FITT Training Principles
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
frequency
the number of training sessions completed over a period of time,
usually per week
intensity
how hard an individual will train
time
how long an individual will train for
type
how an individual will train by selecting a training method to improve a specific component of fitness and/or their sports performance
progressive overload
in order to progress, training needs to be demanding enough to
cause the body to adapt, improving performance
specificity
training should be specific to the individual's sport, activity or
physical/skill-related fitness goals to be developed
individual differences/needs
the programme should be designed to meet individual training
goals and needs
adaptation
how the body reacts to training loads by increasing its ability to
cope with those loads
reversibility
if training stops, or the intensity of training is not sufficient to
cause adaptation, training effects are reversed
variation
it is important to vary the training regime to avoid boredom and
maintain enjoyment [Show Less]
