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.
