    Study Notes

    Fartlek Training

    • Developed by Swedish coach Costa Holmer in 1937; "fartlek" means "speed play."
    • An unstructured interval training method that allows participants to vary speed and distance.
    • Training intensity fluctuates from somewhat hard to very hard, with light to moderate recovery intervals.
    • Total duration typically ranges from 20 to 60 minutes.

    Tempo Training

    • Involves continuous training without formal intervals, fitting it into HIIT categories.
    • Warm-up followed by runs at vigorous intensity (70% of max) and hard intensity (80%) for 20 to 60 minutes.

    All-Out or Supramaximal Interval Training

    • Features 10 to 20 supramaximal intervals lasting 30 to 60 seconds each.
    • Focuses on anaerobic exercise, exceeding 100% of aerobic capacity.
    • Recovery intervals range from 2 to 5 minutes at light to moderate intensity.

    10-20-30 Method

    • Developed by Dr. Thomas Gunnarsson after researching HIIT workouts.
    • Consists of 10 seconds at maximal effort (100%), 20 seconds at somewhat hard effort (60%), and 30 seconds at lighter effort (30%).
    • Each cycle is repeated continuously for 5 minutes.

    Cardio/Resistance Training Program

    • Combines aerobic work with resistance training for HIIT.
    • Begin with a warm-up; then cycle through eight resistance exercises with alternating aerobic activities like running or cycling.
    • Perform each resistance exercise for one set of 8 to 20 reps, followed by 90 seconds of aerobic work.

    High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

    • Characterized by high-to-very-high intensity exercises lasting 6 to 60 seconds, followed by lower intensity recovery.
    • Applicable to sprints, cycling, plyometrics, bodyweight exercises, and powerlifting.
    • The Tabata method exemplifies HIIT, enhancing endurance by performing maximal efforts with minimal rest.
    • HIIT incorporates four training variables: Distance, Interval (length of recovery), Repetitions, and Time, denoted as DIRT.

    Step-Wise Intensity Interval Training

    • Begins at light intensity, progressing to very hard intensity over sessions.
    • Utilizes 3 to 5-minute intervals, with improvements noted as fitness increases.

    Circuit Training

    • Combines 6 to 12 aerobic and bodyweight exercises performed in succession with minimal rest.
    • Each exercise lasts 10 to 30 seconds or 10 to 20 repetitions, with short breaks in between.
    • Intensity can be adjusted over time, with exercises alternating major muscle groups in the sequence.

    Functional Fitness

    • Focuses on weight-bearing exercises to improve balance, coordination, and functional movement.
    • Aims to enhance everyday activities while minimizing injury risk.
    • Incorporates equipment like stability balls and balance cushions for training.

    Dance Fitness

    • A trend in group classes incorporating dance for cardio workouts.
    • Zumba combines Latin and international music with fitness routines, making exercise enjoyable while improving physical fitness.
