.

• The muscles shrink due to increased intensity.

• Exercises become easier as the body adjusts.

• Recovery periods must be eliminated to progress.

Why is recovery important in training?

• It reduces the need for exercise progression.

• It repairs the body and prevents injuries from overuse.

• It prevents the body from building strength.

• It allows the body to adapt to less exercise.

What does the reversibility principle explain?

• Fitness levels decline when training demands are reduced.

• Stopping exercise improves efficiency.

• Fitness gains are permanent once achieved.

• Reduced training intensity does not affect fitness levels.
