How to use Training Zones to get the most out of Continuous Training

The video tutorial discusses continuous training, a method without rest breaks, focusing on maintaining a steady intensity. It explains how to calculate maximum heart rate and training zones, emphasizing the importance of staying within the aerobic zone (60-80% of max heart rate) for effective training. The tutorial differentiates between aerobic and anaerobic training and provides tips on monitoring and improving training sessions using heart rate monitors. It also highlights the significance of continuous training for cardiovascular fitness, especially for GCSE PE students.

What is the primary focus of continuous training?

• To alternate between high and low intensity

• To maintain a steady intensity

• To focus on strength training

• To include frequent rest breaks

How is the maximum heart rate calculated?

• 200 minus your weight

• 200 minus your age

• 220 minus your age

• 220 minus your weight

What percentage of your maximum heart rate defines the aerobic training zone?

• 50-70%

• 60-80%

• 70-90%

• 80-100%

What happens if you train above 80% of your maximum heart rate?

• You are working anaerobically

• You are not training at all

• You are in the fat-burning zone

• You are working aerobically

Why is it important to monitor your heart rate during continuous training?

• To improve flexibility

• To increase muscle mass

• To avoid dehydration

• To ensure you are in the aerobic zone

What is a potential consequence of training below 60% of your maximum heart rate?

• You are working anaerobically

• You are not effectively training

• You are overtraining

• You are in the fat-burning zone

Which device can help monitor your heart rate during training?

• A GPS tracker

• A heart rate monitor

• A pedometer

• A stopwatch
