What is VT1?
The point where it becomes tough to talk during cardio
VT1 signifies a transition in exercise intensity where conversation becomes difficult.
What is VT2?
Lactate build-up causing a tired acidic feeling that accelerates faster than the body can remove it
VT2 marks a higher intensity threshold where performance is significantly affected by lactate accumulation.
What is the challenge point in cardio training?
The point where lactate accumulates faster than it can be removed
This is synonymous with VT2 and indicates a critical performance threshold.
What is the fitness phase in interval training?
Moderate difficulty interval work, EPR of 5-6 on a 1-10 scale
This phase serves as the starting point for interval training, focusing on developing fitness.
What intensity level does interval training focus on?
Between VT1 to just below VT2
This range is crucial for effective interval training, balancing effort and recovery.
Who are typical clients in the performance phase?
Clients with endurance or performance objectives, such as marathoners and cross-country skiers
This phase targets athletes training for specific events, focusing on enhancing performance.
