Methods of training

• Interval — sets of activity with rest inbetween

• Continuous — aerobic activity for an extended period of time without rest

• Fartlek — alternating intensity and terrain

• Circuit — stations with different activities at each

• Weight — lifting weights for different muscle groups according to your sport

• Cross — a combination of these training methods

Interval training

• Alternating between fixed periods of exercise and fixed periods of rest (or light exercise) for recovery

• Effective for most team sports and an appropriate method of training for running and swimming

• By keeping the duration of these efforts relatively short, runners can complete a greater volume and intensity than they could during a sustained, continuous effort

• Careful planning is needed to match the duration and intensity of exercise and recovery with the level of fitness of the individual

• Example: 5 x 800m with two minutes recovery inbetween for a 5000m or 10000m runner
