Progression Principle
 Adapts or plateaus
 Build up of intensity and or duration
Regularity Principle
 Habit of exercise
 Training the mind, body and muscles
Overload Principle
 Growth
 Increasing the challenge (weight, reps,
set or time) to improve muscle strength
 Leaving your comfort zone
Specificity Principle
 Properly train to develop certain areas of
the body (upper and lower body, abs)
 Types of exercise: Aerobic, Strength
training, balance, ROM/ Flexibility
Aerobic FITT Prescription
Frequency Intensity Time Type
Aerobic 5- 6 times 60-90% to target the heart rate 20-60 minutes Elliptical
weekly Elliptical stride 140-150, incline 5-10, Treadmill
Resistance 2.5-3.5 HIIT/circuit
Treadmill HIIT: 5-minute walk at 3.5 with Jumping Jacks x60
incline 2.5, sprint 1 minute at 6.5, walk 1 Jump rope x 150 or 2 minutes
minute at 3.5 repeat 8 times

P: “Greater demand (intensity or duration) continually placed on the


body in incremental stages”.
R: “Practiced at regular intervals”.
O: “Continue to have overload present, to prevent adaption or plateaus”
S: “Training effects are specific to the muscle groups used during
training and the type of training program implemented .
Training specifically for the movement pattern, speed, joint position,
speed, and type of contraction produces improvement, specifically in
those movement parameters”
Muscle Strengthening FITT
Prescription
Frequency Intensity Time Type

Muscle 5 times 8-10 reps, 4 sets, 4-5 exercises 30-40 minutes Free weights, weighted
Strengthening weekly machines, resistance bands,
body weight

Flexibility FITT Prescription
Frequency Intensity Time Type

Flexibility Daily: Warm Hold stretch for 10-15 seconds and release. 5-10 minutes Dynamic Stretches (before
up & cool Should feel tension, not pain. Repeat 3 exercise)
down times Static Stretches (after
exercise)
