COMPARING TWO TYPES COMPARING TWO TYPES OF TRAINING SESSIONOF TRAINING SESSION

Both of these sessions would improve cardiovascular fitness, but in different ways.

Which of the sessions was ANAEROBIC and which one was AEROBIC.

POINTS TO LEARN FROM THIS EXERCISE:

1.Session A is very short distance work and the athletes will run at a very fast pace, thereby improving their speed and fitness.

2.Each of these sessions uses the principle of SPECIFICITY.

3.The pulse rate taken at the end of each run is called the working pulse.

4.This type of training has periods of work followed by periods of rest and is called INTERVAL TRAINING.

5. The rest allows the athlete to recover, to pay back the OXYGEN DEBT and deal with the build up of LACTIC ACID in the muscle.
