Older experienced person
Specificity is one of the principles you need to consider if you are making a training programme. The training must be relent to the goals and targets set by the older individual, these might be just to improve quality of life of to lose some weight but the best fitness component to do these is c.v endurance because it improves the way the heart and lungs get your body oxygen and the blood moving around the body. As the client is experienced in training methods I could try a range of them but his skill level might not be able to cope as he is an older individual.
Understanding that his body might not cope I will apply the overload very gradually so that he doesn't become injured and doesn't complete the programme this would be bad physically and mentally. I would overload on time first then frequency, after he makes progress and starts to get fitter which would be toasted the end of the training programme I would overload intensity.
My client would need to train quite alot through the week as the principle of reversibility would kick in but this client has past experience in training so reveesibilty wouldn't take so much of his improvements.
As my client has past experience in training he probably has come across some of the training before so I would have to change some things like swimming would take less strain of his body than running or running on different surfaces
