Why each option
Concentration is a psychological focus strategy, not a recognized physiological principle of exercise training.
Overload is a foundational training principle stating that the body must be stressed beyond its current level to produce adaptation.
Specificity is a recognized training principle stating that adaptations are specific to the type of training performed.
Reversibility (also called detraining) is a recognized principle stating that fitness gains are lost when training stimulus is removed.
The established principles of training are Overload, Specificity, Reversibility, Progression, and Individuality. Concentration describes a mental approach to resistance exercise (the mind-muscle connection) and is not categorized as a principle that governs how the body adapts to systematic training stress.
