FITT PRINCIPLE - the foundational concepts you need to keep in mind are mention in the acronym
FITT that will help you assess your physical activity to produce health-related fitness benefits.
Frequency – how often you do physical activity in a week.
Intensity – how hard you are working while performing the activity.
Time – how long you are doing the activity.
Type – what type of activity you are doing.
Example:
Frequency
For you see Progress in cardio-respiratory fitness, it is recommended that you do aerobic
exercises three to five days a week.
Intensity
It is recommend that exercising with a target heart rate of 50 to 70 percent of your
maximum heart rate for beginners, and for moderately intense exercise. As they adapt to the
intensity, they may be able to increase the intensity gradually to expect significant
cardiovascular fitness benefits.
You can work at 70 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate during vigorous activity.
Time
Here are some recommendations for physical activity and exercise.
1. Physical Activity
The WHO recommends that those aged 5-17 must get 60 minutes of physical activity
per day. Greater than 60 minutes will give additional health benefits. Most of these activities
should be aerobic exercises.
2. Exercise
The minimum is 30 minutes per day (60 minutes as per the WHO guideline is better) of
moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). It is also acceptable to do shorter sessions of
10 minutes exercise several times within the day.
Type
Any type of rhythmic activity that can sustained continuously for at least 20 minutes and
uses large muscle groups recommended. Examples of such activities are brisk walking, cycling,
and swimming. Some high-intensity anaerobic activities can also be included like sprinting and
weight training.
