STRUCTURE OF A SESSION EVERY SESSION, REGARDLESS OF THE SESSION OBJECTIVES, SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING STRUCTURE: A Warm Up = approx 15% of session A Main Session = approx 70% session A cool Down = approx 10% to include feedback

REST GUIDELINES 24 HOURS rest between aerobic workouts Minimum 24 – 48 hours between strength training sessions A more intense session e.g circuit training, requires longer rest between sessions At least 2 days off each week from moderate to high intensity aerobic workouts

WHAT IS F.I.T.T.(A)? F frequency = the number of times an individual exercises in a week I intensity = how hard an individual should work in each exercise session T time = the length of each exercise T type = the specific types of activity that people should perform to maintain and promote health benefits A adherence = anyone engaging in exercise must adhere to the programme if long term benefits are to be gained

ACSM GUIDELINES 1998 The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) has suggested he following guidelines for applying the FITT principle to the components of fitness: Aerobic Exercise F = 3-5 times per week I = 55 –90% MHR T = mins. Lower intensity 30 mins + T = continuous type exercises using large muscle groups,e.g walking, hiking, running, jogging, cycling, skipping, rowing, skating, endurance games
