Which component of the FITT addresses how often you train per week?

• A. Frequency
• B. Intensity
• C. Time
• D. Type

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how often you exercise within a program. The component that addresses how often you train per week is Frequency, which is the number of training sessions you perform in a given time frame, typically each week. This is about scheduling: for example, deciding to work out three days, four days, or five days per week. Frequency dictates how often your body gets stimulus and how recovery fits in, and it’s often adjusted as fitness improves or goals change.

Intensiy is about how hard you work during each session, such as effort level or heart rate; Time refers to how long each session lasts; Type is the kind of activity you perform (aerobic, strength, flexibility).
