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
