FITT is an acronym used in planning training. What do the four letters stand for?

• A. Frequency/Intensity/Time/Tempo
• B. Frequency/Intensity/Time/Type
• C. Force/Interval/Tempo/Type
• D. Fitness/Interval/Time/Type

Answer: (B)

FITT is a simple framework used to plan training by looking at four aspects: how often you train, how hard you train, how long each session lasts, and what type of activity you do. Frequency refers to the number of training sessions per week. Intensity is the effort level or workload during those sessions. Time means the duration of each session (or total session volume). Type is the kind of exercise chosen, such as aerobic, strength, or flexibility work. The correct expansion matches these four aspects exactly: Frequency/Intensity/Time/Type. The other options bring in terms that aren’t part of FITT or place them in a different context (Tempo is a pace, Force relates to resistance but isn’t a FITT category, Fitness isn’t a planning category, Interval is a training method).
