• Reversibility

What happens if training stops for an extended period?

• Reversibility

• Threshold effect

Which principle helps maintain motivation by mixing up training activities?

• Reversibility

• Variety

Training thresholds refer to:

• The minimum intensity required to bring about adaptations

• The amount of rest needed after training

• Keeping the same weight and reps over time

• Increasing running distance by 10% each week

• Switching sports every session

• Specificity

• Reversibility

• Variety

• Progressive overload

To maintain improvements in aerobic fitness, an athlete must train:

• Above the aerobic threshold

• Below the aerobic threshold

• Only at rest

• Only with weights
