Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to ACE, the IFT model looks at "the interaction between flexibility, core strength, postural stability and resistance training" instead of talking about flexibility as a solitary component. In addition to flexibility, the Integrated Fitness Model provides group fitness instructors (GFIs) with a comprehensive approach to address posture, functional movement, cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular endurance and/or strength.
