FARTLEK TRAINING AND ITS EFFECTS ON PHYSIOLOGICAL VARIABLES

What could be the advantage in this sort of random training, it may not sound very scientific, but proponents of this method feel that true fartlek training has many advantages.Fartlek teaches a runner to go varied at a time instead of locking into one peace. This will make a stronger runner over a course with varying terrain, and can help a runner learn to stay with their competitors when they throw a surge in the middle of a race. Physiologically fartlek is similar to interval training. Runners can work on their speed and increase their oxygen uptake. Since a dirt road or nice trail can be used, the runner can escape the constant jarring of pavement or the left turn of the track. Also with a less structured format runners can ease off on days they feel bad without a stopwatch telling them how slow they are going. Conversely, some runners find they can do a long hard workout when they do not have the pressure of a prescribed number of repetitions on a track.This book is the systemic study on fartlek training which reveals the training schedule in form of the capsule and its effect were highlighted on the selected Physiological variables.
