FACTS
The FITT Principle
THE FITT PRINCIPLE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type
All of these principles must be taken into consideration when undertaking a training program by combining these
four elements, a person may achieve the minimum of level of fitness, or by adapting them further increasing the
intensity, a person can train to a higher level.
Frequency - How often or how many times per week you exercise. It is the number of times exercise is
undertaken in a week. The more times a person exercises the more often their body is put under stress.
Exercising between three and five times a week is the recommended amount to reach the minimum level of
fitness. Physical activity as part of your healthy, active lifestyle Top-class sportspeople have to train a lot more
frequently, often several sessions a day, but training very hard, every day, can also be harmful, even for a top-
class athlete.
Intensity - How hard you exercise (how fast you run or how much weight you lift). It is the level of difficulty of
the exercise. In cardiovascular training, working in a target zone of 60 to 80 percent of the maximum heart rate
is the level where fitness will usually increase. Your exercise intensity also depends on your level of training and
it also depends on the type of exercise you performing. Exercise intensity is described as low, moderate, or high.
For example;
● Running intensities:
Slow pace - like a turtle
Moderate pace - like a dog
Fast pace - like a horse
● Weight lifting exercise intensities: Light weights
Moderate weights Vigorous weights
When training for strength, the intensity is calculated in the same way. A person can train within the target zone
by finding the maximum weight they can lift and working to 60 to 80 percent of that weight.
Active lifestyle as the amount of weight lifted increases with training, this will add to the intensity.
Time - How long you train (the amount of time you spend exercising). It refers to how long an exercise session
lasts. 30 minutes, to include a warm-up is the recommended length of a session in order to maintain good health
and fitness.
The following are useful rules to follow in an exercise session:
1. Keep your pulse at 60 to 80 percent of its maximum for 20 minutes (the maximum can be calculated by using
this formula: 220 – your age).
2. Warming-up is not included in the 20 minutes.
3. The time begins when the pulse is at 60 percent of your maximum.
Type - The kind of exercise you choose. It refers to the variety of training a performer undertakes. If general
fitness is the aim, it can be a matter of personal preference to suit the individual. If training for a specific event
then less of a choice can be made, as the training should reflect the activity. In this instance, type links closely
with the principle of specificity.

4. Reversibility - development of muscles will take place if regular movement and execution are done, and
if activity ceases, it will be reversed. This shows that the benefits and changes achieved from overload
will last only if training continues. The training effects are lost if the training is discontinued.
