TRAINING PRINCIPLES
FITT PRINCIPLES
The F.I.T.T. Principle Of Training Can Be Applied To All Methods Of Training.
FITT Means:
Frequency: The number of times per week you train, for maximum benefit you should look to train 3 times per week minimum.
Intensity: The level of which you workout at. This can be measured by your heart rate.
Time: Length of time that you spend on each workout. This should be for at least 30mins, but an hour is what you should be looking at each workout.
Type: What the exercise is, whether it is resistance or CV, it should be a combination of both.
OTHER PRINCIPLES IN TRAINING:
Overload: Increasing the resistance so that it is greater than the body is used to.
Progression: Moving on, so as the level of training gets easier, as the body adapts you increase the effort level at which you are working at.
Reversibility: If you don’t train you will loose the benefits that you have gained, loosing fitness levels, or loss of muscle tone.
Specificity: This could relate to training for a specific sport, or for training a particular part of your body.
