TRAINING PRINCIPLES
The F.I.T.T. Principle Of Training Can Be Applied To All Methods Of Training.
FITT Means:
Frequency: The number of times each week that you train, for maximum benefit you should be doing at least 3sessions per week.
Intensity: The level of which you workout at. This can be measured by Heart-Rate.
Time: Length of time that we spend on each workout. You should aim towards each session being 1hour.
Type: what exercise is, whether it is resistance training or CV (cardiovascular). 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 lose 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 the body.
