Like interval training it includes periods of work followed by periods of rest or light work. However, sessions include sprints of varying distances not necessarily measured distances as in interval training.
Circuit
Circuit training involves a number of exercises arranged so as to avoid exercising the same muscle groups consecutively. For example, a press-up station could be followed by a step-up station.
Interval
The ’work’ period, or interval, may be a distance to run, such as 60m or a timed run such as 20secs. This will be linked to a particular activity using the principle of specificity
Plyometrics
Plyometrics are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time
Weight
Weight training uses progressive resistance either in the form of actual weight lifted or in terms of the number of times the weight is lifted
Aerobics
Mainly aerobic exercise to music, covering a variety of exercises
Body pump
