Understanding FITT Principles for Health-

Related Fitness

Objective:
Students will be able to create and explain their own FITT goals based on training
principles to achieve and/or maintain health-related fitness (HRF).

Assessment:
Students will develop a personal fitness plan that includes their individual FITT
goals, explaining how each component (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) supports
their health-related fitness objectives.

Key Points:
 FITT Principles: Understanding each component—Frequency (how often),
Intensity (how hard), Time (how long), and Type (what kind)—and how
they contribute to a fitness program.
 Health-Related Fitness (HRF): Comprehending the importance of HRF
components: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
 Goal Setting: Learning how to set realistic and measurable fitness goals
using the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound)
criteria.
 Training Principles: Recognizing the principles of progression, overload,
and specificity when designing a fitness plan.

Opening:
 Begin with a brief discussion on personal fitness experiences. Ask
students: "What are your current fitness goals, and how do you plan to
achieve them?"
 Show a short video clip demonstrating different types of exercises and
their effects on health.
 Pose the question: "How do we determine what’s right for our personal
fitness journey?"

Introduction to New Material:


 Introduce the FITT principles using visual aids (charts or slides) that break
down each component.
 Discuss each FITT component with examples relevant to students'
interests (e.g., sports, hobbies).
 Encourage students to take notes and ask questions during the discussion.
 Common Misconception: Many students may believe that increasing
frequency alone will lead to better fitness, without considering intensity or
type of exercise.

Guided Practice:
 In pairs, students will analyze a provided sample fitness plan and identify
the FITT components within it.
 Encourage students to use guiding questions:
 What is the frequency of workouts in this plan?
 How intense are the workouts?
 What types of exercises are included?
 Is the time allocated for each workout sufficient for health
benefits?
 Monitor groups as they discuss and provide feedback, ensuring
understanding of each component.

Independent Practice:
 Students will complete a worksheet where they outline their personal FITT
goals for the next month.
 They must explain how each component will help them achieve their
health-related fitness objectives.
 Behavioral expectations include working quietly and respectfully while
focusing on their individual plans.

Closing:
 Have students share one aspect of their FITT goals with a partner.
 Conduct a quick class survey by asking students to raise their hands to
indicate if they feel confident in setting their own FITT goals now.

Extension Activity:
 For students who finish early, they can research and present on a fitness
trend or program that effectively uses the FITT principles and its benefits.

Homework:
 Write a reflective journal entry about what they learned regarding FITT
principles and how they plan to incorporate them into their daily lives.
Standards Addressed:
 MELCS Standard 1: Demonstrate understanding of the principles of
health-related fitness.
 MELCS Standard 3: Apply goal-setting strategies to enhance personal
fitness and health.
