HPE 7B-U3L Principles of Training
1. Principle of Specificity: This principle states that training should be specific to the goals and needs of the individual. For example, if someone wants to improve their strength, they should focus on resistance training exercises that target the specific muscle groups they want to strengthen.
2. Principle of Overload: This principle states that in order to see improvements in physical fitness, the body must be subjected to a higher level of stress than it is used to. This can be achieved by gradually increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise.
3. Principle of Progression: This principle states that training should be gradually increased in intensity and duration over time in order to see continued improvements in physical fitness. This helps to prevent plateaus and ensure continued progress.
4. Principle of Reversibility: This principle states that the body will adapt to the demands of training by improving physical fitness, but these adaptations can be lost if training is stopped or decreased. This highlights the importance of consistency in training.
5. Principle of Individuality: This principle recognizes that individuals respond differently to training and will have different needs, goals, and abilities. Training programs should be tailored to the individual in order to maximize results.
6. Principle of Recovery: This principle emphasizes the importance of allowing adequate time for the body to recover and repair after training. This includes proper rest, nutrition, hydration, and sleep to ensure optimal recovery and prevent overtraining.
7. Principle of Variation: This principle states that varying the types of exercises, intensity levels, and training methods can help to prevent boredom, reduce the risk of overuse injuries, and challenge the body in new ways to continue seeing progress.
