FITT principles

Frequency - Intensity - Time - Type

QuestionAnswer
when planning a program of activity it is essential to consider which principles Frequency. Intensity, Time, Type
Which training principle do the following fit with - Frequency. Intensity, Time, Type the FITT principle
FITT principle - FREQUENCY of training means The number of training sessions per week
FITT principle - INTENSITY of training means How hard will the activities be
FITT principle - TIME of training means How long will the activity be performed
FITT principle - TYPE of training means Specific activities to be done, eg strength, endurance, running, walking etc
which FITT principle should reflect your clients goals, current fitness level, their available time & recovery time FREQUENCY
which FITT principle should also consider - Clients fitness level, Component of fitness & Exercise intensity FREQUENCY
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (clients fitness level consideration) for an "untrained inactive individual" Gradually increasing daily activity levels so they are eventually active at a moderate intensity five+ days a week
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (clients fitness level consideration) for an "Beginner" Scheduled exercise sessions for a beginner may be planned on two to three non-consecutive days a week (with a rest in between each session)
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (clients fitness level consideration) for an "Athlete" may train up to 12 times a week, with morning and evening sessions on many days
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (component of fitness) - when is it safe to stretch every day if the muscles are warm
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (component of fitness) - how much rest is required for training muscular strength/endurance wise if the same muscle groups are being used 48 hours
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (component of fitness) - when can muscular training be more frequent If different muscle groups are worked on different days (e.g. a split routine),
what is the name given, if different muscle groups are worked on different days a split routine
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (exercise intensity) - how often can "moderate intensity aerobic" exercise be performed every day
FITT principle - FREQUENCY (exercise intensity) - how often can "vigorous intensity aerobic" exercise be performed 3 days a week as a guide
FITT principle - INTENSITY - which individual factors will determine a clients intensity of exercise ? existing skill level & fitness
FITT principle - INTENSITY - which goals & components of fitness will determine a clients intensity of exercise ? strength, flexibility or CV
FITT principle - INTENSITY - how could the intensity of a clients CV exercise be gauged ? using Heart Rate or RPE (rate of perceived exertion)
what is RPE Rate of Perceived exertion is how hard you feel your body is working and marked on a scale of 6 to 20 (the borg scale) eg 6 no exertion at all - 20 maximal exertion
FITT principle - INTENSITY - how could the intensity of a clients flexibility be gauged ? The intensity of flexibility exercise is traditionally monitored by measuring the range of movement (ROM)
FITT principle - INTENSITY - how could the intensity of a clients muscle strength & endurance be gauged ? is traditionally monitored by measuring the resistance lifted and the number of repetitions
FITT principle - TIME - whats the minimum duration of training ti improve CV fitness excluding warm up/cool down ? 20-30 mins
FITT principle - TIME - what duration time wise should be give for muscular fitness training ? sufficient time must be allocated to train all major groups and perform the planned sets and repetitions for each specific exercise
FITT principle - TIME - what duration time wise should be give for stretching ? The time allocated for stretching should be sufficient to incorporate all major muscle groups for the appropriate number of seconds
FITT principle - TIME - what time scale is normally applied to group sessions including warm up /cool down ? usually minimum of 45 mins to a max of 90 mins
FITT principle - TIME - what time scale is normally applied to group sessions including warm up /cool down ? usually between 45 mins to 120 mins eg a circuit weight training session integrating CV and muscular exercises may require less time than a strength-based resistance program using more sets and longer rests between sets
FITT principle - TYPE - Gym based exercise tends to involve what ? CV machines, Fixed resistance machines, Free weights, Portable equipment, Body weight
FITT principle - TYPE - Group based exercise tends to involve what ? Body Weight, Light free weights, mats, Portable Equipment, if swimming floats etc
FIIT principles - Resistance, ROM and rest Time rested between sets are variables that relate to the "what" of an exercise or activity ? the intensity
FIIT principles - what 3 variables can be altered to progress or regress the degree of challenge in any given exercise or activity ? Resistance, ROM and rest Time rested between sets
FIIT principles - what two variables DO NOT apply to progression or regression for exercise session duration (purely relates to the session time) & weekly sessions is is described in programming terms as the frequency of training
