Training systems
1. Continuous training systems:
1. Steady running. This involves running at low intensity, at a constant rhythm. It is
usually done on flat ground. It is used by all types of athletes. Example. Run 15
minutes at 160-170 beats per minute (heart rate )
2. Fartlek. This is a game where you have to run at different speeds. It involves
changing your speed during the exercise.
In general, it is focusing on aerobic stamina
2. Interval training systems:
This involves dividing the training load into parts, with recovery periods between each period.
Recovery could be complete or not. Intensity here is always over 70%- 75% of your maximum
heart rate
Interval training is focusing on anaerobic stamina
3. Combined training systems:
1. Full body workout/total training. It consists on a combination of steady running
and strength or gymnastic exercises. After each exercise you always run.
2. Circuit training. This involves completing a certain number of activities at various
different locations called stations. You begin at a specific station and finish training
when you have completed the activities at each one. In this case, you don´t have to
run after each exercise like you do in total training.

Combined systems workout both categories: aerobic and anaerobic stamina
STRENGTH
Our strength develops progressively to reach a maximum at approximately 30 years
old, it is important not to overwork joints, tendons and muscles with maximum strength
exercises until your body has stopped growing. This idea does not mean you are not able to
improve your strength, but strength endurance training is more suitable at your age.
Training systems
1. Repetitions
This involves repeating a specific number of exercises, which are separated by a break
to rest. When you have a lot of repetitions, they are divided into sets and you rest
between each set.
Hands free: This involves using your body as your resistance weight.
Light equipment: Like medicine balls and elastic bands
Weights and machines: They help you to work and develop specific muscle
groups
Circuits. This consist of executing a certain number of activities located in a
space called a station
Experts recommend us: (in order to improve our strength)
Workout 2-3 times per week
60-90 minutes long
6-15 repetitions for each exercise
1-3 series for each exercise
0,5-1kg weight increases

FLEXIBILITY
Flexibility is regressive ability; we have a lot when we are young and, especially if we
do not work it out, slowly lose it over the years. A lack of flexibility is one of the main reasons
we suffer muscle and tendon injuries besides decreasing the performance of the sports
