~the best way to develop physical fitness for your sport is to train the energy systems and muscles as
closely as possible to the way they are used in your sport
~ex. best way to train for running is to run
~the more specific the training to the demands of the sport, the better - correct answer ✔✔specificity
principle
~athletes must do more what their bodies are used to doing
~when more is demanded, within reason, the body adapts to the increased demand
~you can overload in duration, intensity or both
~ex. if you increase a runner's long-distance run by 5 minutes, you've added an overload of duration
~ex. if you ask the runner to run her normal distance but in a shorter amount of time, you've added an
overload of intensity - correct answer ✔✔overload principle
~you must continually increase the physical demands to overload their systems
~if the training demand is increased too quickly, the athlete will be unable to adapt and may physically
break down, resulting in an inability to continue to train
~if the demand is not adequate, the athlete will not achieve optimal fitness levels - correct answer
✔✔progression principle
~as athletes become fitter, the amount of improvement is less as they approach their genetic limits
~as fitness levels increase, more work or training is needed to make the same gains - correct answer
✔✔diminishing returns principle
~over the course of the year, use training cycles to vary the intensity and volume of training to help your
athletes achieve peak levels of fitness for competition
~you should change the exercises or activities regularly so that you do no overstress a part of the body
~train by using a variety of activities - correct answer ✔✔variation principle
