Document Summary

K a r a n t h u k r a l , 3 0 1 1 7 4 5 2 2: briefly describe the four principles of physiologic conditioning. [one-half mark for listing the principle and one-half mark for a short description] The term physiologic conditioning refers to a planned program of exercise directed toward improving the functional capacity of a particular bodily system. The four principles of physiologic conditioning are . Overload principle - every tissue in the body adapts to different kinds of stress. If for example we want a muscle to just get stronger and not bigger, we must create overload in the target system. When we stress the body in a manner it"s not used to, the body will react by causing physiological changes to be able to handle that stress in a better way the next time it occurs. Specificity principle - specific exercise elicits specific adaptations that create specific training effects.
