Table 3.

Exercise training characteristics (FITT; Frequency, Intensity, Type, Time).

Training characteristics Explanation
Frequency Amount of training sessions per day or week
Intensity Absolute (velocity, weight, and power output) and relative (percentage of VO2max, HRmax, 1RM) load
Type Movement execution and position as well as functional domains (e.g., cardio-circulatory or/and neuromuscular)
Time Duration and repetitions of one or multiple training stimuli and exercises (Volume = Frequency × Time)

VO2max, maximal oxygen uptake; HRmax, maximal heart rate; 1RM, one repetition maximum.
