,What is the SAID principle? What is it dependent on? - ANSWER- The
specificity principle. Specific exercise elicits specific adaptations,
creating specific training effects. (Specific Adaptations to Imposed
Demands). Dependent on the TYPE and MODE of exercise. Example: a
client wants to improve their time in an endurance run, you select
training stimulus that is appropriate. (eg. endurance activities, not
swimming.
