training principles. The factors that need to be considered for improving and maintaining fitness. A handy mnemonic is the FITT principle: frequency (how often different body parts are exercised); intensity (the level of physical exertion); time (duration of the activity); and type of exercise.
The concepts in the FITT principle are tied to the principles of progression (gradually increasing the amount or intensity of activity), overload, and specificity. See overload and specificity.
transgender. A transgender person is a person whose gender identity, outward appearance, gender expression, and/or anatomy are not consistent with the conventional definitions or expectations of male and female; often used to represent a wide range of gender identities and behaviours.
transsexual. A person who experiences intense personal and emotional discomfort with his or her assigned birth gender and may undergo treatment to transition gender. (Adapted from Public Health Agency of Canada, Canadian Guidelines for Sexual Health Education, [rev. ed.], 2008, 52.)
travelling skills. See locomotion, locomotor movement.
two-spirited. A term used by First Nations people to refer to a person having both the feminine and masculine spirits. It includes sexual or gender identity, sexual orientation, social roles, and a broad range of identities, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender.
