What does the Progressive Overload Principle emphasize?

Challenging the intensity, duration, or complexity of fitness for improvement
Maintaining a consistent exercise routine without changes
Focusing on recovery only
Doing the same workout for comfort

The correct answer is: Challenging the intensity, duration, or complexity of fitness for improvement

The Progressive Overload Principle emphasizes the importance of continuously challenging and pushing oneself during exercise in order to see improvement. Option B, maintaining a consistent routine without changes, would not lead to increased strength or fitness levels. Option C, focusing on recovery only, does not address the need for challenging workouts. Option D, doing the same workout for comfort, would not lead to progress as the body would become accustomed to the routine. Instead, the principle promotes gradually increasing the intensity, duration, or complexity of workouts to see continued growth and improvement.
