Assess the ability to apply FITT‑VP principles to design a periodized resistance‑training program for novice adult clients. Candidates should interpret assessment data, choose a periodization model (e.g., linear or undulating), define macro/meso/microcycle lengths and phase objectives (foundational, hypertrophy/strength, deload), and specify FITT‑VP variables (frequency, intensity/load, time/sets‑reps, type/exercise selection, volume, progression) across phases. Include safety and screening considerations, progression criteria and monitoring metrics, and provide a rationale plus a sample 8–12 week plan with common adaptations for limited time, equipment, or minor injuries.
