The overload principle means...
whatever body part is worked, that part will get the most benefit (compared to other parts).
a systematic increase of the workload
to progress and improve, you must put your body under additional stress beyond what is normal (but not too much).
a set of guidelines for setting up a fitness routine designed for increased performance.
Of the following, which is the BEST way to incorporate OVERLOAD in a workout?
add weight
work easier but longer
stretch first
NONE of the other options are correct.
Overload helps you...
maintain muscle strength
see improvements in muscle strength
lose muscle mass
none of the above
The idea behind the Overload Principle is...
that as you rest a muscle after exercise, it gets weaker.
because the level of stress increases, the body will adapt to keep up.
that as you work a specific muscle, that muscle will get stronger.
None of the other options are true for the Overload Principle.
What is one important aspect of the Overload Principle?
Do not overdo it. Too much stress will cause injury.
You must add as much weight as possible to increase the stress on your muscles.
The more often you overload the muscle, the better.
None of the other options are important for the Overload Principle.
