1. OVERLOAD
• This states that a greater than normal load or intensity
of the body is needed for adaptation or improved
function and fitness to occur.
• The initial response of the body to an overload is
discomfort and fatigue. When the loading stops, the
body undergoes recovery and eventually adapts to this
overload.
2. PROGRESSION
• This referred to a progressive overload and indicates
that overload should not be increased too slowly or
rapidly if fitness is to result.
• Mode: Type or choice of physical activity or exercise
depending on fitness goal(s), skill level, availability and
access to facilities and equipment.
• Frequency: refers to the number of times you exercise
in a given week.
• Intensity: refers to the level of difficulty of an exercise or
workout. Time: refers to the length of exercise session.
3. SPECIFICITY
• This principle indicates that one must identify and train
or overload a specific fitness component in order to
develop it.
4. REVERSIBILITY
• The adaptations from exercise or training are reversible,
that is, a fitness component deteriorates to a level that
is equivalent to one’s level of physical activity.
• Use it or lose it, which means, in order to maintain a
desired level of fitness, an exercise overload must be
imposed on the body systematically and continuously.
5. VARIETY
• Training, is a long-term process, can potentially
become boring or monotonous.
• Hence, there is a need for variety to maintain your
interest or motivation and sustain your participation.
• Variety may be incorporated in an exercise program
through changes in exercise mode.
• Alternate aerobics and resistant training
• Running and Cycling
• Alternate heavy and light workouts
6. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
• This principles states that we all have varying abilities
in terms of developing each of the fitness component.
• These differences are grounded on genetics, age, sex,
body composition and size, medical condition and
injuries, among others.
