FITT Principle

A framework for creating a workout plan that effectively reaches fitness goals. It considers Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type of exercise.

Overload Principle

A principle of training that states that to improve, you must challenge your body slightly beyond its current capacity.

Progression Principle

A principle of training that encourages gradual increases in training load over time to avoid injury and maintain improvements.

Specificity Principle

The principle that training effects are specific to the type of exercise performed.

Study Notes

Principle of Specificity

  • The Principle of Specificity says that to improve in a particular area of fitness, you need to do exercises that are specific to that area.
  • For example, if you want to improve your running speed, you need to do running exercises.
  • This is also known as the SAID Principle: Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands.

F.I.T.T. Principle

  • The F.I.T.T. Principle is a framework used to guide exercise programming.
  • It stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
  • Frequency refers to how often you exercise.

Principle of Overload

  • The Principle of Overload states that in order to see improvements in fitness, the body must be challenged beyond its normal level.
  • This can be achieved by increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise.
  • The body adapts to the demands placed upon it.

Benefits of Physical Activity

  • Engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity is linked to reduced risk of many chronic diseases, like heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer.

Flexibility Exercises

  • Flexibility exercises are specifically designed to improve range of motion, which is the ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion.
  • Stretching and yoga are popular examples of flexibility exercises.

Progression

  • Progression refers to the gradual increase in training load over time.
  • This is important for avoiding injury and keeping training challenging.
  • Progression can involve increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise.

Muscular Strength and Endurance Training

  • Exercises like circuit training are great examples of muscular strength and endurance training.
  • Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises in a circuit, with minimal rest between exercises.
  • This approach builds strength and endurance, challenging different muscle groups simultaneously.

Type of Exercise

  • Type in the F.I.T.T. Principle relates to the kind of exercise being performed.
  • For example, cardiovascular exercise like running, swimming, or biking, would be considered different types of exercise.
  • Strength training exercises, like weightlifting, would be another type of exercise.
  • The type of exercise selected should be relevant to your goals.
