Concept explainers
To explain: The basic principles of training: overload, reversibility, and specificity.
Introduction: Exercise training includes all the bodily activities that help to enhance or maintain physical fitness for overall health and wellness. Exercise can be performed for various reasons such as to aid growth, improve strength, prevent aging, develop muscles, weight loss, and also for enjoyment.
Explanation of Solution
Overload: The term “overload” indicates either an organ system or tissue (cardiovascular or skeletal muscle) is exercise beyond a level at which it is accustomed for achieving a training adaptation. However, the system or the tissue adapts to the overload and functions in a better way over time.
Reversibility: Reversibility refers to the fact that the gained fitness or adaptions are lost quickly when the training is stopped or overload dis removed.
Specificity: The term “specificity” indicates that the effect of exercise training is always specific to the type of muscle involved, the type of fibers recruited, the energy system involved, either aerobic or anaerobic, the contraction velocity, and the type of muscle contraction, (either eccentric, concentric, or isometric). It states that the arms do not undergo any training adaptation during week running exercise.
