FITT stands for which four exercise prescription variables?

• A. Frequency, Intensity, Tempo, Type
• B. Frequency, Intensity, Time, Temperature
• C. Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
• D. Frequency, Incline, Time, Type

Answer: (C)

FITT is a framework used to design and prescribe exercise by adjusting four variables: how often you train (frequency), how hard you train (intensity), how long each session lasts (time), and what kind of activity you choose (type). The set that lists Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type matches these four standard variables, making it the best choice. Tempo, Temperature, and Incline are not part of the FITT acronym: tempo relates to pace during work, temperature is an environmental or safety factor, and incline is a specific setting that can affect effort within a given type but isn’t one of the four FITT elements.
