Transfer

In 2000 I wrote, published and claimed copyright on this concept (bolding added now):

The principle of transfer focuses on what effect on performance occurred from the training used. In other words, this principle places more importance on doing the training that gives the best result as measured by performance, than it does on conforming with specificity for the sake of specificity.

I was conducting research and I came upon the following exercise in a publication copyright claimed by another 'author' at a subsequent date (bolding added):

this principle focuses on to what degree each quality trained in the gym or in practice actually TRANSFERS to an on-the-field or in-the-ring performance. This principle therefore places more importance on doing the training that gives the best result as measured by sports performance, than it does on conforming to specificity for the sake of specificity. For example – will the time taken to achieve a 400lb squat as opposed to a 300 lb squat actually be worth the time invested when you step into the ring?

And I said to myself: “That looks familiar!” So I cross-referenced it and I said to myself: “Wow! No wonder that looked familiar!”
