sportsspecific
Sport-specific refers to approaches, training, equipment, and strategies tailored to the demands of a particular sport. It rests on the specificity principle, which holds that physiological adaptations and skill improvements are maximized when practice closely resembles the real task. Accordingly, performance in a given sport improves most when training mimics the movement patterns, energy systems, speeds, and decision-making required during competition.
In training, sport-specific programs select exercises and drills that reproduce sport movements and scenarios, adjust tempo
Examples include soccer or football, where practice includes ball handling, passing under pressure, and sprints with
Limitations include the risk of narrow conditioning if the program neglects general fitness components, which can
