HOPE 1 Subject Teacher:
Ms. Catherine G. Fernandez
Sets Frequency Intensity Time Type (FITT) goals based on training principles to achieve
and/or maintain health-related fitness (HRF) ( PEH11FH-li-j-7)
Engage in moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA’s) for at
least 60 minutes most days of the week in a variety of settings in- and
2
out- of school. (PEH11FH-Ia-t-8)
3 types of

Muscle strengthening

Bone strengthening
6
How do they work and differ?
7
Aerobic activities
• Are also called “CARDIO” exercises.
• Normally, these activities increase our heart and
breathing rate.
• It cause us to sweat profusely and breathe harder.
• Jogging, running, swimming, and dancing are
some examples.

How often should you do aerobic
exercises?
Muscle strengthening
activities
• Muscle strengthening activities are exercises in which groups
of muscles work or hold against a force or some weight.
• Muscle strengthening activities help build good muscle
strength. When muscles do more work, it becomes stronger.
This stimulation and repair
process is called
muscle hypertrophy
How often should you do muscle
strengthening activities?
Ideally, three days per week
Bone Strengthening Activities
• Many forms of physical activity like running, skipping
rope, and playing basketball help keep our bones fit.
• Bones also support groups of muscles to reduce risk of
falling.
• It is important to understand that bone-strengthening
exercises do not only focus on bone health, it also
focuses on improving muscle strength, coordination,
and balance.
How often should you do bone
strengthening activities?
Ideally, four days per week

FITT Training Principles
1. Frequency – No. of sessions per week
Start cardio exercises for at least 5 days a week for the first
few weeks
Afterwards, we can gradually increase the frequency of
exercise to 7 days a week.
FITT Training Principles
2. Intensity
To be effective, exercises should be done in moderate intensity, that is,
our heart rate should be 60 to 80% of our maximum heart rate
FITT Training Principles
3. Time
More time spent doing aerobic exercises means more
calories burned and an increase in endurance. We can at
least do 20 minutes per session at first, then gradually
increase it to 60 minutes.
FITT Training Principles
4. Type
This refers to what kind of exercise you’ll be doing.
It is also important to try different exercises and activities
to avoid boredom.
