FITT for Aerobic Fitness
Frequency = 3-5 days/week Intensity = moderate intensity (40-59% HRR, RPE of 14-17/20) Time = 20-60 minutes Type = large rhythmical movement
FITT for resistance training for hypertrophy
Frequency = 2-3 days/week Intensity = 70-85% 1-RM Time = 6-12 reps, 2-5 sets, 1-2 minutes rest between sets Type = selection of resistance training exercises targeting major movement patterns (e.g., push, pull, etc). using appropriate equipment (body weight, dumbbells, machines, etc.)
FITT for resistance training for endurance
Frequency = 2-3 days/week Intensity = 50-75% 1-RM Time = >12-15 reps, 2-3 sets, 0-1 minute rest between sets Type = selection of resistance training exercises targeting major movement patterns (e.g., push, pull, etc). using appropriate equipment (body weight, dumbbells, machines, etc.)
Flexibility
Frequency = 2-3 days/week Intensity = mild discomfort or tension Time = static: 30-60s, 2-4 sets Type = static, dynamic, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)

Active for Life
Characteristics
Competitive for Life
= minimum of 60 minutes moderate daily activity or 30 minutes of intense activity for adults. E.g., compete at a high level in age-group competitions such as Masters Games
Fit for life
= minimum of 60 minutes moderate daily activity or 30 minutes of intense activity for adults. E.g., become active by participating in non-organized sport or physical activity that may be unfamiliar.
Sport and physical activity leaders
= move from competitive sport to volunteering as coaches, officials or administrators.
E.g., use experience, whether from previous involvement or education, to help ensure a positive environment for participants.
Training variables for novice/intermediate experience STRENGTH
Frequency (typical sessions per week/type of split) = 2-3x/full or half body split
Intensity (% of predicted 1-RM) = 80-100%
Repetitions = 1-8
Rest (between sets) = 2-3 minutes
Sets = 3-6
Temp (speed) = slow, controlled
Time (duration of one set) = <10 seconds
Method of progression = load
