Generation

The principle of specificity states that your body adapts specifically to the type of training you do—you get better at what you practice. If you want to improve at running, you need to run; if you want to build strength in your legs, you need to do resistance exercises targeting those muscles. This means your training should closely match your goals: a swimmer won't become a better swimmer by only cycling, and training at low intensity won't prepare you for high-intensity competition. Essentially, your body makes precise adaptations to the exact demands you place on it.
