HOPE 2 - FITT Principle

What principle suggests that in order for muscles to get stronger, additional load must be added and greater load exerted than what was previously used?

• Principle Overload

• Principle of Progression

• Principle of Reversibility/Disuse

• Principle of Specificity

According to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines, how many days per week is it recommended to exercise for optimal results?

• 1-2 days

• 3-5 days

• 6-7 days

• 8-10 days

What does the intensity of exercise refer to?

• The frequency of exercise

• The type of exercise

• The magnitude of the effort required to perform an activity

• The duration of the exercise session

How is the intensity level target determined for an individual?

• Based on the type of activity chosen

• By considering the resting heart rate only

• By computing the target heart rate range

• By following the principle of reversibility

Which principle suggests that the development of muscles will be reversed if regular movement and execution of activity cease?

• Principle of Progression

• Principle Overload

• Principle of Reversibility/Disuse

• Principle of Specificity

What element of the FITT principle refers to the number of times a physical activity is done in each week?

• Frequency

• Intensity

• Time

• Type

What does the principle of specificity suggest regarding physical activity?

• Any type of activity will improve overall fitness

• All muscle groups should be targeted equally during exercise

• Overloading must specifically train a desired body part to improve it

• The intensity level should remain constant throughout the workout

What element of the FITT principle refers to the duration or length of a physical activity session?

• Frequency

• Intensity

• Time

• Type
