The FITT model is one of many styles of exercise plans. This plan focuses on Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type, with each of the initials of FITT beginning one of the words.

However, what most likely put me over the top was my consumption of soft and crunchy white chocolate macadamia nut cookies that I so much enjoy.…
Within this lab we studied and compared the quantity of effort throughout intermittent and continuous exercise on a cycle ergometer. The time to fatigue, and recovery time was also considered during each type of exercise. To look at muscular fatigue in this lab we used a sub maximal test, this was used because maximal tests can be harmful to participants. Muscular endurance can be described as the ability of a muscle or muscle groups to do continual muscular contractions with resistance, when the muscle can no longer work at a given rate that is fatigue. Muscles that fatigue quickly have low endurance, muscles that take time to fatigue can be categorised as muscles with high endurance.…

In Witt, J. K., & Proffitt, D. R. (2005), the experiments assess whether the influence of effort on distance perception is generally or functionally specific. In the first three experiments, the effort for throwing was manipulated by having half of the participants throw a heavy ball and the other half throw a light ball. It was found that effort for throwing influenced verbal reports of distance as well as perceptual distance - matching tasks, but, effort for throwing did not influence blindwalking. In the fourth experiment, the effort for throwing was manipulated as well as intention for action. All participants threw a heavy ball and then made verbal estimates of distance.…
Numerous sports have evolved since they were originally developed. Helmets, pads, and forward passes were added to football to prevent serious injury.

However, the average adult may believe that the sport of cross-country doesn’t appear to have evolved from its origins; if they looked closely they would be surprised. To gain an insight from this sport’s past and present, I will compare distances, practices, and amount of competitors between cross-country in the 1980’s and now.…
