Top Episode Replay: The Basics You NEED to Know About HIIT
Top Episode Replay:Designing HIIT workouts isn’t just about the session you put down on paper.You need to first know the important basics of WHY you are doing them, and this relates critically to the CONTEXT! The impact of TIME ⏱️, INTENSITY 🔥 or HOW OFTEN 🖩, you do them is often ignored or forgotten, and these factors need to be implemented in line with CONTEXT (see Episode 1).But can’t you just TRAIN HARD all the time to maximise my GAINS 💰?Well, in our second episode we highlight the 3 major PHYSIOLOGICAL TARGETS 🎯 that you can specifically design HIIT sessions and workouts for👨🏽🏫, and should always be considered.We cover the three big TARGETS as well as the HIIT type effects:Aerobic responses and effects.Anaerobic responses and interaction effects.Neuromuscular responses and interaction effects.Whether you are just after weekend-warrior goals 💪, training more seriously for any SPORTS 🏆, or are a coach, sports scientist or other practitioner yourself - you need understand WHY you are doing what you are doing._____________________ Today’s speakers:Prof. Paul Laursen https://www.paullaursen.comDr. Martin Buchheit https://martin-buchheit.net/_____________________ References:Buchheit M, Laursen PB.
