In order to obtain specific training effects that you need or desire (e. g. to be able to run 10 km), specific training (e. g. In order to obtain specific training effects that you need or desire (e. g. to be able to run 10 km), specific training (e. g. running) focuses on improve that aspect: reversibility principle. Also known as the use it or lose it principle where a regular program must be maintained to prevent de-conditioning and loss of functional capacity: individual differences principle.
