Principles of Training

Specificity, overload, and reversibility are key principles of training. Specificity means training must match the sport, overload means pushing body systems harder than normal using FITT principles to improve fitness over time, and reversibility is that improvements will be reversed if training stops. Progression, avoiding tedium, and individualizing training are also important to prevent injury, maintain interest, and account for differences in how people respond to training.

Principles of Training

Specificity-Our training must be specific


to the sport

Overload-To improve fitness we must


overload our body systems. This means
making them work harder than normal.
Overload Our bodies will adapt to this
extra work and so we will become fitter.
Overload uses the FITT principles.

Reversibility-Use it or lose it! Basically, if


you stop training then the improvements
you have made will be reversed.

Tedium-Tedium, or boredom, should be


avoided in all training programs to
maintain enthusiasm and interest.

Progression-As we increase the amount


of training we do we must it gradually
more difficult to prevent injury.

Individualization-This is a crucial
principle, the fundamental fact that
everyone is different! Everyone responds
to training in a different way
