Individual needs
Before planning your personal exercise programme, you need to assess the abilities and needs of the individual it is being designed for.
Age – some activities may be inappropriate for particularly young or particularly old performers.
Current level of health – a clean bill of health is required. If you are recovering from an injury, this will affect the design of your programme.
You need to consider:

Individual needs
Current level of fitness – does the performer exercise already? Are they generally fit? Are they overweight or overfat?
What forms of exercise they enjoy doing – when you design a programme, it is best to include activities that the performer enjoys, or there is a chance they may cease training due to boredom or lack of interest.
Some people prefer team sports.
What their aims are – do they just want to become healthier? Do they want to improve in the sport that they participate in? Do they have a particular event that they want to prepare for?

Principles of training
There are several ideas that you should bear in mind when designing a personal exercise programme.
Moderation
This means achieving a balance between training enough to achieve improvement and not overtraining.
Overtraining can lead to tiredness, illness and injury. Adequate rest should be built into exercise programmes.
Peaking
If the performer is training for a specific event, the exercise programme should be designed to bring them to peak performance on the big day.
