Document Summary

Lecture 12 strength & conditioning **from now on most of final exam (cumulative) will be on these materials. 5 principles of program design-used in universal design of the program: specificity of training principle: Adaptations to training are specific to type of exercise & muscle group involved eg. swimming -improvement of the cardiovascular system. Types of improvement we want to see in one main focus. Fitness improvements occur in system that is trained improvement of specific muscle group in resistance training: overload training principle: Beyond the normal improvement looking at the long-term effect. Improvement by going/challenging beyond the normal limits to see more of the improvement. Involves frequency, intensity, duration: principle of individuality-training programs should be individualized by characteristics, interests, or abilities. We response differently in each individual -not everybody has same level/ all has different rate of improvement. Eg. young vs older people & athletes who are trained vs normal people: principle of diminished returns.
