Lesson Details

Key learning points

Key principles of training in sport include specificity, progression, overload and reversibility.
Principles of traning are used to optimise training and fitness and to prevent injury.

Common misconception

Overload is negative and should not be encouraged during training.

Overload is encouarged as a positive aspect of traning as progression is being managed correctly to bring about adaptations to fitness. It is not to be confused with 'overuse' which can cause injuries.

Keywords

Specificity - the training must be matched to the needs of the sporting action and individual.
Progression - gradual increases in exercise in order for the body to adapt through overload
Overload - greater than normal stress that is applied on the body for training adaptation to take place
Reversibility - any adaptation that takes place as a result of training will be lost if you stop training
