    • Finding, Investigate, Tracking, and Tracing

    Correct Answer
    A. Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type
    Explanation
    FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. This acronym is commonly used in the field of exercise and physical fitness to outline the key components of a well-rounded workout program. Frequency refers to how often a person exercises, intensity refers to the level of difficulty or effort exerted during the workout, time refers to the duration of the workout, and type refers to the specific activities or exercises performed. By considering these four factors, individuals can design a workout plan that is tailored to their goals and needs.

    What are the three periods of a normal daily exercise routine?

    • Warm-up

    • Conditioning

    • Cool-down

    • Muscle failure

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Warm-up
    A. Conditioning
    A. Cool-down
    Explanation
    The three periods of a normal daily exercise routine are warm-up, conditioning, and cool-down. The warm-up phase is essential to prepare the body for more intense physical activity by increasing heart rate, loosening muscles, and improving flexibility. Conditioning is the main part of the workout where the individual engages in activities that target specific muscle groups or improve cardiovascular endurance. Lastly, the cool-down phase allows the body to gradually return to its resting state by lowering heart rate, stretching, and preventing muscle soreness. Muscle failure is not a period in a daily exercise routine, as it refers to the inability of a muscle to perform a specific action due to fatigue.
