• Progression - You must start slowly and build up to overload.
• Reversibility - If you stop training, you will lose some of your gains, but, if you
start training again, you can get back to your peak.
• Specificity - You must train the muscles specific to your sport.

How to use it
• Step 1: Get students to brainstorm around the selected topic and write down everything they know about
it in the K column.
• Step 2: Ask them to generate a list of questions about what they want to know in the W column of the
chart.
• Step 3: During or after reading the book/ lesson get them to answer these questions in the L column.
