Principles of Training:
a) S_______________________________- training must be similar to the needs of the sport and the
performer.
b) P_______________________________- to improve and continue to develop, the training program must be

made progressively harder.
c) O_______________________________- to become fitter the body must work harder than normal. This can
be achieved by applying the FITT principles:
F. ______________________ is number of times you engage in physical activity
I. ______________________ is the difficulty or exertion level of your physical workout
T. ______________________ refers to the duration of a single workout
T. ______________________ refers to the kind of activity you choose to do
d) R_______________________________- Exercise improves fitness and if we stop exercising our fitness

levels will drop
e) T_______________________________- Training must be varied to ensure the athlete maintains

motivation.

2. The purpose of a warm-up is to

a) Improve cardiovascular conditioning
b) Improve strength
c) Elevate muscle temperature and increase blood flow to the muscles that will be engaged in the physical
activity
d) All of the above

4. _________ is an essential part of an exercise prescription as physiologically it allows blood to return to the heart
rather than pool in the working muscles.
a) Warmup
b) FITT principle
c) Cooldown

5. The overload principle of exercise refers to

Target Heart Rate
Your heart is the most important muscle in your body. It is the pump that delivers oxygen rich blood
throughout your body. Your heart is made up of ___________ muscle. Like all muscles it will become
stronger with use. The type of exercise that will strengthen your heart is called __________. As it
strengthens, it will become a more powerful pump that pushes more blood with each beat. What will
happen to your resting heart rate as your heart gets stronger? _____________ To improve and maintain the
strength of your heart it is important to participate in regular aerobic exercise. Before beginning any
exercise program you should consult a doctor to be sure you are in good health.
Here is how to calculate your target heart rate range…

1) First of all you need the following data:
A) Maximum Heart Rate—(220 – your age = MHR)
My MHR = _________________
B) Resting Heart Rate—(count pulse at rest for 1 minute)
My RHR = _________________
2) Enter the above data in the following two formulas and solve. The formulas
represent the lower (60%) and upper (85%) limits of your target heart rate
range.
(60%)—______ - ______ = ______ x .6 = ______ + ______ = ______

MHR RHR RHR LOWER LIMIT
(85%)—______ - ______ = ______ x .85 = ______ + ______ = ______

MHR RHR RHR UPPER LIMIT
3) Enter your target heart rate:

My target heart rate is:
___________ to ___________
lower limit upper limit
How to use your target heart rate:

After at least five minutes of continuous aerobic exercise take your pulse for six seconds. Then multiply by
10 or add a zero to the end—for example, a six second pulse of 17 would be 170. Check to see if your pulse
us in your target heart rate range. If it is higher—slow down. If it is lower—speed up. HAVE FUN!!!!
