According to the principles of FITT, what is the relation between the intensity of an exercise and the time an exercise needs to be performed?
Higher-intensity exercise requires less time to achieve the same benefit, while lower-intensity exercise requires more time.
According to the principles of FITT, what is the relation between the intensity of an exercise and the time an exercise needs to be performed?
Explain the tangible physical benefits of warming up for and cooling down from a workout activity.
Warming up gradually increases body temperature, heart rate, and blood flow while loosening muscles and joints and preparing the body for exercise. Cooling down gradually lowers heart rate and breathing, keeps blood circulating, and helps prevent dizziness and blood pooling after the workout.
Why do exercise needs vary between individuals?
Individuals differ in age, current fitness level, health status, exercise goals, and genetic factors, so exercise programs must be personalized to be safe and effective.
Why should a good warm-up include stretching and activity-specific warm-up actions?
Stretching improves flexibility and range of motion; activity-specific movements activate the exact muscles and movement patterns used in the workout, enhancing performance and reducing injury risk.
