Energy Systems and Principles of Training
Applying the principles of training
- 3 things to know
- AS Unit 1
Overview
Specificity for a 400 m runner, progressive overload, reversibility for an injured footballer, variance for a swimmer, percentage of maximum heart rate and a worked training zone, and interval designs for each energy system.

What is progressive overload?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is the principle of specificity?
Model answer
Specificity means training must match the demands of the sport and the performer. The energy systems, muscles and movements trained should be those used in competition.
- 2
Apply the principle of specificity to a 400 m runner.
Model answer
A 400 m runner should train the lactic acid system with repeated runs of about 30 to 60 seconds. Sessions should use the running action at race intensity.
- 3
What is progressive overload?
Model answer
Progressive overload means gradually increasing the demands on the body beyond what it is used to. The body adapts and fitness improves.
- 4
How can training be overloaded?
Model answer
Overload can be applied by raising the frequency, intensity or duration of training. The FITT principle adds changing the type of training.
- 5
Why must overload be progressive rather than sudden?
Model answer
A sudden large increase in training load risks injury and overtraining. Gradual increases give the body time to adapt.
- 6
What is reversibility?
Model answer
Reversibility means fitness gains are lost when training stops or is reduced. Aerobic fitness declines noticeably within a few weeks of stopping.
