Types of training: can you complete a continuous training session?
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can complete a sustained, continuous training session at a steady-state, sub-maximal level to develop cardiovascular endurance.
Key learning points
- Move: aerobic exercise requires low intensity movement for a sustained amount of time.
- Think: regular aerobic exercise is often used to improve cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
- Feel: a steady pace is best when doing aerobic exercise to avoid fatigue too early in the session.
- Connect: using others for encouragement can help maintain motivation.
Keywords
Aerobic - exercise that uses oxygen to produce energy, done at a steady pace over time
Sub-maximal - working below your highest effort, at a steady and manageable level
Motivation - the encouragement or support from others that helps you stay focused and complete a task
Common misconception
A racing heart and feeling of breathlessness means you need to slow down.
You need to build up gradually and pace yourself at the start of a run, but feeling out of breath and a racing heart rate is normal during sub-maximal exercise.
Equipment
A safe (supervised) space to run and a timer or stopwatch
