In progressive overload, which is defined as the length of each training session?

• A. Frequency
• B. Type
• C. Time
• D. Intensity

Answer: (C)

Time refers to how long a single training session lasts. In progressive overload, you increase workload by adjusting one aspect of the training, and duration is the measure of the session’s length. If you lengthen a workout while keeping the effort the same, you add more total work, helping the body adapt. The other aspects describe how often you train (frequency), the kind of exercise you do (type), and how hard you work during the session (intensity), but the length of each session is defined by time.
