Continuous
Interval
Fartlek
Circuit
Time in between each station or exercise is set
Constant-intensity
Cannot be manipulated to be made sport-specific
Performer who lives in a flat area might struggle to simulate different terrains
Performer might perform an exercise for 1 min, have 30 secs rest, then move onto the next exercise
A 1500 m runner might aim to exercise at 90% VO2max for 4 minutes and perform active recovery at 60% VO2max for 1 minute
Used in team sports to reflect the differences in intensity that occur throughout a game
Very specific to long-distance runners, swimmers or cyclists
Work-to-rest periods can be manipulated to induce progressive overload
Moderate intensity
Can work a range of muscle groups
A triathlete might aim to maintain exercise intensity at around 80% VO2max
Requires space to be performed
Use of different stations or exercises
Performer could increase the work-to-rest ratio from 1:1 in Week 1 to 6:1 in Week 6
Often requires access to gym equipment so could limit accessibility
A performer could alternate between running at an incline up a hill and running on a flat surface
Minimum of 30 mins
Performer might underestimate the work-to-rest ratio and succumb to early fatigue
Time to perform each station or exercise is set
Ratio between work and rest periods
Can be simulated in the gym by increasing the incline on treadmills or resistance on exercise bikes
Untrained performer should gradually build up distance or intensity with each session to reduce injury
Tends to be tedious
Varied training intensity by running at different speeds or over different terrains
Can be done with just a stopwatch to measure work and rest periods
Untrained performers might start off with a longer rest period than work period
