- 5. •To achieve a training effect, you must exercise often. You should exercise each of the first four fitness components at least three times a week. Infrequent exercise can do more harm than good. Regularity is also important in resting, sleeping, and following a sensible diet. •The intensity (how hard) and/or duration (how long) of exercise must gradually increase to improve the level of fitness.
- 6. To be effective, a program should include activities that address all the fitness components, since overemphasizing any one of them may hurt the others. Providing a variety of activities reduces boredom and increases motivation and progress.
- 7. Specificity Training must be geared toward specific goals. For example, people become better runners if their training emphasizes running. Although swimming is great exercise, it does not improve a 2-mile-run time as much as a running program does. Recovery A hard day of training for a given component of fitness should be followed by an easier training day or rest day for that component and/or muscle group(s) to help permit recovery. Another way to allow recovery is to alternate the muscle groups exercised every other day, especially when training for strength and/or muscle endurance.
- 8. Overload The work load of each exercise session must exceed the normal demands placed on the body in order to bring about a training effect.
