    Study Notes

    FITT 2 Fitness Exercises Course Overview

    • Provides training in core stability, strength, and mobility
    • Covers goal setting, exercise progression, and regression, as well as periodic assessment for developing various fitness components

    Benefits of Exercise

    • Hypokinetic diseases are associated with inactivity and poor fitness, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, lower back pain, and type 2 diabetes mellitus
    • Physically active people have a 33-50% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to inactive people
    • Exercise can improve overall health and well-being

    Warm-up and Cool-down Exercises

    • Purpose of warm-up: to raise body temperature to 39-40 degrees, increasing muscle and tendon extensibility, and preparing muscles for exercise
    • Types of warm-up:
      • Passive warm-up: increases body temperature through external means (e.g., bath, massage)
      • General warm-up: increases body temperature through general rhythmic body movements (e.g., jogging, cycling, rowing)
      • Exercise-specific warm-up: increases body temperature while using specific muscle groups to be used in the exercise
    • Purpose of cool-down: to return the body to a pre-exercise state, reducing muscle soreness and improving flexibility
    • Types of stretching:
      • Static stretching: holding the stretch to the end of the muscle's movement, normally held for 8-10 seconds
      • Dynamic stretching: preparing for exercise by mimicking the movements of the activity

    Training Principles

    • SPORT Principles:
      • Specificity: tailoring the program to the client's goals
      • Progression: increasing the level of fitness over time
      • Overload: gradually increasing the stress placed on the body during exercise
      • Reversibility: entering the maintenance phase of training once the client has reached their intended goal
      • Tedium: avoiding boredom and mental fatigue during training

    Fitness Components

    • Cardio training: improving cardiovascular health and endurance
    • Core training: strengthening the muscles of the core
    • Circuit training: a series of exercises performed in a specific order
    • Plyometric training: high-intensity, explosive movements
    • High-intensity interval training (HIIT): alternating between high-intensity exercise and rest periods
    • TABATA: a specific form of HIIT involving 20 seconds of all-out effort followed by 10 seconds of rest
    • Weight training: using weights to improve strength and muscle mass
    • Fartlek training: a Swedish term meaning "speed play," involving varying intensities and speeds during exercise
