What is It

Effective training takes time and patience. If one adheres to the proper principles of training, the result will definitely be seen. The performance will be improved and physiological changes will occur as well. A proper program of exercise considers three principles of training: the principle of overload, the principle of progressive, and the principle of specificity.

Principles of Physical Activity

[illustration: four people performing exercises: running, squatting, lunging, a plank on a mat, and a man lifting a medicine ball with one knee raised]

Overload Principle

This principle pertains to doing “more than normal” for improvement to happen. It means to boost our fitness, strength, or endurance. The workload is extended accordingly. Applying these training principles will cause long-term adaptations, enabling the body to figure more efficiently to deal with higher levels of performance.

Overloading will be achieved by following the acronym FITT:

Frequency: Increasing the number of times you train per week Intensity: Increasing the problem of the exercise, for instance, running at 12 km/h rather than 10 or increasing the load you’re squatting with. Time: Increasing the length of your training time for every session, for instance, cycling for 45 minutes rather than 30.

Type: Increase the intensity of the training. For instance, progress from walking to running

Principle of Progression

To ensure that the results will still improve over time, the adapted workload should be continually increased. A gradual and systematic increase within the workload over a period of time will lead to improvement in fitness without risk of injury. If overload occurs and increases rapidly, it may lead to injury or muscle damage. If it increases slowly, improvement is unlikely. For instance, the athlete who exercises vigorously only on weekends violates the principle of progression and may not see obvious fitness gains.

The Principle of Progression also stresses the requirement for correct rest and recovery. Continual stress on the body and constant overload will lead to exhaustion and injury. You ought not to train hard all the time, as you’ll risk overtraining and a decrease in fitness.

Principle of Specificity

We have all heard the phrase, “Practice makes perfect.” Well, this is often the principle of specificity in action. This principle simply states that exercising a specific piece or component of the body primarily develops that part. The principle of specificity implies that to become better at a selected exercise or skill, you need to perform that exercise or skill. For example, a cyclist should be trained in cycling and a runner should be trained in running. Use the acceptable sort of exercise that directly improves your target muscles.

Principle of Reversibility

Development of muscles will happen if regular movement and execution are completed. If activity ceases, it will be reversed. This shows that benefits and changes achieved from overload will last as long as training is continuous. On the flip side, this also implies that the detraining effect will be reversed once training is resumed. Extended rest periods reduce fitness and therefore the physiological effects diminish over time which throws the body back to its pre-training condition.

Note: The effect of training will be lost if the training is discontinued[?]

The F.I.T.T Principle of Physical Activity

Understanding the F.I.T.T. principle helps you create a workout plan which will be beneficial in reaching your fitness goals. F.I.T.T. stands for frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise. These are the four elements you would like to believe to make workouts that suit your goals and fitness level. Learn how the F.I.T.T. principle works.

Table 1. F.I.T.T Principles

Factor	Definition
Frequency	Number of meeting in a week
Intensity	The effort level of the exercise
Time	Period covered in an exercise session
Type	Kind of activity

Frequency

The first thing to identify in the workout plan is frequency—how often you exercise. Your frequency often depends on a spread of things including the sort of workout you’re doing, how hard you’re working, your fitness level, and your exercise goals. Three to five times a week is a safe frequency for each component of health-related physical fitness.

American College of Sports Medicine sets exercise guidelines to provide a place to start figuring out how often to work out:

For cardio: Include your goal, guidelines recommend moderate exercise five or more days every week or intense cardio three days every week to improve your health. If your goal is to lose weight, you’ll need to work often up to six or more days a week.

For strength training: The suggested frequency is two to three non-consecutive days a week, it should be one to two days between sessions. If you are doing a split routine, like the upper body at some point and lower body subsequent, your workouts are going to be more frequent than total body workouts.

Intensity

Intensity refers to how hard you work during the physical activity period. Intensity is often measured in several ways, counting on the health-related component. For instance, monitoring pulse rate is a technique to measure intensity during aerobic endurance activities but gives no indication of intensity during flexibility activities.

For cardio: For cardio, you will usually monitor intensity by heart rate or pulse rate. The recommendation for steady-state workouts is at a moderate intensity and for interval training, it should be done at a high intensity for a shorter period of time.

For strength training: Monitoring the intensity of strength training involves a special set of parameters. The intensity depends on the workload you are doing, the amount of weight you lift, and the number of repetitions and sets. You can change the intensity based on your goals. For a beginner use a lighter weight and do fewer sets with high repetitions (two or three sets of 12 to 20 repetitions). If your goal is to develop muscle, do a higher number of sets with a moderate amount of repetitions (four sets of 10 to 12 reps each). If you want to create strength, use heavyweights to try to do more sets with fewer repetitions, for example, five sets of three repetitions each.

How to get your Target Heart Rate

1. Get the Maximum Heart Rate.

   
   

   MHR = 220 – ________ (your age) MHR =____________

   
   

2. Determine the Heart Rate Reserve.

   
   

   HRR = MHR – ______________ (Resting Heart Rate) HRR= _____________

   
   

3. Take 60% and 80% of the HRR

   
   

   a. 60% x HRR = _________ b. 80% x HRR = _________

   
   

4. Add each HRR to the Resting Heart Rate (RHR) to obtain the Target Heart Rate (THR) range.

   
   

   a. 60% HRR ___ + ______ = ______ beats per minute (RHR)
   b. 80% HRR ___ + ______ = ______ beats per minute (RHR)

   
   

Note: Your resting pulse rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute after you are at rest.

Health Trivia

When it comes to resting heart rate, lower is healthier.

It means your heart muscle is in good condition and it does not need to work strongly to maintain a steady beat. Studies found out that a greater resting pulse rate is connected with poor physical fitness and high blood pressure and body weight.

Time

Time is the length of the physical activity. Considering the other aspects of the F.I.T.T principle, the time differs depending on the health-related fitness component targeted.

For cardio: The suggested cardio exercise is 30 to 60 minutes but the duration of your workout depends on the type of exercise. For a beginner, you might start with a workout of 15 to 20 minutes. If you’re doing steady-state cardio, like going for a run, you may exercise for 30 minutes to an hour. If you’re doing interval training and working at a high intensity, your workout should be shorter, around 20 minutes to a half-hour.

For strength training: How long you lift weights depends on the type of workout you’re doing and on your schedule. For a total body workout, you may take up to an hour, but a split routine may take less time because you’re working for fewer muscle groups.

Type

Type refers to the definite physical activity selected to improve a component of health-related fitness. For example, a person who wants to improve the arm strength should exercise the triceps and biceps, while an individual who wants to improve aerobic endurance needs to execute some other aerobically challenging activities such as jogging, running, swimming.

For Cardio: Cardio is changeable since any activity that makes your heart rate up counts. Dancing, running, walking, jogging, and cycling are some of the wide variety of activities you may choose. Having more than one cardio activity helps reduce boredom.

For strength training: Strength training workouts can also offer a variety of exercises. It includes any exercise using resistance like dumbbells, barbells, machines, and many others to work your muscles. You may also use your body as a resistance tool. You may change the type of your strength workout depending on your goal.

How to Use the F.I.T.T Principle in Your Workout

The F.I.T.T. principle provides guides on how to control your program and get favorable results. To avoid boredom, injuries, and weight loss plateaus, this principle will help you figure out how to alter workout types, time, intensity, and activities.

For example, walking three times a week for 30 minutes at a moderate pace might be a great help for a beginner. Your body adjusts to these workouts and several things may happen after a few weeks such as:

• Burn fewer calories
• Weight loss
• Boredom sets in

You may also utilize one or more of the F.I.T.T. principles, such as:

• Changing the frequency by adding a day of jogging or walking
• Changing the intensity by adding some running intervals or walking faster
• Changing the time spent jogging each workout day
• Changing the type of workout by dancing, cycling, or running.

Changing one of the elements will create a big difference in the workout plan and in how your body reacts to exercise. It’s significant to alter things up on a regular basis to keep your body and mind healthy.

Muscle develops once the body is trained to do more than what it used to. The Principles of Training implies that overloading helps develop targeted muscle areas. Benefits of this can be achieved through continuous overloading, or else, if stopped, it will go back to its original form.

FITT principle acknowledges the importance of optimum fitness development. It stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. The physical activity program is used as a guideline for a fitness routine to achieve results. Execution of exercise is also related to its intensity. The more the activity is repeated, the more chances of developing fitness.

Intensity is defined as how easy or hard the designed task is accomplished or the magnitude of work done. The body’s response by the number of times the heart pumps measured in beats per minute determines the intensity. Workable heart rate capacity will help in getting the ideal Target Heart Rate (THR) range.

Proper choosing of activities helps to achieve goals set by specifying the target muscles to develop. To keep activities exciting and interesting, setting up variations in exercises or routines may help.

Part of an Exercise Program

An exercise workout has three components: warm-up, exercise load, and cool-down. The exercise load or workout load is the program activity that would stimulate beneficial adaptation when performed regularly. A warm-up is essential prior to the actual workload as it prepares the body for more strenuous activity. It increases the blood flow to the working muscles without an abrupt increase in lactic acid accumulation. According to research, the warmer the body and muscle, the higher the muscular output. A good warm-up also prepares the heart, muscles, and joints for the next activity by decreasing joint stiffness and increasing nerve impulses. Cool-down is essential after a workout as it permits the pre-exercise heart rate and blood pressure for a gradual recovery. Cooling down may be most vital for competitive endurance athletes, like marathoners, because it helps regulate blood flow.

Warm-up – At least 5 to 10 minutes of low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise or resistance exercise with lighter weights.

Conditioning -15 to 60 minutes of aerobic, resistance, neuromuscular, and/or sport activities

Cool-down – At least 5 to 10 minutes of low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise or resistance exercise with lighter weights

Stretching – At least 10 minutes of stretching exercises performed after the warm-up or cool-down phase

Note: For a beginner at least 15 to 30-minute exercise load

Methods for Assessing Aerobic Intensity

Metabolic equivalents (METs) express aerobic intensity as mL per kg per min of oxygen being consumed.

• The energy expenditure while sitting at rest is equal to 1MET. It is taken by convention to be an oxygen uptake of 3.5 mL per kg of body weight per min.
• Light-intensity aerobic activity is an activity done at 1.1 to 2.9 METs, moderate-intensity activity is an activity done at 3 to 5.9 METs while vigorous activity is an activity done at ≥ 6 METs.

The intensity of aerobic activities is sometimes measured as the speed of the activity (for example, walking at 5 km/h, jogging at 10 km/h).

Table 2. MET Equivalents of Common Aerobic Activities

Types of Activity	Light <3METS	Moderate 3 to <6METS	Vigorous ≥ 6 METs
Walking	Walking slowly around home, store or office = 2.0	• Walking ~5 km/h = 3.3 • Brisk walking at ~6 km/h = 5.0	• Walking at very brisk pace (~7 km/h) = 6.3 • Jogging at 8 km/h = 8.0 • Jogging at 10 km/h = 10.0 • Running at 11 km/h = 11.5
Household Chore and Occupation	• Sitting — using computer work at the desk using light hand tools = 1.5 • Standing performing light work such as making the bed, washing dishes, or preparing food = 2.0–2.5	• Cleaning — heavy: washing windows or car = 3.0 • Sweeping floors or carpet, vacuuming, mopping = 3.0–3.5	Shoveling, digging ditches = 8.5 • Carrying heavy loads such as bricks = 7.5
Leisure and Sports	• Arts & crafts, playing cards = 1.5 • Playing most musical instruments = 2.0–2.5	• Badminton — recreational = 4.5 • Cycling — on flat: light effort (16–19 km/h) = 6.0 • Golf — walking pulling clubs = 4.3 • Table tennis = 4.0 • Tennis doubles = 5.0 • Volleyball — noncompetitive = 3.0–4.0 • Swimming leisurely = 6.0	• Basketball game = 8.0 • Cycling — on flat: moderate effort (20–22 mph) = 8.0; fast (23–26 mph) = 10 • Football — casual = 7.0; competitive = 10.0 • Swimming — moderate/hard = 8–11 • Tennis singles = 8.0

Additional Activities

According to Nicole Blades a certified trainer in Connecticut, “Plank is one of those jack-of-all-trades exercises you can carry in your back pocket to strengthen not only your core, but also your chest, arms, back, legs, and booty”, she added a “plank with proper form can help improve your posture. The best part is, this dynamic move doesn’t require any equipment. It’s a total body weight exercise”.

How to Do a Plank

1. Place your forearms on the floor, elbows aligned with your shoulders and arms about shoulder width apart and parallel to your body.
2. Ground your toes into the floor and gluts firmly press to hold steady your body. Your legs should be working, too — be careful not to lock your knees.
3. Neutralize your neck and spine by observing the spot on the floor.
4. Maintain your position for at least 20 seconds. Maintain your plank for as long as manageable without compromising your form or breath.
