Q

What are three things recent research has demonstrated regarding circuit training?

A

It is just as beneficial as traditional cardiorespiratory training, it produced greater levels of EPOC and strength, and it produced near identical caloric expenditure when compared with walking at a fast pace.

Q

Name three physiological considerations when training youth.

A
  1. Submaximal oxygen demand (economy of
    movement) : children are less efficient and tend to exercise at a higher percentage of their peak oxygen uptake as compared to adults. 

  2. Glycolytic enzyme production is insufficient to sustain bouts of high- intensity exercise. 

  3. Limited ability to sweat in response to hot, humid environments (decreased tolerance to temperature extremes).
