c/c_Physical and Health Education_Grade 8_les principes d’entraînement pour améliorer la condition physique, y compris le principe FITT, le principe SAID et la spécificité

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 participate in stretching exercises)
