a. specificity
b. progression
c. overload
d. none of the above

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

The specificity principle in fitness requires exercise programs to have specific goals (e.g., strength, endurance) to target desired adaptations. A program without specific goals fails this principle. Progression is about increasing intensity over time, and overload is about challenging the body beyond its current capacity—neither relates to lacking specific goals here.

Answer:

A. specificity
