Three principles of training
Overload
Progression
Specificity
Overload
The body will become stronger and function better if increased demands are placed upon it
Progression
Slowly and gradually increase the amount of work for improvement to occur
Specificity
Specific exercises will improve specific components of fitness in specific body parts
What does F.I.T. stand for and mean?
Frequency-how often
Intensity-how hard
Time-how long
Name the five health related components of fitness
Cardiovascular Flexibility Muscular strength Muscular endurance Body composition
Cardiovascular Fitness
Ability of heart, blood, blood vessels, and respiratory system to supply oxygen to muscles during exercise
Flexibility
Range of movement possible at various joints
Muscular Strength
Ability of muscle groups to apply maximal force against a resistance one time
Muscular Endurance
Ability of muscle groups to repeat muscle movements for a long period of time
Body Composition
Ratio of fat to lean muscle mass
F.I.T. Guidelines for Flexibility
Frequency=everyday
Intensity=stretch slowly until mild tension is felt
Time=static-hold for 15-30 seconds
F.I.T. Guidelines for Cardiovascular Fitness
Frequency=everyday
Intensity=60-90% MHR
Time= 60 minutes
F.I.T. Guidelines for Muscular Endurance
Frequency=every other day per large muscle group, 3-4x per week
Intensity=30-50% of MHR
Time=12-20 reps, 1-3 sets
F.I.T. Guidelines for Muscular Strength
Frequency=every other day
Intensity=60-90% of MHR
Time= 4-8 reps, 1-3 reps
