Overload – If an athletes body experiences the same intensity or stress each time they train, their performance will mot improve. In order for changes to take place and improvements to be made, it is essential that you keep increasing the level of challenge.
Reversibility – This can basically be described as ‘use it or lose it’. This means improved ranges of movement can be achieved and maintained by regular use of mobility exercises. If an athlete stops mobility training, their ranges of movement will decline over time to those maintained their other physical activities.
Tedium (Variation) – This means when there is a possibility of the sports performer becoming bored during training.
Frequency - The frequency of exercise is a balance between providing just enough stress for the body to adapt to and allowing enough time for healing and adaptation to take place.
Intensity – This defines the amount of effort that should be invested in a training program or session. There must be a balance between finding enough intensity to overload the body so it can adapt, but not so much that it causes overtraining.
Type – This is what type or what kind of exercise you should choose to achieve the suitable training response. For example, you could be a footballer so the type of training you will need is cardio respiratory training but if you were a shot putter, the type of training you will need is muscular endurance.
Time – This is basically how long you should be exercising for. For example, you could train in sessions of 20-30 minutes or 45-60 minutes depending on the type of training you are doing.
