The statement that the principle of specificity refers to the concept that improvements in the various fitness areas require specific kinds of activity is true. This means that the activity must be relevant and appropriate to the sport. Example: marathon runner should train long runs, short runs and burst runs, but also specific muscles. For a basketball player the training should consist of agility and bursts of speed as well as shooting accuracy.
