Why each option
FITTE is an acronym standing for Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type, and Enjoyment - the five variables used to design and adjust an exercise prescription.
Injury is not a programming variable in the FITTE model; it replaces Intensity incorrectly.
'Total' is not a recognized FITTE component; Intensity is the correct second factor and Enjoyment is the fifth.
'Total' and 'Equipment' are not part of the FITTE acronym; they replace the correct terms Intensity and Enjoyment.
The accepted FITTE framework uses Frequency (how often), Intensity (how hard), Time (how long), Type (modality of exercise), and Enjoyment (adherence factor). Enjoyment is included because long-term adherence depends on the client finding the activity rewarding, making it a practical programming variable.
