Endurance Training
In the field of training science, endurance describes a persons tolerance to fatigue, i.e. how long a certain level of resistance can be kept. There are different forms of endurance, for example short-term endurance and long-term endurance.
Running is a very popular endurance sport. The sport has become more common, especially due to the lockdowns caused by COVID-19. The advantages are obvious: You dont need much equipment, you can run anytime and anywhere, and different training methods can provide a lot of variety. However, many people are not aware of those training methods. They just run to get some exercise and not to increase their performance. But there are just so many more ways to get better.
In order to achieve an adaptation, i.e. to endure longer, to withstand higher speeds, etc., a "training stimulus" is required. Because only if you expose yourself to different stimuli, which you are not yet able to cope with, you will improve physically.
Various performance tests can help to find the level of where to place the training stimulus, which are introduced in this subject. One of those tests is the UKK Walking Test. It is primarily targeted at beginners and provides future fitness trainers with a basis for efficient endurance training planning.
Furthermore, the course material includes a list of different endurance training methods and their benefits, so that anyone interested in endurance training can put together a suitable workout. These include the continuous method, the fartlek method, the intensive and extensive intervals, and many more. Duration, volume, intensity, density and frequency are important parameters for setting the training stimulus.
