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.
