WHAT IS CONTINOUS TRAINNING
COUNTINOUS TRAINNING INVOLVES EXERCISING AT A CONSTANT RATE, DOING ACTIVITIES LIKE RUNNING OR CYCLING FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES WITH NO BREAKES.
WHAT DOES CONTINOUS TRAINNING IMPROVE
IT IMPROVES CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS AND MUSCULAR ENDURANCE AND IT IS GREAT FOR BODY COMPOSITION. IT IS GOOD TRAINNING FOR AEROBIC ACTIVITIES LIKE LONG-DISTANCES RUNNING.
HOW IS OVERLOAD ACHIEVED IN CONTINOUS TRAINNING
BY INCREASING THE DURATION, DISTANCE, SPEED OR FREQUENCY
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CONTINOUS TRAINNING
IT IS EASY TO DO- GOING FOR A RUN DOESNT REQUIRE SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT
NOT RESTING HELPS PREPARE FOR SPORTS WHERE YOU HAVE TO PLAY LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT A BREAK
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF CONTINOUS TRAINNING
IT ONLY INVOLVES AEROBIC ACTIVITY SO DOESNT IMPROVE ANAEROBIC FITNESS
IT CAN BECOME BORING DOING ONE EXERCISE AT A CONSTANT RATE
WHAT IS FARTLEK TRAINNING
IT IS A TYPE OF CONTINOUS TRAINING, BUT IT INVOLVES CHANGES IN THE INTENSITY OF THE EXERCISE OVER DIFFERENT INTERVALS
EXAMPLE OF FARTLEK TRAINNING
SPRINT FOR 10 SEC THAN JOG FOR 20 SEC (REPEATED FOR 4 MIN) FOLLOWED BY RUNNING UPHILL FOR 2MIN
WHAT DOES FARTLEK TRAINING IMPROVE
CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS AND MUSCULAR ENDURANCE AND ALSO HELPS TO IMPROVE SPEED.
IT IS GOOD FOR SPORTS THAT REQUIRE DIFFERENT PACES LIKE HOCKEY
HOW IS OVERLOAD ACHIEVED IN FARTLEK TRAINNING
BY INCREASING THE TIMES OR SPEEDS OF EACH BIT, OR THE TERRAIN DIFFICULTY
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF FARTLEK TRAINNING
ITS VERT ADAPTABLE SO YOU CAN EASILY TAILOR TRAINNING TO SUIT DIFFERENT SPORTS AND DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FITNESS
WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF FARTLEK TRAINNING
FREQUENT CHANGES TO INTESITIY CAN MEAN THAT TRAINING LACKS STRUCTURE- THIS CAN MAKE IT EASY TO SKIP THE HARD BITS AND ITS MORE DIFFICULT TO MONITOR PROGRESS
WHAT IS INTERVAL TRAINNING
INTERVAL TRAINNING USES FIXED PATTERNS OF PERIODS OF HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE AND EITHER LOW INTENSITY EXERCISE OR REST- IT HAS A STRICT STRUCTURE.
WHAT DOES INTERVAL TRAINNING IMPROVE
BY COMBINING HIGH/LOW INTENSIITY WORK, IT IMPROVE BOTH CARDIOVASCULAR FITNESS AND ANAEROBIC FITNESS.
HIGH INTENSITY PERIODS CAN ALSO IMPROVE SPEED
IT IS GREAT FOR SPORTS IN WHICH YOU HAVE TO MOVE AEROBICALLY AND THAN HAVE TO MOVE FAST SUCH AS IN RUGBY.
HOW IS THE OVERLOAD IN INTERVAL TRAINNING
YOU HAVE TO INCREASE THE PROPORTION OF TIME SPENT ON THE HIGH INTENSITY EXERCISE, OR THE INTENSIITY- RUN FASTER
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF INTERVAL TRAINNING
EASILY ADAPTED TO IMPROVE AEROBIC OR ANAEROBIC FITNESS BY CHANGING THE INTENSITIY AND LENGTH OF WORK AND RECOVERY PERIODS
