Document Summary

Myriad of benefits associated with regular physical activity: health and/or fitness. Training guidelines and principles apply to both types of training for most apparently healthy individuals interested in total body health and fitness: Fitt: overload, warm-up, reversibility and maintenance, recovery. Characteristics trained will be the characteristics which show gains/adaptations. Aerobic training: adaptations associated w/ cv health and endurance. Resistance training: adaptations associated w/ muscular strength and power. Frequency: how often is exercise performed: number of sessions per week, aerobic training: 6-7 days/week for trained health vs. fitness goals: resistance training, number of days/week per muscle group. 2-3 days/week novice lifters (full body) (2 days/week muscle) 4-5 days/week advanced lifters (split) (3 days/week muscle: rep repetition, one complete movement from start to finish of an exercise. Set the number of times an individual completes the prescribed number of repetitions. Example: squats 3x15: 3 sets of 15 reps, you will do 15 squats, 3 times.
