F- Frequency- How often/many
I- Intensity- How hard
T-Time- How long

21. S.P.O.R.T. Principle S = Specificity
Your body will adapt to the specific type of training performed.

22. S.P.O.R.T. Principle P = Progression
Challenge your body’s ability gradually.
Change at least one portion of the FITT principle
Will decrease risk of injury

23. S.P.O.R.T. Principle O = Overload
Greater then normal load (wt or reps) required to produce training effect.

24. S.P.O.R.T. Principle R = Reversibility
Also referred to as “Law of Use”
If you don’t use it, you will lose it.
Fitness results don’t stay constant- must continually work.

25. S.P.O.R.T. Principle T = Training Effect The end result of exercise
