Some scientific exercise training principles include: Individual differences cause different responses to an exercise program; increasing the workload or overload accordingly in order to improve fitness, strength or endurance; progression or gradual and systematic increase of the workload over a period of time will result in improvements in fitness without risk of injury; adaptation which refers to the body's ability to adjust to increased or decreased physical demands.<ref>[http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/training/a/Ex-Science.htm Exercise Science Principles of Conditioning.]</ref> [[Bodybuilding|Building strength]] is one of the fastest ways to improve your sports performance and train more efficiently.<ref>[http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/tipsandtricks/a/Fast_Fitness.htm How to Get Fit Fast - Tips for Effective Exercise and Workout Programs.]</ref>

According to the [[Mayo Clinic]]:
{{Cquote|Diet affects weight loss more than physical activity does. Physical activity, including exercise, has a stronger effect in keeping weight from coming back after weight loss.
Losing weight with diet alone and without physical activity can make people weaker. This is because of age-related losses in bone density and muscle mass. Adding resistance training and aerobic exercise to a weight-loss program helps prevent the loss of bone and muscle.
These are the exercise guidelines for most healthy adults from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
'''Aerobic activity.''' Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a week. Or get 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week. You also can get an equal mix of the two types.
Aim to exercise most days of the week. For even more health benefits, strive for 300 minutes a week or more of moderate aerobic activity or 150 minutes of vigorous activity. Exercising this much may help with weight loss or keeping off lost weight. But even small amounts of physical activity can be helpful. Being active for short periods of time during the day can add up and give you great health benefits.
'''Strength training.''' Do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. One set of each exercise is enough for health and fitness benefits. Use a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.<ref>[https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/weight-loss/in-depth/exercise/art-20050999 Weight loss], Mayo Clinic</ref>}}
