2. LESSON OBJECTIVES
. demonstrate an
understanding of the FITT
goals based on
trainingprinciples to achieve
and/or maintain health related
fitness
create/set FITT programs on
fitness components
propose a plan of what they
want to achieve in terms of
overall fitness level.
3. WHAT IS FITT
PRINCIPLE?
The FITT Principle is a helpful guide in
designing a personalized fitness program that
will address the current fitness level and
trigger positive adaptations. It helps you
create a workplan that will be more effective in
reaching your goals. Let’sbreak each of these
down and look at them one at a time
4. 01
Frequency is how often you exercise. Usually
we measure this by number of days each
week. Frequency is a key component of the
FITT Principle.
02
Intensity is how hard your exercise.
We might categorize this a slow,
moderate, or high intensity. The best
way to gauge the intensity of your
exercise is to monitor your heart rate
04
Type refers to what kind of exercise you are
doing. For example, youmight do
cardiovascular activity (also known simply as
'cardio'), strength training, or a combination
of the two
03
Time refers to the time of day you exercise
and how long each session lasts. The time
dedicated to exercise usually depends on
thetypeof exercise undertaken
5. APPLYING THE
FITT
PRINCIPLE
According to the FITT principle, an
exercise routine should include
exercises and activities that will
improve the health-related fitness
components:
1.cardiorespiratory endurance
2.muscular strength
3. muscular endurance
4.flexibility
7. Aerobic
Capacity
Aerobics exercises are a great way to
improve cardiovascular health, boost
endurance, and burn calories.
Muscular
Endurance
Muscular endurance refers to the ability of a muscle or
group of muscles to perform repetitive contractions
over an extended period without fatigue.
8. Muscular
Strength
Muscular strength is the maximum
amount of force that a muscle or group
of muscles can exert against resistance
in a single effort
Flexibility
Flexibility refers to the range of motion
(ROM) in your joints and the ability of
muscles and soft tissues to stretch. It plays
a crucial role in reducing the risk of injury,
improving posture, and enhancing overall
movement efficiency.
9. Varying exercises, routines, and training variables prevents
boredom and plateaus in progress. Cross-training and changing
workout elements keep the body engaged and responsive to
training.
Directions. Answer the following questions in at least 5 (five) sentences.
1. What are the benefit of FITT principle?
2. How are you going to apply this value in your life?
