For fitness development, the principle of progressive overload means:
  1. Training at your highest level of effort all the time.
  2. Weight training after spin class.
  3. Weight training during spin class.
  4. Incrementally increasing training load.
Explanation
Answer: D -For fitness development, the principle of progressive overload means incrementally increasing training load. The principle of progressive overload means applying an ongoing training load that provides a slightly greater challenge than your body conditioned for, acknowledging fitness adaptations and continually increasing the effort. Periodizing training allows the class, and individuals within it, to increase their training load progressively in a way that is achievable, rather than training at their fitness ceiling at all times at the risk of injury, fatigue, and plateau.
