A sports scientist is designing an anaerobic training program for an Olympic weightlifter based on the FITT principle. Which of the following combinations would be most appropriate?

Frequency: daily training; Intensity: RPE 5-6; Time: 45-minute continuous sessions; Type: high-repetition Olympic lifts
Frequency: 4-5 sessions per week; Intensity: RPE 8-9; Time: sets of 1-5 repetitions with 3-5 minute rest periods; Type: Olympic lifts and strength exercises
Frequency: 2 sessions per week; Intensity: RPE 7; Time: 30-second maximum effort circuits; Type: machine-based resistance training
Frequency: 6 sessions per week; Intensity: RPE 6-7; Time: 20-repetition sets with 1-minute rest periods; Type: bodyweight exercises

B is correct: Optimal frequency, high intensity, low reps with long rest for power development.

Other Options:

A is incorrect: Daily training excessive; low intensity/high reps for endurance not power.
C is incorrect: Insufficient frequency; machines lack Olympic lift technique requirements.
D is incorrect: Low intensity/high reps develop endurance not explosive power.
