What is continuous training?
Working continuously for 20mins+ between 65-85% HRM
Trains aerobic power and muscular endurance
What is interval training?
Making changes to the intensity, time and recovery method to alter energy systems, fitness components and physiological benefits
Periods of work followed by periods of rest
Short Interval training
Intermediate Interval training
Long interval training method
What is HIIT Training?
Involves repeated work intervals that are relatively brief in duration and performed close to VO2 max (90+% HRM) followed by a lower intensity recovery
Why use HITT workouts?
Training principles of HITT
1 - 2 times per week due to higher intensities and need to recover from microtrauma
What are the benefits of HIIT training?
What are the risks associated with HITT?
Individuals with health issues may not be conditioned enough to complete HITT and may benefit from lower intensity.
Chronic adaptations to HIIT
Fartlek training
Type of continuous training with bursts of high intensity
- anaerobic glycolysis will increase intensity above 85% HRM
Fartlek training principles
What is circuit training?
-performing a no. of exercises at a sequence of stations
- manipulated by changing reps/time/recovery period
- replicate activity analysis
What are things to consider about Circuit training
Resistance training
Manipulation of repetitions and resistance
Resistance
the load to be moved
Muscular strength
85 - 100% 1RM
3 - 5 exercises
2 - 8 repetitions
3 - 5 sets
Passive rest
Slow contraction
2 - 3 frequency
Muscular power
30% 1RM
2 - 4 exercises
4 - 6 repetitions
3 - 4 sets
Passive rest
Explosive speed
1 - 2 frequency
Muscular Endurance
30 - 50% 1RM
4 - 8 exercises
15+ repetitions
2 sets
Active rest
Rhythmical speed
2 - 3 frequency
Guidelines for resistance training
What is the aim of plyometric training?
Increase muscle power and develop the ability of the muscle to contract rapidly/explosively
4 - 6 repetitions
How does Plyometric training work?
A muscle is loaded with an eccentric lengthening action followed by a concentric (shortening action), contracting more forcefully more rapidly
AKA stretch/reflex cycle
Shorter period = more forceful
Plyometric training considerations
