In FITT, what does T (fitT) stand for?

• A. Tempo
• B. Training load
• C. Type of workout
• D. Torque

Answer: (C)

The T in FITT here refers to Type—the kind of workout you choose. FITT breaks down into Frequency (how often you train), Intensity (how hard you work), Time (how long each session lasts), and Type (the modality of the exercise, like running, cycling, weight training, or yoga). So selecting the Type tells you what category of activity you’ll perform, which shapes the adaptations you’ll get and helps balance a program. The other T in FITT is Time, which is simply the duration of each session, not the kind of exercise. Tempo, training load, and torque aren’t part of this acronym, so they aren’t what the T stands for.
