is any training that causes the muscles to contract against an external resistance with the expectation of increase in sttrength, tone, mass, and/or endurance
regression

frequency
number of workouts/ training sessions per week
duration
refers to the length of the workout
load
describes the amount of weight lifted and associated to the level of fatigue
volume sets
can include a single set of 8-10 dif exercise that employ movement patterns and target major muscles

rest periods are shorter
muscle endurance
rest periods are longer 2-3 minutes
muscle strength
exercise selection

functional exercises
are separated into lower body, upper body, and the trunk(core)
-overload principle
-progressive principle
-recovery principle
-reversibility principle
-specificity principle
principles of exercise
overload principle
relies on the premise that to improve, the muscle produce work at a level higher tha its regular workload
progressive principle
means that the body adapts to the initial overload, the overload must be adjusted and increased gradually
recovery principle
adaptation to physical activity occurs gradually and naturally but time must be allowed for the regenerate and build
reversibility principle
All gains due to exercise will be lost if one does not continue the exercise.
specificity rpinnciple
state that each form of the activity would produce different results
frequency intensity time type
FITT goals
frequency
refers to how often the exercise is done
intensity
refers to how hard the activity or exercise is
time
refers to duration or how long the exercise will take
type
refers to a kind of activity or exercise
