    Tahj Washington discusses components of the FITT principle for exercise - frequency, intensity, time, and type. He describes applying the FITT principle to cardiorespiratory fitness, noting recommendations of 3-5 days per week, 64-96% of maximum heart rate, and 20-60 minutes for time. Washington also identifies common fitness injuries like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and runner's knee and provides prevention and treatment recommendations. For someone with asthma in a fitness program, he suggests visiting a doctor, partaking in regular activity to strengthen respiratory muscles, warming up and cooling down slowly, and always having an inhaler available during workouts.

    Chapter 10 Discussion Questions


    1. Identify and describe the components of the FITT principle.
    Frequency- refers to how often you must exercise
    Intensity- refers to how hard your workout must be
    Time- refers to how many minutes or repetitions of an exercise are
    required per session
    Type- refers to the kind of exercise performed
    2. Describe the FITT principle in relation to ONE of the
    following: Cardiorespiratory fitness, Muscular endurance, OR flexibility.
    Cardiorespiratory EnduranceFrequency- 3-5 days per week
    Intensity- 64%-96% of maximum heart rate
    Time- 20-60 minutes
    Type-Any rhythmic, continuous, large muscle group activity
    3. Identify and describe the basic types of fitness-related injuries. How
    are they prevented? How are they treated?
    1. Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a broad
    band of dense, inelastic tissue that runs from the heel to the toes on
    the bottom of your foot. One would prevent this type of injury by
    wearing the proper shoes when running or walking for long
    distances. You can treat these injuries by taking a few days of light
    walking.
    2. Shin splints is the term used to describe any pain at the front of the
    lower leg. One would prevent this by using proper footwear and
    protective equipment. One can treat this injury by using the term
    RICE, rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
    3. Runners knee describes a series of problems involving the muscles,
    tendons, and ligaments of the knee. One would prevent this injury
    by using proper footwear and equipment. One would treat this
    injury by using the term RICE, rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
    4.
    Pretend you are developing a fitness program for a "special population
    individual. What makes this person part of a "special population and
    what kind of precautions and training might you suggest? (Hint: choose
    one of the special population indicators mentioned in your text)
    If I was developing a fitness program for someone with asthma, I would
    begin by telling them to visit their doctor. Then I would suggest
    partaking in regular physical activity to strengthen their respiratory
    muscles. If they dont feel comfortable with working out, then they
    shouldnt. Warming up and cooling down is important for someone with
    asthma so that their breathing rate and lungs can adjust slowly. If they
    feel asthma symptoms coming on they should stop and use their

    inhaler. They should always have their inhaler nearby, especially when
    working out.
    5. Utilizing the FITT principle as a basis, develop a fitness plan for one week.
    Include ACSM recommendations for the activities you choose. Be sure to
    include strategies that might help you successfully adhere to your plan.
    Frequency- I would begin by being consistent with my work outs. It is also
    important that you increase frequency very slowly over time. Start slow,
    especially if youve been inactive for a while.
    Intensity-If youve been inactive for a while try and keep your heart rate at
    40%-50% of your maximum heart rate. This will ease you into your new
    workout plan and you wont be extremely tired or sore.
    Time- Keep your reps and weight low for the first week to get back into the
    rhythm and swing of things.
    Type- you can vary the types of your exercise within a one-week time frame.
    It is important to vary your exercises to give certain muscle groups rest and
    strengthen others. Variety will give you beer overall physical fitness.
