Lesson details
Key learning points
- Fartlek training is beneficial for sports like football, where players frequently change pace and intensity.
- Continuous training requires aerobic effort for a minimum of 20 minutes, such as running, swimming, rowing or cycling.
- Interval training works in the anaerobic training zone and involes work followed by rest periods.
Keywords
Continuous training - involves working for a sustained period of time without rest
Interval training - periods of training/work that are followed by periods of rest e.g. work, rest, work, rest
Fartlek training - training using different intensities or over different terrains e.g. sprint, jog, walk, jog, sprint etc
Cardiovascular endurance - the ability to continue exertion while getting energy from the aerobic system used to supply the body with energy (stamina)
Common misconception
Running is the only type of interval training.
Interval training can be done with any activity as long as it involves high intesity work followed by a rest period.
Equipment
Different terrains, cones.
