How do the principles of exercise apply to individuals training in a fitness club?One of the easiest ways to see how the principles apply is to discuss what happens when you don’t apply them properly. This table covers some basics using examples you are more than likely to encounter at some stage in a fitness club.
What happens to physical fitness if you stop training?They will become smaller and weaker. If you've been doing high intensity exercise or weight training, you'll find a reduction in your muscular endurance. A detraining period of 12 weeks results in decreased muscle mass and muscular strength, although the muscles can return to pretraining levels.
What happens to your body when you start exercising again?You start to experience both physiological and mental changes. On a cellular level mitochondria—mini power plants that produce energy—multiply, meaning that your body can produce more energy. People are also likely to experience improvements in their self-confidence and reductions in symptoms of depression.
Will your body adapt to overtraining?Our bones, muscles, tendons, heart, and lungs, will adapt to the stress exposed to it. This means if you undertake exercise that's physically challenging, your body will adapt to this stress to ensure the same activity feels slightly easier in the future.
How do I get my fitness level back?The best way to offset these health consequences is to be sure to engage in habitual physical activity, according to the study. So even if you can't do your regular workout, simply getting a small boost of exercise during the day, such as getting out for a walk at lunch, can help.
