Course: Sports Medicine/Athletic Training II (Condensed) (14062-IIA) > Section: Preventing Injuries

Explanation should include

- define frequency, intensity, time, type, and enjoyment (FITTE)
- address what constitutes safety and appropriateness for each of the concepts, such as
  - frequency—allow for adequate physiological recovery time
  - intensity—ensure adequate duration to accomplish the goal without premature failure or to improve aerobic or anaerobic energy systems
  - time—perform the task to match the goal or to avoid premature failure or to see gains
  - type—ensure that exercise choice is appropriate for accomplishing the goal (mode of exercise)
  - enjoyment—attain pleasure from exercising
- explain the relationship among these five concepts.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the relationship among frequency, intensity, duration, and mode?
- What is a practical measure of each concept?
- What are examples of different levels of intensity? What goals would each level be trying to achieve?
