questions and answers
Progression
refers to the selection of exercises, loads or resistances, order of
exercises, and readiness of the athlete that are just right (not too
hard, not too easy) for the status of the athlete and the demands of
the activity.
Training
is the process of preparing an athlete physically, technically,
tactically, psychologically, and theoretically rapidly for the highest
levels of performance. Training involves more than simple growth
and maturation and, of course, the highest levels of performance
will be relative to the current status and genetic gifts of the athlete.
Specificity
refers to the body tends to adapt very narrowly to the nature of the
exercise performed.
Volume
is the amount of work performed. Sets and repetitions of an
exercise combine to make this term.
Frequency
is the number of training sessions expressed per day, per week, per
month, etc.
Principle of Individuality
Every individual is unique and will respond differently to the same
training stimulus. Some of these differences can be influenced by
many characteristics; biological age, training age, gender, body size
and shape, past injuries and many more. For example, a college
athlete makes a copy of his exact training program and gives it to
, his little brother who is a freshman in high school. The younger
brother does not miss a workout, and at the end of the program, he
is disappointed in the results. Though many variables could play a
role in the results, the primary factor is most likely the large range
in biological and training age.

a. periodization

True
[T/F] Training volume is a summation of the total number of
