1. Frequency (F):

Recommend three non-consecutive days a week. Due

to the intensity of the active recovery stations, a fourth

day a week might not allow adequate recovery between

workout sessions

2. Intensity (I):

As conditioning levels improve, exercise intensities will

gradually increase by adding greater resistance, but

never compromise exercise technique
As this program involves active recoveries and a

with lower-intensities that are attainable, yet challenging.

This is achieved by implementing shorter bouts of

work, slower movement speeds and lower intensities of

resistance
The intensities however need to be consistent with

exercise goals. Individuals seeking to improve overall

functional ability should select moderate intensities

(low-to-moderate resistance, movement speeds and

bout durations) while those seeking more explosive
`Zbglk^Ü^\mbg`lihkmli^k_hkfZg\^lahne]l^e^\mab`a^k

intensities (higher resistances, faster movement speeds,

longer bout durations)

3. Repetitions (R):

The repetition range using the ROC-IT™ line should be

consistent with goals, but a range of 6 – 12 for muscular

strength and a range of 12 – 15 for muscular endurance

are suggested
The number of repetitions indicated for the exercises

or movements in the active recovery stations is not

Emphasize quality of movement (technique) over quantity

of movement (repetitions) until mastery of the skills is

achieved

4. Sets (S):

conditioning and exercise tolerance improve

5. Time (T):

Recommend a tempo of one second to complete the

pushing or pulling phase followed by a slow, controlled

two second return during the resistance training on the

machines
Initially follow a work to rest ratio of 1 part work (30

– 45 seconds) and 1 part rest (30 – 45 active recovery).

fatigue in completing all exercises and cardiovascular

stations, increase the duration of the passive rest interval

to two parts rest
As conditioning levels improve, increase the duration of

the active recovery stations towards 60 – 90 seconds

CIRCUIT TRAINING
(20 MINUTES)

1. 1 – 3 non-consecutive days per week
2. Generally 50 – 70 % 1 RM or to a point of fatigue without

compromise to technique, consistent with exercise goals

Intensities can be increased to greater than 70 % of maximal
3. 6 – 15 repetitions, 1 – 3 circuits. Be mindful of total time of

the circuit program by carefully structuring the number of circuits

with the extended cardiovascular stations
4. 1: 1 exercise to active recoveries ratio with a one second

pull/push phase and two second slow, controlled return.

Progress to increasing the duration of the active recoveries
