Training to Improve Aerobic Power (continued)
Interval Training Interval Training Involves the performance repeated exercise bouts, with brief recovery periods in between. The length and intensity of the work interval depends on what the athlete is trying to accomplish. For instance, a longer work interval requires a greater involvement of aerobic energy production, while a shorter, more intense interval provides greater [...]
Training to Improve Aerobic Power
Endurance training improves VO2 max by increasing both maximal cardiac output and increasing the a-v O2 difference (increase the muscle’s ability to extract O2). Therefore, a training program designed to improve maximal aerobic power must overload the circulatory system and stress the oxidative capacities of skeletal muscles as well. As in all training regimens, specificity [...]
