Interval Training

Paper Summary:

A study of interval training, which allows a person to perform many minutes of super-maximal effort. Such high-intensity effort done at a steady pace would otherwise exhaust a person very quickly. This paper reviews a study conducted on interval training and includes a background into the theory as well as statistical analysis of the experiment. The writer includes a substantial background on the muscle system as it relates to extreme levels of exercise as well as diagrams to assist the reader.

From the Paper:

"A 1997 study found that splitting training tasks into intervals or repetitions will increase the amount of oxygen consumed and needed to be repaid after each unit when compared to performing the same distance at the same workload in a continuous or steady exercise regimen. Intermittent, or interval, training tasks were found to place a greater load on the oxygen transport system than do continuous tasks."
