Which application of FITT targets increasing lean muscle mass and strength?

• A. Applying FITT to Cardiovascular Training
• B. Applying FITT to Strength Training
• C. Applying FITT to Flexibility Training
• D. Applying FITT to Anaerobic Training

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is using the FITT framework to drive gains in lean muscle mass and strength through resistance training. The Type portion of FITT should be resistance-based movements—think free weights, machines, or bodyweight—that apply mechanical tension to muscles. That tension prompts muscle fibers to recruit more force and, over time, grow larger and stronger. The Intensity is typically set with heavier loads relative to your max, often in the hypertrophy range (roughly 6–12 reps per set) or even higher loads for pure strength, with total work built up through sets and reps. Frequency ensures you train each muscle group often enough to respond, while Time reflects the total workload and the rest you give between sets to recover. In short, when you apply FITT to strength training, you’re systematically designing workouts that reliably provoke the adaptations behind lean mass and strength gains. Cardsio-only or flexibility-focused regimes don’t produce those same muscular adaptations.
