The principle of Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID) says that your body will predictably change through an adaptive process in response to the exercise demands that are placed on it.

For example, if you begin running or jogging, the stimulus of running will result in an adaptive response in your body that will improve your physiology to become more suited to running. Basically, positive stimulus through adaptation leads to a better response. If you run regularly, you will become a better runner. If you cycle regularly, you will become a better cyclist. We sometimes also call this the principle of specificity.

How fast adaptation will occur is very much individually determined, but beginners or those in the lowest ranges of functional capacity are likely to improve the quickest.
