principles of program design, including training principles to enhance personal fitness levels, such as the FITT principle, SAID principle, and specificity
Elaboration
- a guideline to help develop and organize personal fitness goals based on:
- Frequency – how many days per week
- Intensity – how hard one exercises in the activity (e.g., percentage of maximum heart rate)
- Type – the type of activity or exercise, focusing on the fitness goal (e.g., jogging for cardio endurance)
- Time – how long the exercise session lasts
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand: the body will react and respond to the type of demand placed on it (e.g., a student’s flexibility will eventually improve if he or she participates in regular stretching activities).
The types of exercises chosen will determine the kinds of fitness improvements (e.g., a student who wants to improve his or her flexibility levels would perform stretching exercises).
