WHAT IS TRAINING?
Training is a systematic process in which
participants aim to improve their fitness
to achieve specific goals. For this to
take place the principles of training must
be applied to a training program.

Reversibility
Tedium
Principle of
Specificity
The specificity principle requires
an understanding of the needs
of the game or event you are
taking part in.Training must be
geared towards the needs of the
specific sporting activity in order
to improve fitness of the body
parts that the sport uses.
Principles of
Progression
This is all about the need to gradually
increase the workload that you put your
body through. It is essential to combine
training and rest while at the same time
increasing the stress that the body is
put through. This so-called ‘stress’ is a
combination of the frequency, duration
and intensity of the workout.
Principle of
Overload
Frequency: Increasing the
number of times you train per
week
Intensity: Increasing the
difficulty of the exercise you
do.
Time: Increasing the length of
time that you are training for
each session.
Type:Increase the difficulty of
the training you are doing.
Principle of
Reversibility
A concept that states when you stop
working out, you lose the effects of training.
It is sometimes referred to as the ''use it or
lose it'' principle. Moreover, on the plus
side, it states that when you resume
working out, you begin to make gains again.
While the reversibility principle is often
perceived as a negative thing, exercise
physiologists are discovering that it can be
a positive thing as well.
Principle of
Tedium
Athletes need variety in their
training to prevent boredom but
also some types of overuse
injuries such as strains or even
stress fractures. The principle of
tedium is applied when a trainer
builds variety into the training
by
changing
the
training
method.
TRAINING PLAN
A Training Plan is a document that
communicates to the trainers and trainees'
details of the proposed training program. An
approved training plan authorizes the team to
gain development on specific skills they would
like to improve.
