Which of the following components is NOT part of the FITT-VP principle?

Type
Volume
Speed
Progression

The correct answer is: Speed

The FITT-VP principle is a widely used framework for designing exercise programs, focusing on Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type, Volume, and Progression. Each component serves a specific purpose in tailoring exercise regimens to meet individual needs and goals. The 'Type' component refers to the kind of exercise being performed, such as aerobic, strength training, or flexibility activities. 'Volume' pertains to the amount of exercise, typically measured in terms of duration, sets, or repetitions. 'Progression' involves gradually increasing the demands on the body to enhance fitness levels over time. In contrast, 'Speed' is not a defined component of the FITT-VP principle. While it might influence the intensity of a workout, it does not constitute a primary category within the FITT-VP framework. Therefore, recognizing that 'Speed' is not part of the principle is crucial for understanding how to effectively structure and adjust exercise programs based on the other established components. This clarity aids fitness professionals in delivering well-rounded training plans that adhere to recognized guidelines.
