The Fitt Principle

The FITT principle outlines an effective framework for developing and adjusting exercise programs based on Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.

F - Frequency

This section focuses on the frequency of physical activity and its significance in achieving fitness goals.

I - Intensity

This section focuses on the 'Intensity' component of the FITT principle in personal fitness, explaining how to determine the appropriate level of effort during exercises.

T - Time

This section focuses on the 'Time' aspect of the FITT principle, discussing the duration of exercise sessions and its importance for achieving fitness goals.

T - Type

This section outlines the critical principles of training that enhance personal fitness through structured exercise programs.

Progressive Overload

Progressive overload is a training principle that involves gradually increasing the intensity of exercise to improve strength and fitness.

Specificity

The principle of specificity states that to improve in a particular fitness area, such as strength or endurance, one must engage specifically in training tailored to that area.

Reversibility

The principle of reversibility states that fitness gains can be lost when training is stopped or significantly reduced.
