When it comes to physical fitness, specificity refers to engaging in specific or particular types of physical activities or exercises that intentionally target one part or few parts of the body that a person hopes to train and improve fitness in.

For instance, a basketball player, will use the specificity principle to primarily train and build fitness in parts of his/her body that are used most in basketball- arms, shoulders, chest and back. The basketball player might focus more on exercising and using weights to improve fitness and strength in his/her arms, shoulders and chest, and focus less on his/her legs and glutes.
