Exercise Physiology Calculators, Charts & Guidelines
Law of Progressive Overload- gradual increased stressed palced on the body will drive improvements in strength, hypertrophy & endurance. As the body adapts to a specific workload, training intensity, volume, or frequency must consistently increased to avoid performance plateaus.
Law of Specificity (SAID Principal)- specific adaptations to imposed demands. The human body responds to specific stresses placed on it so training should mirror the goal via proper periodization
10% Rule- weekly swim/ bike/ run swim mileage or lifting volume or intensity should not increase by >10% to reduce injuries. Veteran athletes can take some liberties with this rule but must still monitor volume & intensity
