Methods of training Flashcards
State the different methods of training
Continuous training , weight training , circuit training , interval training , fartlek training , plyometric training , cross training and altitude training
What is continuous training ?
It focuses on enhancing an individual’s cardiovascular endurance
What is weight training ?
It focuses on enhancing an individual’s muscular strength , endurance and power .
What is circuit training ?
help to improve sport skills or skill related fitness . It involves setting up different exercises in a circular fashion and moving from one station to the next .
What is interval training ?
It focuses on enhancing the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems , therefore , enhancing an individual’s speed , cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance .Has several short periods of high - intensity work as overload , with in between periods of recovery
as rest or low intensity work
What is fartlek training ?
It focuses on enhancing an individual’s speed , cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance A form of continuous training that involves varying levels of intensity , with alternating periods of high -and low intensity work
What is plyometric training ?
it focuses on enhancing an individual’s muscular power . It involves repeated rapid stretching and contracting of the muscles to reach the maximum force in the shortest amount of time so as to increase muscle power .
What is cross training ?
It involves using different sports or activities to improve fitness . It is effective because it is useful for attaining aerobic adaptations in the long term while lowering the risk of overuse injury from using the same mode of exercise
What is altitude training ?
Altitude training is aerobic training high above sea level , where the oxygen level is lower . It encourages the development of extra - oxygen capacity in the blood , which improves physical performance when athletes participate in competitions at or near sea level .
What is the difference between creatine - phosphate system and the lactic acid system using interval training ?
To target the creatine phosphate system , each rest duration is six to 10 times of work duration while the lactic acid system each rest duration is two to three times more of the work duration
