NUTR1023 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Macrocycle, Myofibril, Microtrauma
NUTR1023 Health and Fitness Through Diet and Exercise
Summer Semester 2017
Module 6 – Exercise Prescription (PART 1)
Objectives
At the end of this module students will be able to do the following:
• Briefly describe how the cardiorespiratory and muscular systems adapt to different
types of exercise training.
• Briefly explain the pre-exercise screening process for identifying people at risk of
adverse events during exercise/physical activity.
• Describe the principles of training.
• Explain how the FITT system can be used to develop an exercise training program to
produce sufficient overload for optimal training adaptation.
• Be familiar with guidelines for appropriate frequency, intensity, duration and type of
exercise recommended to develop cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength,
muscular endurance and flexibility.
Study Tasks
1. Watch the ideo Principles of Training, reie the ESSA Adult Pre-Exercise
Screening System and read chapter 13 Principles of Exercise Training of the Porcari
textbook before completing the following activities:
• Which organisations were involved in the Adult Pre-Exercise Screening
System developed in Australia in 2012?
ESSA, Fitness Australia and Sports Medicine Australia (SMA).
• Define the following Principles of Training
o Overload
Enhancement of physiological improvements and stimulation of adaptions
to training by continual physical overload on the system or systems being
trained. Overload can be applied with volume (increase time or number of
reps) and intensity (training harder with more resistance or faster).
o Specificity
Determines the outcome of a specific program due to the method of
training. Acronym: SAID (specific adaptions to improve demands),
suggests that the body will undergo physiological adaptions specific to
stresses applied through program design. Volume and intensity can be

Overload can be applied with volume (increase time or number of reps) and intensity (training harder with more resistance or faster): specificity. Determines the outcome of a specific program due to the method of training. Acronym: said (specific adaptions to improve demands), suggests that the body will undergo physiological adaptions specific to stresses applied through program design. Volume and intensity can be manipulated and guided by desired training outcomes: progression.
