The F.I.T.T. Principle The F.I.T.T. principle is a set of guideline that helps people set up a workout program or routine that adheres to their personal goals and fitness level while helping them get the most out of their routine. The F.I.T.T. principle is used typically for the general public than athletes to get the most beneficial form of a fitness program for each person individually. F.I.T.T. stands for frequency, intensity, type, and time; when they are all put together differently and uniquely for each person, to give them the best exercise routine possible which can be modified at any time. Frequency is how often you exercise, intensity is how hard you walk during an exercise, type is the type of activity you are doing, and time is how long you exercise. The two different types of exercise training are cardiovascular and strength training. Cardiovascular training or aerobic conditioning is any exercise that raises heart rate and by doing so exercises the heart muscle and other muscles depending on the exercise. …show more content…
principle, frequency, there must be a balance between finding enough intensity to overload so it is able to adapt but not so much that it causes overtraining. For resistance training workload is the primary use to determine the intensity of resistance training. Workload can have three components, which are the amount of weight lifted during a workout, the number of repetitions completed during a particular exercise, and the length of time to complete all exercises in a set or the total training session. The workload can be increased by lifting heavier weights or by increasing the number of repetitions or lifting the same amount of weight for the same number of receptions but decreasing the rest time between each set. For strength workouts there should ideally be around 1 to 3 sets of 8 to 16 reps of each exercise and should be doing at least 8 to 10
