Justification (Q6)

What is covered in Q6?

In question 6 of the paper you are justifying the choices in your programme.

You need to consider your programme design, how this is personalised to your client and the principles of training that you have considered.

To work in the top mark band, you need to consider:

FITT principles
7 of the SPORRAVI principles
Considered periodisation

FITT principles

In depth explanation of the FITT principles and how to apply these to a programme.

The #FITT acronym stands for #Frequency, #Intensity, Time and Type. Frequency is about how often you plan to train. Intensity is how hard you plan to train (which can be measured subjectively through RPE or objectively through HR or BPM). Time simply means how long each session, bout or set should take. Type just means the type of exercise you are doing; whether that is aerobic, resistance training, interval training, or some other type of training.
