  Progressive overload is the favourite modality for eliciting morpho-functional adaptions through a progressive increase of muscular, metabolic, or neural stress over time. There are many ways to rationally progress the load thereby elicit the desired adaptations, such as higher levels of hypertrophy, muscular endurance, maximum strength, or power. In order to understand these options, we must analyze the loading variables and how to influ-ence the final training effect.

  Focus Areas and Instructional Strategy      
  
  Focus Area 1: Reinforce technical concept - Students are required to test and prove the strength training load progression.
  
  Focus Area 2: Instrument and practical skills - Students are required to practice establishing a baseline of current strength and capabilities.
  
  Focus Area 3: Experimentation - Students are required to analyze whether the experiment results obey the strength training load progression.
  
  Instructional Strategy: Experimentation - Lab manual and experimental procedure is provided for the students.
