FITT Principle

The meaning of Intensity during a 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

The FITT Principle is

• Used to measure how fit and healthy a person is

• A guideline to measure body composition

• A guideline for creating an exercise program

• Another name for fitness

The length of a workout refers to this part of the FITT Principle:

• Frequency

• Intensity

• Time

• Type

Aerobic means:

• with oxygen

• without oxygen

• in the air

• high intensity

Flexibility is one of the components of fitness, name the others:

• cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition

• body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance

• aerobic capacity and anaerobic capacity

• cardiovascular strength, muscular endurance, body composition

A tool used to measure the intensity of your workout is called:

• RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion)

• RDS (Rate of Difficulty Scale)

• RE (Rate of Effort)

• RES (Rate of Exhaustion Scale)

Tom improve muscular strength or endurance, the number of workout sessions should be:

• Daily

• 1-2 sessions per week

• 2-3 session per week

• 5-7 sessions per week

Which activity represents the best way to apply the FITT Principle to muscular strength and muscular endurance:

• Lifting weights at home or in a gym

• Walking to a friends house

• Riding a bike for 2 miles

• Running laps on a track

Changing the amount of weight being lifted in a muscular strength/endurance workout means we are adjusting:

• Frequency

• Intensity

• Time

• Type

To get the most good from a muscular endurance workout, the recommended time (reps) is:

• 9-12 reps

• 4-8 reps

• 13-20 reps

• 1-3 reps
