Homeostasis

The Tendency of the body to maintain a stable internal environment for cells by narrowly regulating critical variables.

Overload Principle

If you Habitually overload a system, it will respond and adapt.

Specificity Principle

Only the system or body part stressed will adapt.

Reversibility Principle

Whereas overloading will result in training adaptations, inactivity will result in a return to baseline.

Individuality Principle

while the physiological responses to a particular stimulus are largely predictable, the precise responses and adaptations will vary among individuals.

Summary

The Body’s respones to a single bout of exercise are governed by tge principle of homeostaisis.

Training adaptations (both for health & performance) are influenced by the overload, specificity, reversibility, and individuality principles.
