Question

Which principle of training is associated with the statement written in the picture?

Options

• Overload

• Recovery

• Adaptation

• Specificity

Answer 1

Specificity

Explanation:

The statement “What you train for is what you get” describes the specificity principle: training adaptations depend on the type of exercise performed. Overload concerns providing a greater-than-usual stimulus, recovery involves rest, and adaptation is the body's response to training.
