Principle of Specificity in Athletic Training General to Specific Athletic Training. In order to perform most sports and physical activities, you need a base level of Benefits. The primary goal of specificity of training is to condition the muscles that will be used in the activity. Drawbacks.
The Specificity Principle is key to developing effective fitness training programs for sports. Specificity also underlies how athletes learn sport skills. However, the principle is sometimes misinterpreted. Specificity and Sports Fitness. Specificity refers to the type of changes the body makes in response to sports training.In relation to skill, the Principle of Specificity implies that, to become better at a particular exercise or skill, one should perform that exercise or skill.
For example, a.When developing a conditioning program, you should consider the following: the movements to be trained the muscles and joints to be trained the energy system (s) to be trained the speed of movement.Principleof SpecificityTraining.
Definition:Specificity is the principle of training that statesthat sports training. should be relevant and appropriate to the sportfor which the individual is training. in order to produce a trainingeffect. The Specificity Principlesimply states that training must gofromhighly general training to highly specific training.The specificity principle is also known as SAID or Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands.
Training specificity tells us that, in order to achieve the greatest gains in our ability to perform a chosen task, the majority of our training must be spent performing that task or tasks that are extremely similar.The principle of specificity states that training should closely match the activity that you wish to improve. This makes sense at first, as you would never expect to run a mile well by only lifting heavy weights. Application of the principle goes beyond that thoug.The expression the “specificity principle” is a description that serves to remind us to expect that strength gains will be specific to the type of strength training we perform.
Specificity in training is essentially training in a manner that is applicable, appropriate and course-specific in order to produce the desired outcome. For example, if a client is working with you to improve their running abilities, you need to prescribe.Most athletes understand the basic Principle of Specificity, meaning that if you want to get better at something, you have to practice or train that specifically.
If you want to be a better bike racer, you better spend a good amount of training riding your bike. Want to run a marathon, better do some run training.specificity of mode of training. specificity of muscle groups and movement patterns. posture specificity. This principle confers that one should aim to keep all training as sport-specific as possible, regardless of the type of fitness being trained.
The principle of specificity derives from the observation that the adaptation of the body or change in physical fitness is specific to the type of training undertaken. Quite simply this means that if a fitness objective is to increase flexibility, then flexibility training must.You can help Athlepedia by expanding it. SAID is a training principle that explains that a certain exercise or type of training produces adaptations specific to the activity performed and only in the muscles (and energy systems) that are stressed by the activity.
It stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands.The principles of specificity, progression, overload, adaptation, and reversibility are why practicing frequently and consistently are so important if you want to improve your performance. Missed.The principle of active involvement in training means simply that for a training programme to be fully effective the athlete must want to actively and willingly participate.
This participation and involvement should go beyond how an athlete behaves in the presence of the coach.

I’m an acupuncturist, looking to get into treating athletes, and possibly diversify into becoming a trainer. I’ve learned so much from your podcasts. Thank you!!
what about the client that thinks nothing is changing because they are never sore… being taught my whole life myself that some muscle soreness is actually a good sign
Almost an hour of dr Mike analogies, can this be any more perfect?
I passed my CPT exam 2 weeks ago! Thanks so much. You helped me out alot when i was studying!
This is a man who does what he does because he loves to do it.
I was hoping you’d be the host of the podcast. I’ve learned the most(by far) from your videos. Especially the collection of cueing videos available with the online self study. I’m taking the CPT exam at the end of this month. You rock like granite, Richey!
can give me your mail or fb or any thing when i can talk to you please thanks
Thanks for the video:).
I’m taking a Personal Trainers course right now. I’ve been been in the Industry for over 20 yrs teaching various classes but now I’d like an addition!
You’re so RIGHT! Pts need to have goal of the outcome per client. Warmup 5-10 min, Workout, cool down and stretch. Head above ur heart!
18:00 the computer analogy isn’t the best. To optimize for gaming you just need a graphics card and a decent cpu. For adobe or something intensive like that, you can upgrade your cpu to get better perfomance in those while maintaining and maybe improving your perfomance in games. Where this would break down is if you need a cpu like AMD’s Threadripper or you’re building a server with Epyc chips. This would be because these large cpu’s produce a lot of heat and can’t get as high clocks as lower core count cpu’s (which gaming loves high clock speeds). To make a computer with a 3950X, 128GB of ram, and a 2080Ti would be expensive, but it’d be the best gaming pc and a great workstation pc capable of your analogy.
If we put a price limit on your analogy and said we can only spend $1,000, then you really have to be choosy. Lowkey even then that budget might not be enough for intensive video editing and rendering. Definitely more than enough for gaming though.
TLDR In the end, most software these days use iGpu and Gpu acceleration (to my knowledge). So a good gaming pc is on it’s way to a good workstation. And a good workstation is a good gaming pc.
cheers chris for all the emails you’ve sent me over the years 😉 and now videos, great guy!
Really well explained, Chris! Can’t wait to watch all the videos in this series.
This is like the lectures you did 7 years ago based on powerlifting, but you had a mean head of hair!
Nice little refresher, thanks mike!
This makes me really sad… Finding out I’ll never be a profi dancer / strongman/bodybuilder shattered my heart
really loving these lectures in quarantine mike, thanks a bunch!!
I really like the addition of different training modalities and it’s trade offs. I get the impression that it is perhaps best to cycle different modalities on a mesocycle (at least) to better adapt to the accumulative stimulation like the strength, strength, strength example.
I wonder if cycling on mesocycles would be 1) better overall and 2) the only option for only more disparate training modalities. Perhaps closer training modalities like size and strength can be done in a microcycle. But then it raises the question of how much is too much… Opinions?
Mike decided early on in his life he would become a scholar of gains.

38:45 First implication of specificity; have a clear goal of what you want to improve BEFORE you design a program.
42:20 Second implication of specificity; at intermediate levels, “fitness” is not a concept – fit for WHAT?
44:20 Third implication of specificity; understand trade-offs between incompatible modalities and set concurrent goals with realism.
45:40 Fourth implication of specificity; sequence training for similar aspects of fitness together.
46:35 Fifth implication of specificity; make sure training becomes more specific as competition date nears.
47:10 Final implication of specificity; check all programs for “is this feature training the direct ability or an underlying driver of it?”. If the answer is “no”, discard that element.
So what your saying is that I have to decide if I wanna have abs and the power to move objects with my mind or if I wanna have abs and laser eyes.
The pick up, sports car, station wagon analogy getting embarrassed on the track are crossfitters:)
Excellent lecture Dr Mike clear concise and to the point always a pleasure watching your videos!!!
Mike’s passion for this stuff never gets old. Specificity is something I never took into account earlier on in my training career. It was just “Get big” at all costs. No fatigue management. No consideration for adaptations, etc. This video is pure gold.
We are so lucky to have this guy’s free advice, very and intelligent and he’s not shoving products down our throats
Doctor Mike thanks for all the great advice over the years, and the jokes, man you should do stand up comedy, on a mat doing BJJ, while lifting weights.
he said being strong is not a sport…. i agree with Dr Mike
Thank you Rick these podcasts are really helping me with my CPT studies.
Does anyone know who first developed or “invented” specificity training?
Dr. Mike reminds me of a jacked David Draiman (lead singer of Disturbed for any non metal heads.)
This reminds me of Mike Mentzer’s philosophies. You havn’t been inspired by him by any chance have you? Great video and hooked on your content!
An american bodybuilder / bjj entusiast talking about football (soccer) and actually making 100% sense, this is truly rare!
Thanks for the video. I really have to try these Novablast. I just run for basic fitness so I’m not a serious runner and mostly only watch you and the FOD Runner, and you are both praising the ASICS so much, they have to be my next pair lol
TL;DR training is the character creation part of an RPG and specificity dictates the build or class we’ll become if we spend enough xp points on its specific abilities and attributes!
Or just train harder than last time. Lol. Coach Greg says watching his channel makes you smarter. The truth is listening to these lectures makes you a better coach. There is no debate!
man it’s hard to be a football (not American) athlete
need to be fast but we still gotta play for 90 min lol
A lot of what this video spoke about was also discussed in great detail in Mike’s other video “Training Trade-offs”. Brilliantly said to say the least.
