a. he can focus on progression, increasing the intensity and time he spends on the paddleboard.

Explanation:

Using the principle of progression is a great idea for Lucas to be able to increase his physical level before the competition, in a healthy way and without compromising his body and his health.

This is because the progression allows the athlete to gradually increase the level and intensity of their exercises or physical activities, allowing the body to adapt to overcome an increasing effort. In this way the level of physical fitness of the athlete is improved, making this athlete withstand increasingly "heavy" physical activities.
