Specificity & Cross Training
Training effects are specific to the muscle groups used during training and the type of training program implemented (Fox, McKenzie, Cohen 1975).

 


Specificity
To improve the range of movement for a particular joint action, you have to perform exercises that involve that joint action.

Specificity
Muscles adapt specifically to the nature of the exercise stress. The progressive resistance training program should stress the muscles how they are to perform.

Specificity Principle
Exercising a certain body part or component of the body primarily develops that part. The Principle of Specificity implies that, to become better at a particular exercise or skill, you must perform that exercise or skill.

Specificity of Training Principle- This principle says that only the muscle or muscle group you exercise will respond to the demands placed upon it.

SPECIFICITY : The type of exercise engaged in and the particular body parts involved must be selected to meet the needs of the specific component of physical fitness to be developed.

Specificity - In training, the concept that physiological gains are directly related to the specific skills, movements, or activities performed. For more see SAID principle.

Specificity
Specificity refers to training specifically for a desired outcome. You will train differently to build muscle mass than you would to improve performance.

Specificity - When you train, whether it is cardiovascular or strength training, the specific muscles and type of training you do, condition only those muscles and systems.

The Specificity Principle simply states that exercising a certain body part or component of the body primarily develops that part.

Exercise specificity simply states that exercising a certain body part or component of the body primarily develops that part. Specificity demands that, to become better at a particular exercise or skill, you must perform that exercise or skill.

Physical activities that stimulate bone growth need to include progressive overload and must address variation and specificity of load. Specificity of load refers to exercises that directly place a load on a certain region of the skeleton.

As with all sports fitness testing, specificity is very important, and if you were to seriously want to measure an athlete's reaction time in a certain sport, ...

This training uses neuromuscular specificity to allow you to teach your body the absolute most efficient way to perform a single exercise.

The above is too general. There is no way to measure success - there's no specificity. Avoid writing these types of general goals.

A recent study conducted at the Mind Body Medical Institute, through the Israel Deaconess Hospital at Harvard, showed the heightened specificity of medical meditation in that by changing one of the tools of meditation, ...

Progression: The active muscle must continue to work against a gradually increasing resistance in order to meet overload.
Specificity: Gains you receive are dependent on the muscle group used, and movement pattern performed.

If you are training to improve your performance in a particular type of exercise activity, you should be performing that particular type of exercise activity during your HIIT sessions to benefit from the effects of training specificity.
