Training Principles - Test Review

Adjusting a fitness plan and eating a balanced diet will lead to changes in

• Academic Performance

• Personal Relationships

• Personal Health

• Career Choices

Overload is

• How often a person exercises

• Increasing length of workout time

• exercise training that is specific to the muscles used and the components of fitness trained

• Increase in one or more of the FITT variable to provide additional workload

Frequency is

• Number of exercises per week

• Measuring heart rate

• Increase in weight lifting

• Increasing repetitions or sets of a workout

Intensity is

• the number of exercise sessions per week

• the training load expressed as resistance, speed or heat rate

• an increase in one or more of the FITT variables to provide an additional workload

• exercise training specific to the muscles used and the component of fitness trained

Progression is

• the training load expressed as resistance, speed or heart rate

• a gradual increase in one or more of the FITT variable to create an overload

• exercise training specific to the muscles used and the component of fitness trained

• the number of exercise sessions per week

Specificity is

• exercise training specific to the muscles used and the components of fitness trained

• exercise training with an additional workload that is not normally experienced

• the number of exercise sessions per week

• the training load expressed as resistance, speed or heart rate

The variables of the FITT Principle that can be adjusted for training are

• frequency, intensity, and training

• fitness, intensity, and time

• fitness, integrity, and training

• frequency, intensity and time
