Which component of FITT refers to the duration of each training session?

• A. Time
• B. Frequency
• C. Type
• D. Intensity

Answer: (A)

In FITT, Time refers to how long each training session lasts—the duration of the workout. This is the per-session length, not how often you train, how hard you push, or what type of activity you choose. For example, a 30-minute run or a 60-minute weight-room session shows the Time as the amount of time spent exercising in that session. This differs from Frequency, which is how many sessions you do per week; Type, which is the kind of activity (running, cycling, lifting, etc.); and Intensity, which is how hard you work during the activity (pace, effort, or %1RM).

Understanding Time helps with progression: you can lengthen a workout to improve endurance, keep Frequency the same while adjusting Time, or mix in higher Intensity for other adaptations. Remember that total weekly volume combines Time per session with Frequency.
