There is general agreement that exercise train-ing leads to functional, morphological, and metabolic adaptations of different biological systems, thereby increasing overall physical performance and promoting good health. Thus, an active lifestyle is propagated in all age groups. However, not every exercise routine or workout is suitable for everyone. Inappropriate training can also pose risks, and too low or too high training intensity or volume often does not lead to the expected success. To ensure signifi-cant benefits, specific principles and strategies need to be considered and accustomed to the individual.This chapter summarizes the key exercise variables and training principles to consider when developing a training program to improve or maintain performance and health. In addi-tion, the various steps for creating an individ-ual training program are described, and an overview of the different training methods and training strategies is given.
