6. What to Know About Training Principles • The principle of specificity • According to the principle of specificity, a workout should include a specific type of exercise to obtain the desired fitness benefits. • The principle of overload • According to the principle of overload, a workout must include exercise beyond what a person usually does to gain additional fitness benefits. Click the mouse button or press the space bar to display information.

7. What to Know About Training Principles • The principle of progression • According to the principle of progression, the amount and intensity of exercise during workouts must be increased gradually. • The principle of fitness reversibility • According to the principle of fitness reversibility, fitness benefits are lost when training stops.
