Thank you!

Answer 1

All the above in the question are the major excercise training principles

Definitions are as follows:-

• Specificity:-means that program must meet the goals of the individuals and it should mimic competition demand.
• Training variables:-means that the program should provide variability in certain tasks to maintain motivation through out.
• Overload:-means increasing the duration or intensity of training gradually.
• Individualisation:- predisposing individuals to certain components of fitness without training such as strength, speed, flexibility etc.
• Periodization:- changing the type of training based on the sport periodically
• Reversibility:- gradually decreasing the excercise rather than stopping it completely.

Hope the answer is clear to you. Please provide positive rating if it was helpful.
