training methods Flashcards
benefits of a warm-up
- increase muscle temperature
- increase muscle elasticity
- reduce risk of injury
benefits of a cool-down
- quicker removal of metabolic by-products
- returns the body back to pre-exercise state
- maintain elevated levels of oxygen to the muscles
long interval training
run @70% max HR
1:1
3 mins work: 3 mins rest
800m
2 sets 2 reps
3 mins rest b/t sets
long interval training benefits
- develops LIP
plyometrics training benefits
- the stretch-shortening cycle improves the muscle contraction speed
warm-up
5 min jog @60% MHR
Dynamic stretches
- open gate
- close gate
- high knees
- butt kicks
- hamstring sweeps
5 reps, 2 sets
@3/4 RPE
cool down
5 min job @60% MHR
Static stretches
- quadricep stretch
- calf stretch
- hamstring stretch
- bicep stretch
- tricep stretch
hold for 20 secs
@3/4 RPE
continuous training
run @70% max HR for 20 mins
benefits of continuous training
it is a repetitive continuous movement allowing for a continuous oxygen usage
fartlek training
run @70% max HR for 1 minute
surge @85% max HR for 30 seconds
benefits of fartlek training
- evokes a response from the anaerobic systems as well as the aerobic system
HIIT training
cycle @90% max HR for 60 secs
rest @70% max HR for 60 secs
1:1
10 reps 3 sets
3 mins rest b/t sets
HIIT training benefits
- more time efficient but can achieve similar health benefits including decreased blood pressure
- improve LIP
