SSEH3301 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Fartlek
Document Summary
Aerobic lists: running (best return of cost!) Gives the highest energy cost , as individual is carrying his/her own bw! Energy cost is largely independent of speed if it is below at o eg: 10km run. Energy cost will increase in relation to increase in intensity. Different mode of running: o low intensity aerobics. Usually start off over 4 12 weeks for adaptation before increasing intensity or changing mode of aerobic runs o fartlek training & interval training. Remember to measure target heart rate immediately pre and post fast effort runs (this is to know the level of hr as well as to target the adequate recovery period) Active recovery is better, and intensity should be about 75 . 80% max pace when performed. (w:r = 1:2 / 1:3) o pros. Best energy cost return for energy expenditure. Easy to use, anywhere, anytime! o cons: walking. Increase risk of injury, if performed incorrectly.
