Fitness Training Flashcards
FITT Principle
Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type of Exercise
Type
Type of exercise to determine a goal and the type of training in order to reach it using SAID (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand)
Time
Time spent doing an exercise
Like:
How much Cardio, Strength training, skill training, drills, or rest period is needed
Intensity
Effort put into an activity and how hard exercise needs to be
Track intensity - max heart rate of endurance work, % of repetition for weight training, velocity of movement for velocity based training
Frequency
How often we need to do activity and it’s dependent on intensity and type
Adding more frequency will increase volume thus better for muscle growth
Progressive overloading
Overload = doing more work over time
Way to adding more work over time in structure way to achieve growth in performance/hypertropy/motor skills
Volume = Load x Repetition x Set
Load = Amount of weight being lifted
Repetition = Num of times we repeat the movement p set
Set = collection of reps
Increase work over time
Volume and displacement which is shortest distance covered from one pt to another, full range of motion
Adding more frequency
Covering more distance
Paused reps, drops sets, controlled eccentrics
Adding more velocity
Things to keep in mind when overloading
Form, control, and range of motion
Overloading for intermediate will require alterations in more acute training variables
Careful when on calorie deficiet
Load variable without injuries
Total workout time
Training volume
Measure of total amount of work done in training session
Training volume
Training volume load - sets x reps x weight
Repetition = sets x reps
Relative volume = sets x reps x % 1RM
Set volume = total sets performed p muscle group
Repetition volume
Does not consider load
Relative volume
Compare the volume in different exercises targeting the same muscle group
Set volume
Total sets performed
Training frequency
How many times type of training is done
Two factors:
Muscle anabolism
Recovery
MPS and training frequency
MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) increases for several hours which builds muscles. It increases after training session and then peak the next 4-5 hours and then declining to baseline level in 24 to 72 hours finally
Volume is directly proportional to MPS respond (Muscle anabolism)
MPS frequency and recovery
More volume = more fatigue
Solution - split training so like instead of doing 20 sets of chest in one day do it 2+ sessions in a week
Intensity is measured as percentage of repitition maximum (RM) which is the max weight that can be lifted w good form for a number of repetitions like 8RM would be weight you can lift for 8 repetitions before technical failure.
Intensity and rep have inverse relationship-
High = 1-5 reps
Mod = 6-12 reps
Low = 12+
Training at high intensity result in greater muscle tension and lesser muscle damage and metabolic stress which is good for increasing muscular strength = power lifters with 1RM but risk of injuries is high so need extended rest periods so longer training sessions
Low to moderate intensity will lesser muscle tension but max effective reps and metabolic stress since increases muscular endurance
