7th grade Cardiorespiratory and FITT principle

You can improve or maintain how well heart and lungs work by applying the FITT Principle for:

• Muscular Endurance
• Muscular Strength
• Flexibility
• Cardiorespiratory Endurance

Intensity during a cardiorespiratory endurance workout means: 

• how often an activity is performed
• how hard an activity is performed
• how long an activity is performed 
• where an exercise is performed

To improve cardiorespiratory endurance the frequency of the workout sessions should be:

• 2 to 3 sessions per week
• 1 to 3 sessions per week
• 3 to 5 sessions per week
• 5 to 7 sessions per week

 Cardiorespiratory endurance is best described as the ability of the 

• heart and lungs to work efficiently to supply oxygen to the muscles
•  joints and bones to move through a full range of motion
• muscles to work over a long period of time 
• body to burn calories efficiently

 How long a cardiorespiratory endurance workout session lasts is called a. frequency b. intensity c. time d. type

 If you are walking at a pace that causes your heart to beat less than 50% of its maximum heart rate, which FITT Principle variable do you need to change to improve your cardiorespiratory endurance?

• Frequency
• Intensity
• Time
• Type

 Which FITT Principle variable is changed when you increase the length of a run from 1 mile to 2 miles?

• Frequency
• Intensity
• Time
• Type

According to the FITT Principle, how intense should your cardiorespiratory endurance exercise be?  

• 65% to 85% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 4
• 50% to 65% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 3
• 35% to 50% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 2
• Above 85% of the maximum heart rate or RPE of 5

What is the FITT Principle recommendation for the time that will give you the most benefit from your cardiorespiratory workout? 

• 60 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 20 minutes
• 5 minutes

 Increasing the speed or pace of swimming laps affects the a. frequency b. intensity c. time d. type
