Cardio vascular circuit training.

Cardio Vascular Circuit Training.

The circuit training we did, was a cardio vascular circuit training - that means it was continuous. we worked for 20minutes straight. we were in partners, one of us was doing the circuit while our partner was running 2 laps of the sports hall.. once they had run the 2 laps we swapped over which meant i would run the 2laps while my partner was doing the circuit.

the 10 stations were :

1. V.sits
2. overhead squats
3. press ups
4. skip/double under
5. kettle bell swings
6. burpee
7. triceps dip
8. back extension
9. bench run
10. static press up hold

Advantages.

The advantages of doing this circuit training were that we weren't repeating the same things, we changed our workout every time our partner done 2 laps. which meant we didn't get bored of doing it - Tedium.

Disadvantages.

The disadvantages of doing this circuit training meant we had a lot of equipment which we had to get out and put away.. which wasted time a bit.


The equipment we used were :

• kettle bells
• benches
• mats
• skipping ropes

speed training - interval training

There are many different ways of training that can help improve your speed. Plyometrics and PNF training are ways of helping you become faster. Speed interval training can also help improve your speed.

We practised this method of training to get an idea of how you can do a training session to help you become faster. During this session we did 8x10m, 6x20m, 4x40m and 2x60m after doing a full warm up, drills and practising technique. The main part of this session was done at maximal effort and so that we could work to our maximal potential we had a recovery of approximately 30-45 seconds.

This type of training targets the fast twitch fibres in your muscles which contract quickly but rapidly get tired.
This type of training session can be changed to work the components of fitness that you need to work on but it is best for improving speed.
