Which principle describes the method of training used?

Which principle describes the method of training used?

• A. Specificity
• B. Time
• C. Intensity
• D. Type

Answer: (D)

Type is the best answer because it names the form of training you choose—the method of training such as continuous, interval, circuit, or resistance work. This determines how the body is stressed and what adaptations you’re aiming for. The other aspects describe different parts of the program (time = how long you train, intensity = how hard you work, specificity = tailoring to sport demands) rather than the actual training method used.
