Interval training is based on how much effort and athlete can sustain over a distance or set time, an example of this is the 100m sprint as the athlete gives as much effort as possible to achieve a good time.
Interval training have lots of benefits consisting of;
Increased metabolism, If you up the intensity of the workout through alternating cardio and muscle moves, and you increase excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This is what i call “after burn.” Resistance training builds metabolism-boosting muscle while cardio makes the fat over the muscle disappear. After your workout you will continue to burn more calories because your body is still in shock and this will cause it to burn calories over the 24 hour period.
Improved Anaerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity is how long your body can perform without oxygen while exercising at such a high intensity, for example a benefit of improved anaerobic capacity is improved vo2 and this how much oxygen you can inhale in one breath, the more oxygen in the muscles while exercising can have improve your rep range and posture throughout the exercise.
Stimulating muscle growth, To maximize growth in muscle mass and strength, exercise must stimulate the Type II, or fast-twitch, muscle fibers. This means for accomplishing high-intensity, low-volume resistance training it will stimulate muscles to grow.
Giant sets are 4 different exercises performed after each order without any rest to maximize effects on the body depending on what your goals are. Example may be a person wants to gain muscle mass they will do heavy weights on a specific muscle, do between 8-12 reps and 4 different exercises in order to gain results a lot quicker than normal 10 reps with a rest and a chat to mates in-between.
benefits are;
It helps you maintain a quick pace during your workout which is an aid to cardiovascular training.
Cuts down on your valuable time by allowing you to complete your workout faster.
Effective way to gain results depending on goals.
