Discuss the difference between short-term and long-term fitness goals. Provide an example of
each. (Site 1) - ✔✔The difference between short-term and long-term goals is that short term
goals are things you can get done easily in a finite amount of time or by a set time in the future,
and they often lead up to long term goals. An example would be that a player aims to improve
their road running time over three kilometres by five seconds each week. A long term goal takes
effort to attain, as it is made up of many different short term goals, and it may have a more
indefinite or longer time. An example would be that a player increases the distance to ten
kilometers by the end of the season.

goals so that you can measure your progress to determine your success. If your goal is too
general to be measured, you have no way of knowing that you have reached your goal.

individual create a more efficient plan to achieve a goal, thereby increasing the likelihood that it
will be achieved.
