be supplied. This type of training is only suitable after a
basic training period and when the animal's aerobic capacity is
large enough. |
|
 |
Anaerobic
Threshold |
|
| This exercise
intensity uses the aerobic threshold. When glycogen oxidization
takes place without creating an oxygen debt. Often divided into
intervals. Training at this level improves performance capacity
needed in competitive situations. Lactate value should be about
4mmol. |

State |
|
| Aerobic
training improves Cardio-respiratory functions as well as
general aerobic capacity. This type of training can be
maintained over long durations. |
