Question

stacy is training for a marathon so to prepare, she adds distance and intensity to her training runs. what principle is at work in this situation? (3 points)
specificity
progression
overload
reversibility

Explanation:

To determine the principle, we analyze each option:

• Specificity: Focuses on training for a specific goal, not about increasing load. Eliminate.
• Progression: Involves gradually increasing exercise intensity/distance over time, which matches Stacy adding distance/intensity.
• Overload: Requires exceeding normal load, but "adding" here is gradual progression, not sudden overload. Eliminate.
• Reversibility: About losing fitness if training stops, irrelevant here. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. Progression
