The resistance training program with low reps and high intensity squats and seated rows incorporates the overload principle, as the load and intensity are gradually increased. The incorporation of sprints and long distance swimming in her overall program plan shows specificity, as they are specific to the demands of the sporting activity, and also variation, as different types of exercises are being included. Therefore, the correct training principles incorporated are specificity, overload, and variation.
