This document discusses five principles of exercise: overload, progression, specificity, individuality, and reversibility. The principle of overload views exercise as a stress that strengthens the body. Progression deals with increasing exercise intensity over time. Specificity implies the body adapts to the activities it performs. Individuality means exercise programs should suit a person's goals, attributes and lifestyle. Reversibility notes physical fitness deteriorates without consistent exercise to maintain benefits from overload.

- 5. PRINCIPLE OF OVERLOAD This principle views exercise as a certain form of stress that’s meant to strengthen the body.
- 6. PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSION This principle deals with the intensity of exercise training.
- 7. PRINCIPLE OF SPECIFICITY This implies that the body will adapt to the kind of activities that it performs.
- 8. PRINCIPLE OF INDIVIDUALITY The exercise program should be individual- specific; it should meet specific performance goals, and it should suit the person’s attributes, lifestyle , and nutritional preferences.
- 9. PRINCIPLE OF REVERSIBILITY In order to maintain the benefits of overloading, one must stay consistent in exercise. Too much rest, or discounting exercise training will cause the body’s level of physical fitness to deteriorate.
