3. Principles of Training Physical Fitness Training Programme Specificity Progressive Overload FrequencyDurationIntensity

4. Specificity  Specificity is the first key principle of training.  Training has to be specific to your needs: A. It has to be relevant to the activity. B. It has to be relevant to your existing levels of fitness and ability.  How have we done this? ...

5. Progressive Overload  Progressive overload is the second key principle of training.  You progressively add to the demands of your fitness programme as your body adjusts to the benefits of you current programme.

6. Progressive Overload  Progressive overload can be achieved in 3 ways. 1. FREQUENCY 2. INTENSITY 3. DURATION

7. Frequency  This is how often you train.  To improve muscular endurance you should train 3-4 times each week.

8. Intensity  This is how hard you train.  Intensity can be adapted by adjusting the work-rest ratio.  EXAMPLE: moving from 30 seconds work and 30 seconds rest in weeks 1 & 2 to 35 seconds work and 25 seconds rest in weeks 3 &4

9. Duration  This is how long you train for.  The length of your training sessions can be increased as your fitness improves  EXAMPLE: lengthen sessions from 20 minutes to 30 minutes.

10. Reversibility  If you stop training your body will revert to the condition it was in before you started training.
