Performing resistance training exercises in a circuit fashion in order to burn more calories is an example of which of the following principles of specificity?

Metabolic Specificity

Explanation:

Metabolic specificity deals with developing endurance for longer bouts of exercise and using anaerobic breathing pathway because the intensity of exercise is high. In resistance-training, the body will burn more calories in shorter sets of rest period and metabolism will improve. Hence, metabolic specific exercises apply weight-lifting exercises in a circuit fashion where no rest in between sets is given. Virtually zero rest period in circuit training is prone to burn higher amount of calories in record time. The idea is to maximize body change and thus metabolic specificity is a cross road between pure strength training in circuit fashion and pure interval training giving short rest periods in between. Strength training increases the lean mass and interval training boost the excess consumption of oxygen during rest periods which also oxidizes fat and burn calories.
