Physical exercise- bodily movement, variable in degree, and directed toward an end or goal, performed for the purpose of effecting physical change in an organism. Progression principle gradual increase in intensity and/or duration to maximize adaptation, logs to keep track, principles of progression and overload work together. Specificity principle a specific stress produces a specific adaptation, training programs must be specific to energy systems, muscle groups, environments, etc. to be used in a specific activity. Individuality principle - adaptation to stress will vary among individuals, contingent upon fibre type, present state of fitness, strengths and weaknesses, training benefits when the program meets individual needs. Reversibility principle benefits of training are reversible.
