Document Summary
The over load principle: in order to see gains in fitness, the amount of training should exceed what your body is used to. Training effect and adaptation: consistent overloads will bring about adaptation, or changes, as a result of training. Dose response: the amount your body adapts to new levels of training is related to the amount of overload or dose . Diminished returns: the rate of improvement diminishes over time as your fitness level approaches its limit. To effectively increase fitness, you must apply an optimal overload level within a certain time period. 10 percent rule: increase your training frequency, intensity, or duration by no more than 10% per week. Improvement in a body system (e. g. , cardiorespiratory) will occur only if that specific system is targeted in training. Fitness levels must be maintained or they will revert. Training results will vary from person to person. Your body needs time to recover between training sessions.
