Circuit trainingSeries of exercise stations
Can be adapted to focus on any area of fitness
Advantages/DisadvantagesAdvantagesFlexible – Can adapt stations to
suit training goalsCheap – Can adapt to most
environments
Disadvantages Needs thorough planning
Free weightsUsing Barbells/Dumb-
bells
To improve strength: lift heavy weights/low reps
To improve muscular endurance: high reps/ low weights
Free weightsIntensity of workout, measured
by 1 Rep Max %Strength endurance = 50/60 %
1RM, higher repsMaximum strength = 90% 1RM,
Low repsElastic strength = 75% 1RM, Low
reps
Advantages/DisadvantagesAdvantagesRelatively cheapCan select appropriate weights
relative to goals
DisadvantagesNeed equipmentSafety is really important – May
need others to supportMay be unsuitable for children
What is a rep?
What is a set?
PlyometricsImproves sport-specific explosive
power
Improves strength
Useful for : Hurdling, Basketball and Volleyball
Advantages/DisadvantagesAdvantagesRelatively cheapCan really improve power and
strengthCan be done without equipment
DisadvantagesPoor technique can result in
Injury
