An easy week followed by a medium week and another easy week. - Answer An easy week, followed by medium/hard week, followed by the hardest week.
The "Use it or lose it!" principle (reversibility) states that if training is stopped, a student's
strength, fitness and body composition will return to pre-training levels very quickly - within two weeks. - Answer true
Based on the specificity and reversibility principle, training during the off-season should: Be similar to training during the competitive season, i.e., students should compete year-
round.
