types of training Flashcards
circuit training
involves series of exercises, or stations completed one after another with a brief period of rest between
continuous training
working at a sustained period of time without rest, in aerobic zone
interval training
alternating periods of work and rest
HIIT
alternating short periods of intense work in anaerobic with periods of active recovery in aerobic
fartlek
periods of fast work with intermittent periods of slower work
static stretching
holding a stretch for up to 30 seconds, muscles contract isometrically
weight training
use of weights or resistance to cause adaptations to muscles
free weights
needs a spotter, barbells, dumbbells, core muscles have to work hard
resistance machines
promote good technique by providing stability and control
plyometric training
high-impact exercises that can teach muscles to perform maximum contractions faster, eccentric contraction is followed by a concentric
high altitude
aerobic carried out 2000m above sea level where less oxygen so oxygen carrying capacity of blood is reduced and body makes more red blood cells
