About this resource

Looking at this comprehensive quiz, I can see it focuses squarely on the FITT principle (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) and fundamental training principles in physical education. This material is appropriate for middle school students, specifically grades 6-8, as it introduces foundational fitness concepts through straightforward definitions and practical applications. Students need to understand that effective exercise programming requires systematic planning across four key variables: how often you exercise (frequency), how hard you work (intensity), how long you exercise (time), and what kind of exercise you perform (type). The quiz also tests knowledge of core training principles, particularly the overload principle, which requires the body to work beyond its normal capacity to create adaptation, and the progression principle, which emphasizes gradual increases in training demands. Students must recognize examples of each FITT component and understand that these principles form the foundation for safe, effective workout planning. Created by Kevin Elliott, a Physical Ed teacher in the US who teaches grades 6 and 8. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing fundamental fitness concepts that students will build upon throughout their physical education journey. Teachers can deploy this assessment in multiple instructional contexts: as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge before introducing workout planning, as guided practice during FITT principle instruction, or as formative assessment to gauge student understanding before advancing to more complex training concepts. The quiz works particularly well for homework assignments, allowing students to solidify their grasp of these essential terms and principles outside of class. The content directly supports PE standards focusing on fitness knowledge and concepts, including understanding how to apply training principles to personal fitness planning and demonstrating knowledge of fitness components and their applications.
