A
- involves repeated bouts of high intensity work followed by varied recovery times.
Variables which we can manipulate: - Duration of the work
- Intensity of the work
- Number or reps
- Number of sets
- Duration of recovery
- Activity during the recovery interval
3
Q
Continuous training
A
- steady-state, low-moderate intensity work for prolonged period of time.
4
Q
fartlek training
A
- continuous steady-state aerobic training interspersed with varied higher intensity bouts and lower recovery periods.
- Sprints + Terrains
- Low intensity recovery periods
- Looks to stress both aerobic and anaerobic system.
