Question

which of the following scenarios supports the principle of progression?
sam increased his bench press weight gradually.
kai focused on push - ups to increase upper body strength.
julie trained for a half marathon by bicycling three days a week.
after an injury, brody was unable to lift as much weight as he did before.

Explanation:

The Principle of Progression states that the body must be gradually overloaded to improve fitness. Sam increasing his bench - press weight gradually follows this principle as it involves a gradual increase in the load (weight). Kai's focus on push - ups is more about the type of exercise (specificity principle). Julie's cycling for a half - marathon is about specificity (training for a specific event). Brody's situation after injury is about recovery and not progression.

Answer:

Sam increased his bench press weight gradually.
