 OBJECTIVES:

Today, we need to be
able to understand the
principles of training,
overload and its
examples.

 The Principles
of Training
 The principles of training can help you with
understanding different training types and effects. It
will give you an idea of how a training program should

01 look like, which is more efficient and with less chance

on injuries. The principles of training help to guide the
trainer in selecting the correct training type and
method in creating training sessions that will improve
performance. They help the trainer choose the
workload for the athlete to ensure they are not
levelling out or failing to improve.

 Since everyone who exercises has
different strengths, weaknesses and
targets training must be
personalized to suit an individual’s
needs which is why background
information is often gathered
through the use of questionnaires
prior to planning.

 The
Principle
of
Overload
SLIDESMANIA
 Overload
This essentially means pushing the
body beyond its current limits so that
it’s forced to adopt to the new
demands. The overload training
principle refers to an individual
adding workload to their current
exercise regimen in order to improve
fitness.

understanding, here’s
some other examples:

 OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE
OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE:
SLIDESMANIA
 The overload principle can be applied to any
physical activity, flexibility, mobility, and even
daily life. It is not just used in strength training.
To prevent progress from stalling, the overload
principle gradually raises the stimulation
applied to the body. Athletes are compelled to
exert greater effort when the stimulus gets
harsher as their bodies get used to current
routines.

keep going! :3
 These are our
recommendations
for safety
implementing the
overload principle
in your training: 
SLIDESMANIA
 1. Check your limits. 

2. Load increases that are moderate and progressive (getting

strong takes time).

3. Allow enough time for healing. A fertile harvest grows on a field

of repose. 

4. Planning and observing training loads 

5. Change up your activities to avoid training the same muscle

group every day. 

6. Make preparations for that tiny thing we call life. Coordination

of your training is essential if you want to perform at your peak
and avoid damage. 

7. Practice making mistakes. Depending on the athlete, you might

want to start at about 60% of your 1RM, however this number is
flexible. Consult a coach!

9. Follow your development. Just think about it. 
 
 REMEMBER: IF WE WANT TO PROGRESS,
WE NEED TO OVERLOAD THE BODY BY
INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF WORK WE
DO OVER TIME.
