Components of Exercise Training Session
- Warm-Up
- Conditioning
- Cool Down & Stretching
Warm-Up
- minimum of 5-10 minutes
- low to moderate intensity
- cardiovascular and muscular endurance activities
Warm-Up
Transitional phase that allows the body to adjust to the changing physiological, biomechanical and bioenergetic demands during the conditioning phase of the exercise session.
Warm-Up
Decreases the potential for post-exercise muscle soreness
Conditioning
- minimum of 20-60 minutes
- aerobic, resistance, neuromuscular, and/or sports activities
Conditioning
- 10 minutes are acceptable
- accumulates at least 20-60 minutes each day of daily exercise
Cool Down
- minimum of 5-10 minutes
- low to moderate intensity
- cardiovascular and muscular endurance activities
Cool Down
Allows gradual recovery of heart rate and blood pressure, and removal of metabolic end-products from the muscles used during the more intense conditioning phase
Stretching
Minimum of 10 minutes of stretching performed after the warm up or cool down phases
FITT Principle
Frequency
Itensity
Time
Type
Frequency
refers to the number of times the activity is performed each week. There is a positive dose response relationship between the amounts of exercise performed as the amount (frequency and time or duration) of exercise performed increases, so do the benefits received.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Frequency
For most individual it is suitable to perform a weekly combination of 3-5 days per week of moderate and vigorous intensity aerobic exercise
Musculoskeletal Fitness
Frequency
An individual should resistance train each major muscle group** 2-3 days** per week with at least 48 hours separating the exercise training sessions for the same muscle group
Stretching
Frequency
2-3 days per week of flexibility training however, a daily stretching would be most effective.
Intensity
is the level of vigor at which the activity is performed
Intensity
There are a number of ways in which intensity can be measured. Some methods are easier to use but are generally less objective, while others are more objective but may require additional equipment or simple calculations
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Intensity
A combination of moderate- (40%-59% VO2R) and/or vigorous-intensity (60%-84% VO2R) exercise is recommended for most healthy individuals
Musculoskeletal Fitness
Intensity
40-50% of a person 1RM for sedentary individuals
looking to improve strength.
60-70% of 1RM moderate to vigorous to improve
novice to intermediate exercises to improve strength
