1 of 9
Anaerobic
exercise is performed in short, fast bursts where the heart cannot supply enough oxygen to the muscles. Anaerobic training improves the ability of the muscles to work without enough oxygen when lactic acid is produced.
2 of 9
Circuit training
Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises in a special order called a circuit. Each activity takes place at a 'station'. It can be designed to improve speed, agility, coordination, balance and muscular endurance.
3 of 9
Continuous training
Continuous training involves working for a sustained period of time without rest. It improves cardio-vascular fitness.
4 of 9
Cross training
Cross training involves using another sport or activity to improve your fitness. It happens when an athlete trains in a different environment. For example a volleyball player uses the power training for that sport to help with fitness for long jump.
5 of 9
Fartlek training
Fartlek training or 'speed play' training involves varying your speed and the type of terrain over which you run, walk, cycle or ski. It improves aerobic and anaerobic fitness.
6 of 9
Interval training
Interval training involves alternating between periods of hard exercise and rest. It improves speed and muscular endurance.
7 of 9
Weight training
Weight training uses weights to provide resistance to the muscles. It improves muscular strength (high weight, low reps), muscular endurance (low weight, high reps, many sets) and power (medium weight and reps performed quickly).
8 of 9
Altitude training
Altitude training (AQA only) is aerobic training high above sea level, where oxygen levels are lower. It is used to increase aerobic fitness quickly.
