Question
Explain the progression as a principle of sports training.
Solution
Progression is a constant increase in the intensity, duration, or difficulty of training over time in order to constantly push the body and promote further adaptation and improvement.
- Why It's Important: As an athlete's fitness level grows, the same level of effort will become too easy, leaving the body unchallenged. To continue progressing, the training stimulus must continuously increase.
- Application: Progression can be used to gradually increase the weight lifted, run longer distances, or introduce new techniques as the athlete's abilities improve. The idea is to make tiny, controllable changes to avoid overtraining or injury while allowing the body to adapt to the new demands.
