The principle that allows for gradual progress, growth and development, acquisition of skills, and deeper understanding of the sport is the Principle of Long-term Training. This principle recognizes that sports performance is the result of long-term, cumulative training, rather than short-term bursts of intense effort.
The Principle of Warm-up and Cool-down refers to the importance of preparing the body for exercise by gradually increasing heart rate, blood flow, and body temperature, and then allowing the body to cool down and return to its resting state after exercise. This helps to prevent injury and reduce muscle soreness.
The Principle of Adaptation acknowledges that the body will adapt to the demands placed on it by training, and that training must be gradually increased to continue making progress.
The Principle of Reversibility states that gains in performance will be lost if training stops or decreases in intensity. This emphasizes the importance of consistency in training to maintain progress and prevent regression.
