II. INTRODUCTION
It is the aim of physical fitness training to expose the body safely to stimuli that cause physiological
and structural adaptations to take place. Positive benefits include the increased capacity of the
body to work for longer periods before the onset of fatigue and the rapid return of the body to
normal once the activity has ceased.
Conversely, there is still much to know about training and despite of the existence of recent training
techniques, there are several fundamental and well established guidelines which form as the basis
for the development of any training programme (Plowman & Smith, 2015).
Ultimately, the only person who can force you to train is yourself. Once you have got over the
barriers of wanting to place stress on your body, you will need to consider how you are going to
introduce that stress. You must fully understand that all training, at its core, is about the
manipulation of stress upon the body. You would apply stress to the body in the form of hard
training and then recover, which allows the body to adapt and get stronger. To improve further
and consistently, you need to continually increase the amount of stress as the body adapts and
returns to homeostasis. To aid your fitness training, there are some principles which you may wish
to consider.

READ ME: Principles of Physical Fitness Training
Every PhysEd 1 student should have The Physical Fitness Training Principles as a foundation for
their programme design. Physical activity plays a large role in peoples lives. Whether you take
part in activity for enjoyment or because you’re aiming to achieve a specific goal, exercise will place
stress on your body. Understanding the physical fitness principles will allow you to monitor the
stress (exercise load) placed upon yourself in order to make the training safe and effective and
helping you to achieve their goals. So let’s take a look at the principles, their definitions and what
they actually mean in lay terms.

Principle 1: Overload
The body will adapt to the workload placed upon it. The more you do, the more you will be capable
of doing. This is how all the fitness improvements occur when exercising and training.
For the body to adapt it needs to be overloaded. This means that when you are working out, you
should strive to somehow increase the workload above what you did on your previous workout to
create a training adaptation. This increase in workout stress can be a very small increase, as many
small increases over time will eventually be a large increase or adaptation.
To determine how to increase the workload of a given workout you need to understanding the
F.I.T.T Principle.
Principle 2: F.I.T.T.
An easy way to get started on developing a personal fitness program is utilizing the F.I.T.T. principle.
This acronym stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type. These are the areas in which you
could increase or overload in order to improve physical fitness.
F = Frequency of training - this refers to how often you will exercise or the number of training ‘
session either daily or weekly in order to find a balance that provides just enough stress for the
body to adapt and also allows enough rest time for healing
I = Intensity of training - this refers to the amount of effort or work that must be completed in a
specific exercise and this too requires a good balance to ensure that the intensity is hard
enough to overload the body, but not so difficult that it results in over training, injury or
burnout.
T = Type of training - What type of exercise will you be doing? Will an exercise session be primarily
cardiovascular, resistance training or a combination of both? And, what specific exercises will
you perform.
T = Time of training (duration) - the amount of time spent training per session or per day. This will
vary based on the intensity and type.

Principle 3: Specificity
How you exercise should be specific to your goals.
Your body’s response to training is based on the specific stimulus (training) applied. So, to increase
adaptation (results), exercise should be specific to an individual’s goals, tasks, movements and
capabilities. It is also known as the Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands (SAID) principle.
If your main goal is simply health, fitness and weight management, you should focus on total body
strength, cardio and a healthy diet. Make sure your training matches your goals.
Rest and Recovery is essential for reaching your weight loss and fitness goals. While you can often
do cardio every day (though you may want to rest after very intense workouts) you should have at
least a day of rest between strength training workouts. Make sure you don't work the same muscles
two days in a row to give your body the time it needs to rest and recover.
Adaptation requires recovery time. It is only during the recovery phase (days between workouts)
that the body is able to change and adapt to the stress of the workout. Adaptation allows you to
either do more work or do the same work with a smaller disruption of baseline values.
Recovery can be improved in a variety of ways, such as effective nutrition and hydration, light
aerobic exercise and stretching sessions.
It is important that you receive sufficient rest between training sessions, after periods of increased
training overload and both before and after competition.
Principle 5: Reversibility
Use it or lose it! Basically, if you stop training then the improvements you have made will be
reversed.
So if you are ill or have a holiday and do not train for a period of time (even as little as a week) you
may not be able to resume training at the point where you left off.
Principle 6: Individuality
This principle maintains that no two individuals will benefit from exercise exactly the same way
physically or psychologically. Difference in genetics, age, experience, body size, and health status can
all affect the outcomes of a workout.
What works for one person may not work for the next. This is important to keep in mind for two
reasons:
1. Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone will have a different genetic make-up and life
situation than you, thus even if you are doing the same workouts, you may see different results.
2. Listen to your body. Find what works best for you and stick with it!

Cool down: helps transfer blood from working muscles back to vital organs. Cool down also is
essential for removing waste.
EXPLAIN
Read Me: Determine your Maximum Heart Rate
Have you ever felt your heart beating quickly during a workout and stopped to check your pulse on
your wrist or neck?
Your pulse determines your heart rate, or how many times your heart beats in one minute. Pulse
rates differ from person to person based on various factors, such as weight and activity level.
To get the best results, you should exercise below your maximum heart rate in what is referred to as
your target heart rate; this will guarantee that you are achieving the ideal intensity level for your
goals. Knowing and monitoring your maximum heart rate while you're active can be a powerful
gauge of your intensity level and help you to avoid over- or underexercising.
According to the American Heart Association, the average person's resting heart rate should be
between 60 and 100 bpm. You'll need to know how to find your pulse in order to calculate your
resting heart rate.
The Karvonen method, otherwise known as the heart rate reserve (HRR) formula, takes your resting
heart rate into consideration by introducing the difference between your maximum heart rate and
your resting heart rate.

Karvonen Formula
220 (-) Age (-) RHR (x) Intensity (+) RHR = Target Heart Rate
Resting Heart Rate - Relaxed, quiet, comfortable, base for your workout. Best taken in the
morning when you wake up (30 seconds x 2).
Recovery Heart Rate - Heart's ability to return itself to a normal rhythm after being elevated
during exercise. If you are fit and in good shape, your heart rate should recover quickly.
Target Heart Rate Zone - Zone you want your heart rate to be in when exercising (60% to 85%
of MHR)

Getting Started: SMART Goal Sheet
Before you start setting your goals, you need to learn how to write a fitness goal. To write goals,
you’re going to use the S.M.A.R.T. goal formula. Your success depends on your fitness goals that
really matter to you. Write down your fitness goals, put them where you can see them, and renew
them regularly.
Here’s how:
1. Set Personal Fitness Goals. Use the My SMART Goal Sheet to set goals that are specific,
measurable, achievable, relevant and timely.
2. Plan Your Activity Calendar. Make a plan to keep active every day. Focus on fun by trying new
activities.

Trade active time for inactive time. Take a walk after dinner, ride an exercise bike or do

Do more of what you are already doing. Walk at a faster pace, walk for 30 minutes instead of
20, or walk five times a week instead of three times.
Work a little harder. Turn your walks into power walks or jogs.
