    This document outlines 5 principles of fitness training: 1) The principle of overload specifies that physical exercise must be performed beyond normal amounts to see improvements in fitness. 2) The principle of specificity indicates that specific muscle groups and energy systems must be trained to see improvements in those areas. 3) The principle of progression means the intensity of exercises should gradually increase over time for best results. 4) The principle of variation means including different types of exercises to maintain interest and progress toward goals. 5) The principle of recovery dictates that adequate rest is needed between training sessions.

    PRINCIPLES OF

    FITNESS TRAINING

    Prepared by:
    Ms. Venapas E. Bajoyo, LPT
    PRINCIPLES OF OVERLOAD
     The most basic of all fitness training
    principle.
     It specifies that you must perform physical
    exercise than normal amount to get an
    improvement in physical fitness and health
    benefits.
    Example: If improvement in muscular strength
    is your goal, the muscle must be exercised
    with greater amount than normal.
    PRINCIPLE OF SPECIFICITY
     Indicates that you must train a specific
    energy system and specific muscle groups in
    order for them to improve.
    Example: If you want to develop the
    cardiovascular endurance, you must design a
    training program that primarily utilizes a
    particular energy system.
    PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSION
     Indicates that the load could be increased
    gradually overtime to remain effective and
    safe for best results.
    Example: An individual training to gain cardio
    respiratory endurance may begin in an
    exercise program by jogging 2km at a
    moderate intensity. The next week the
    individual may increase distance to 2 ½ km
    while still working at the same level of
    intensity. Week after week, the overload
    could be adjusted until the desired level of
    fitness is attained.
    PRINCIPLE OF VARIATION
     Using a different ways to achieve desired
    fitness goals.
     Including variation into a training program
    maintains individual’s interest and provides a
    change of pace while still making progress
    toward desired goals.
     The principle maintains that a constant
    adaptation and changes in intensity, volume and
    time of the workout will prevent the stagnation
    of performance gains or increase performance
    gains faster than a repetition of the same
    workout. 
    PRINCIPLE OF RECOVERY
     Way of incorporating a time to rest into the
    fitness program.
     The Recovery Principle dictates that athletes
    need adequate time to recuperate from
    training and competition.
    Example: An individual may work one day on
    improving upper body strength and devote
    the next day’s training to working lower
    body strength.
