Overload Principle, Specificity Principle, Progression Principle, Recuperation Principle,
Reversibility Principle
Overload Principle Correct Answ_key component stating the muscular and cardiorespiratory
systems of the body must be stressed to improve fitness
,achieved by increasing intensity and duration
doesn't mean painful or exhausting
Principle of Progression Correct Answ_Extension of OL Principle
Overload is increased gradually over the course of a program

intensity of workouts)
24 hrs of rest is essential for max. benefits.
Overtraining: Failure to rest leads to fatigue, leads to chronic fatigue, infection, and injuries
Reversibility Principle Correct Answ_The loss of fitness due to inactivity
(too long between sessions or an inconsistent routine)
