The Principle of Progression

The document discusses the principle of progression in exercise. It states that progression refers to gradually increasing the intensity, duration, frequency, or volume of exercise over time as the body adapts. The principle indicates that training loads must steadily increase through progressive overload in order for beneficial adaptations to occur. It emphasizes that following a structured training program with progression is important for consistent improvement over time rather than improvising workouts.

Exercise Progression

Exercise progression refers to


the process of changing the
intensity, length, frequency, or
volume of activity or exercise as
the body adapts to a given
activation pattern.
Principle of
Progression
This principle states that in order to
produce optimum results, overload
should be steadily increased. This
indicates that the training load is
gradually increasing, indicating
improvement. It is also known as the progressive overload
principle. Exercise must constantly
overwhelm the body in order for beneficial
adaptations (change) to occur.
Going to the gym and improvising a workout for the day
isn't as good as following a structured training program
with progression. The reason for this is that a structured
training program allows a person to maintain
consistency in their workout routine and progress over

where you're going would almost certainly result in
positive outcomes. Without the measured improvement
of a progressive-based routine, the person is more likely
to regress, suffer injury, and have a less successful
workout.
It's important to make progress against your
strength objectives on a regular basis by
adhering to the concepts of growth and overload.

When the body is constantly exposed to stress to

One of the most important aspects of

person's strength and stamina.
It should always be done to improve
one's health and physical fitness.
