12. Victory Physical EducationCopyright 2005 Overload (Progressive) The body takes time to adapt to more or harder exercise. We must build up stress on our bodies in a gradual, or progressive way ie increasing distance or number of reps The body takes time to adapt to more or harder exercise. We must build up stress on our bodies in a gradual, or progressive way ie increasing distance or number of reps What will happen if we build up stress on the body too quickly or slowly?

We will increase the risk of injury or may become disinterested or bored and give up.

13. Victory Physical EducationCopyright 2005 Overload Quite simply, we can only achieve improvements in most aspects of physical performance by forcing the body to work beyond it’s current known limits. In other words we OVERLOAD it. Quite simply, we can only achieve improvements in most aspects of physical performance by forcing the body to work beyond it’s current known limits. In other words we OVERLOAD it. Example – to improve our aerobic fitness by running, we could run more times a week, complete the run in a shorter time or increase the distance we run. Each one of these will overload the aerobic system. The aerobic system will gradually adapt to cope with the overload and we will become fitter.

17. Victory Physical EducationCopyright 2005 Reversibility The process of REVERSIBILITY applies to most aspects of physical performance. It means that the effects (or improvements) of training will be lost at about one third of the rate at which they were gained.

It is not such a good idea to suddenly begin strenuous activity and expect the body’s systems to adapt instantly without injury.

25. Victory Physical EducationCopyright 2005 Warm up and Cool down During exercise, the heart rate is much faster during exercise than normal and blood is being pumped around the body at a higher rate. Suddenly stopping this physical activity will cause blood to pool in the bodies tissues, which effectively then has nowhere to go. During exercise, the heart rate is much faster during exercise than normal and blood is being pumped around the body at a higher rate. Suddenly stopping this physical activity will cause blood to pool in the bodies tissues, which effectively then has nowhere to go. If the heart slows down too quickly, this can also slow down the removal of LACTIC ACID from the muscle tissues and can cause muscle soreness when the body finally cools down.
