Question

How many types of interval training in sports?

Answer 1

Answer:

Interval training is a type of training that involves a series of high intensity workouts interspersed with rest or relief periods. The high-intensity periods are typically at or close to anaerobic exercise, while the recovery periods involve activity of lower intensity.[1] Varying the intensity of effort exercises the heart muscle, providing a cardiovascular workout, improving aerobic capacity and permitting the person to exercise for longer and/or at more intense levels.[2]

Interval training can refer to the organization of any cardiovascular workout (e.g., cycling, running, rowing). It is prominent in training routines for many sports, but is particularly employed by runners

Answer 2

There are two types of interval training in sports namely fitness and performance interval training.

• Interval training represents a form of training involving a series of workouts with periods of rest or relaxation.  
• Usually, the high-intensity phases are at or similar to anaerobic exercise, while the recovery cycles require lower intensity activity.
• For beginners and advanced exercisers, a fitness approach is recommended. This training method employs intervals of elevated intensity that normally last from to five minutes, followed by periods of moderate-intensity of the same duration.
• This performance form is more advanced and is suggested for well-conditioned athletes. This training method uses high-intensity intervals that typically last from 2-15 minutes, followed by a similar or shorter length of lower intensity intervals.
