FITT
The FITT acronym highlights the key things to consider when tailoring programmes for individual sporting goals.
In planning a programme, use the FITT principles to add the detail:
- F - Frequency - how often to train
- I - Intensity - how hard to train
- T - Time - how long to train
- T - Type - which approaches to training to use
Also consider the principle of moderation. It is important to have rest periods that allow the body to adapt. Too much training (overtraining) can lead to injury.
