Overload Principle

Specificity Principle

Individual Differences Principle

Reversibility Principle

- Manipulates intensity, frequency, duration or a combination of these factors

- Body's response to new stimuli; will result in long-term adaptations

- Can apply to strength, flexibility, power, endurance, etc.

- Adaptations are specific to exercises completed

- Training should stimulate (reflect) the competition

- Adaptations are region specific; so train muscles corresponding the movement

I.e. Short distance swimmers should train a few kilometres every week to increase aerobic capacity which;

1. Helps with recovery

2. Increase lactate threshold

- Consider personal limitations & position demand in team sports

- Individuals may have different capacities

- Compare the progress of a person with his/her own previous records

- Referred to as "Detraining"

- May start as short as a week

- Regaining the adaptations will be quicker for the second time

- Genetic related parameters are less affected by detraining (i.e. strength)
