    Study Notes

    Principles of Training

    • Principle of Overload: Involves increasing the stress or resistance on the body beyond its usual limits to enhance fitness levels. Essential for triggering physiological adaptations.

    • F.I.T.T. Principle: A framework for structuring an exercise program, consisting of:

      • Frequency: How often exercise occurs in a given period.
      • Intensity: The effort level or degree of exertion during workouts.
      • Time: The duration of each exercise session.
      • Type: The specific kind of exercise performed.

    Key Components of Frequency, Intensity, and Time

    • Frequency: Refers to the number of times an exercise is performed over a specific timeframe, crucial for establishing a routine and ensuring adequate training adaptation.

    • Intensity: Describes the level of effort required during exercise; higher intensity typically leads to greater fitness gains but also increases risk of injury if not managed properly.

    • Time: Indicates the total duration of exercise, impacting the effectiveness of workouts and alignment with fitness goals.

    Additional Training Principles

    • Principle of Progression: Emphasizes gradual increases in training demands to continually challenge the body and promote improvement.

    • Principle of Specificity: Highlights that training should be tailored to meet specific fitness goals; workouts must evolve from general activities to targeted exercises as one advances in their training journey.
