1. The Principles of Physical Activity

2. OVERLOAD PRINCIPLE This is the most basic principle that indicates doing “more than normal” for improvement to happen.

3. PRINCIPLE OF PROGRESSION It is a gradual increase in exerting effort or load that is done not too slowly, nor too rapidly. This principle aids safe and effective results.

4. PRINCIPLE OF SPECIFICITY This suggests that overloading must specifically train a desired body part for it to improve.

5. PRINCIPLE OF REVERSIBILITY Development of muscles will take place if regular movement and execution is done, and if activity ceases, it will be reversed. The effect of training is lost if the training is discontinued.

6. The FITT Principle of Physical Activity

7. Frequency The frequency of exercise refers to the number of times a physical activity is done in each week. Talks about how often you exercise.

8. Intensity The rate at which the activity is performed is called Intensity. It describes how easy or how hard a person has to work in a certain activity, and it varies from one person to another. How hard you exercise

9. Type The type of activity is determined by following the principle of progression and specificity. To attain a higher level of fitness, select the type of physical activity that challenges the body to accept an increase in work and answers you need. What kind of exercise you do.

10. Time Time is the duration or the length of session of a physical activity. It is inversely related to Intensity since the more intense a work is done, the shorter time it is performed. How long you exercise.

11. FITT Principle & Target Heart Rate – Identification Quiz

12. This component of FITT refers to how often you exercise. This component of FITT refers to the kind of exercise you do. It is the formula used to estimate your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). This component of FITT refers to how hard your body works during exercise.

13. 5. It is the number of heartbeats per minute while your body is at complete rest . 6. The complete formula for computing Target Heart Rate (Karvonen Formula) .

14. 7. Compute the THR of a 16-year-old with a resting heart rate of 60 bpm exercising at 60% intensity. 8. Compute the THR of a 17-year-old with a RHR of 65 bpm at 80% intensity.

15. 9. Increasing your workout from 3 days to 5 days a week changes this component. 10. What is the Target Heart Rate of an 18-year-old with a resting heart rate of 70 bpm training at 60% and 80% intensity?
