Principles of Exercise
Practicing basic exercise principles is important for you to develop an effective fitness training program. The principles of exercise apply to everyone at all levels of physical training. You can easily remember the basic principles of exercise if you recall the P-R-O-V-R-B-S acronym:
P Progression—The intensity and duration of exercise must gradually increase to improve your fitness level. A good guideline for improvement is a 10 percent gain at specified intervals.
R Regularity—To achieve effective training you should schedule workouts in each of the first four fitness components at least three times a week.
O Overload—The workload of each exercise session must exceed the normal demands placed on your body to bring about a training effect.
V Variety—Changing activities reduces the boredom and increases your motivation to progress.
R Recovery—You should follow a hard day of training for a given component of fitness by an easier training or rest day for that component. This helps your body recover.
B Balance—To be effective, a fitness program should address all the fitness components, since overemphasizing any one of them may detract from the others.
S Specificity—You must gear training toward specific goals. For example, Soldiers become better runners if their training emphasizes running drills and techniques. Although swimming is a great exercise, it will not improve a two-mile-run time as much as a coordinated running program does.
