Study Notes
Fitt Principle
- Components of the FITT principle include Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type of exercise.
- Frequency refers to the number of workout sessions per week.
-
Intensity encompasses how hard the workout is, considering factors like:
- Levels of exertion and effort during exercises.
- The concept of training to failure, meaning reaching a point where no additional repetitions are possible.
- Training intensity can be measured as a percentage of an individual's maximum capacity or heart rate, often ranging from 50% to 90%.
- Time indicates the duration of each workout, expressed in minutes or hours.
- Type defines the specific nature of the exercise activities, which can include diverse practices such as yoga, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and powerlifting.
Split Routine
- A split routine is a training strategy that divides workout sessions into different muscle groups or body areas.
- Its primary purpose is to enhance recovery times, allowing specific muscle groups to rest while others are trained.
- This approach aids in optimizing performance and progression in training over time.
