Type
frequency (fitt)
changing the number of times per week that exercise is performed
intensity (fitt)
how hard or diffcult an exercise is for you
time (fitt)
increasing the amount of time spent exercising
type (fitt)
increasing difficulty by switching types of exercise
principle of progression
The body adapts to consistent training, so increasing intensity, volume, or variation over time is essential for continued improvement.
Specificity principle state
Training should be specific to the individual and their goals
Overload principle utilizes the __

physical literacy
ability to move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person.
primary roles of the cerebellum
motor control, coordination, and timing
primary motor cortex
controlling voluntary movements and is responsible for the planning, initiation, and execution of motor activities
executive function
