![]() ![]() Like the first FITT principle – frequency – there must be a balance between finding enough intensity to overload the body (so it can adapt) but not so much that it causes overtraining. It defines the amount of effort that should be invested in a training program or any one session. ![]() The second rule in the FITT principle relates to intensity. Remember though, each time you complete a strenuous strength training session (regardless of the body part) you are taxing your body as a whole – including all the physiological systems and major organs. For example, a program that works every body part every session should be completed 3-4 days a week with a day’s rest between sessions.On the other hand, aprogram that focuses on just one or two body parts per session, in theory you could be completed as frequently as six days per week. The frequency of resistance training is dependent upon the particular individual and format of the program. Of course athletes often fall outside the suggested guidelines but even elite performers must give themselves time to rest. The guidelines for cardiorespiratory training (also called aerobic conditioning) is a minimum of three sessions per week and ideally five or six sessions per week.Experts suggest that little or no benefit is attained over and above this amount. The frequency of exercise is a fine balance between providing just enough stress for the body to adapt to and allowing enough time for healing and adaptation to occur… Following any form of fitness training, the body goes through a process of rebuild and repair to replenish its energy reserves consumed by the exercise. ![]()
