Circuit Training
When a performer designs a sequence of exercise stations that are broken up by rest periods.
Each station will have a specific goal while the rest period allows adequate recovery before the next exercise.
Stations can be anything, which makes the method applicable for the majority of sports.
Stations need to align to the performer’s goals.
The amount, order and time spent at each station, be it work or rest, needs to be considered.
The intensity of the work and rest stations need to be appropriate to the chosen sport of the performer.
The length of time at each station, or the quantity of laps of the circuit will determine the total duration of the training session.
More complex circuits will require specialist equipment, but it is not a necessity when completing effective circuit training sessions.
A performer could use weights, speeds distances or times as measures of intensity and success at each station. This will allow them to track progress and implement the principle of progressive overload into their training regime.
ADVANTAGES
Easy to incorporate the principle of training ‘Specificity’.
A performer or coach can design and tailor a circuit to develop essential attributes within their sport.
With a limitless range of activities to choose from, motivation will remain elevated and boredom can be avoided.
DISADVANTAGES
Time consuming to design and pick appropriate activities.
Time to set up and take down adds to total training time which may not be suitable for novice performers.
Expensive if specialist equipment or technology is used.
