The SAID Principle -Improve your athletic skills with strength training

5/9/2023

0 Comments

 
🧐 What is the SAID principle? SAID stands for Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. This principle states that the body will adapt to the specific demands placed upon it. In other words, if you want to get better at a particular sport or activity, you need to train in a way that mimics  that activity.

🤔 To apply the SAID principle to your fitness routine, look over the following:

1️⃣ Identify the specific demands of your sport or activity
2️⃣ Determine the physical qualities needed to meet those demands (e.g., strength, power, endurance, speed, agility)
3️⃣ Develop a training program that targets those specific physical demands
4️⃣ Gradually increase the intensity and complexity of your training to continually challenge your body and promote adaptations

🏋️‍♀️ Strength training can improve muscular strength, endurance, and power, as well as joint stability and bone density. To apply the SAID principle to strength training, you should:

👉 Identify the specific muscle groups and movement patterns required for your sport or activity
👉 Select exercises that target those muscle groups and movement patterns
👉 Choose appropriate resistance and rep ranges to challenge your body and promote adaptations
👉 Progress your training gradually to continue challenging your body

👵🧓 Seniors can benefit from exercise that targets strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility. To apply the SAID principle to senior fitness, you should:

👉 Identify the specific physical demands of daily life that seniors need to meet (e.g., carrying groceries, climbing stairs, walking, golf, tennis, etc.)
👉 Choose exercises that target those specific demands (e.g., squats, lunges, step-ups)
 👉Select appropriate resistance and rep ranges to promote adaptations without risking injury
👉 Progress your training gradually to continue challenging your body
