Fitness Progress Checks:
Terms to Know:
Fitness Components
-Cardiovascular Endurance: is the body's ability to maintain an exercise for an extended period of time within the person's
Target Heart Rate Zone. As a person improves this component the body will be able to use oxygen
more efficiently during exercise.
-Muscular Endurance: is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to contract numerous times without tiring. As a person
improves this component they will have the ability to complete an exercise for an extended period of
time.
-Muscular Strength: is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert force. As a person improves this component they
will increase the amount of force a muscle exerts or the amount of weight that can be lifted.
-Flexibility: is the body's ability to bend at its joints. Increasing this component reduces the risk of injury during exercise.
-Body Mass Index:
F.I.T.T. Principle
F- Frequency: How often you complete an exercise
I- Intensity: How effort you put into an exercise (speed, weight, force)
T- Time: How long you spend on an exercise
T- Type: Which fitness component does this exercise fall under
Training Principles:
The principle of...........
- Specificity:
- Progression:
- Regularity:
