Which Intensity Should You Train At?🤔
Today I'm going through the subject "Training Intensity". Comparing High & Low intensity and the benefits of each.
- What is intensity?
Training intensity refers to: “The level of effort an individual applies during physical activity or exercise.”
It is often used as a measure to determine how hard the body is working during a workout.
Relative Effort: Intensity can vary depending on an individual's fitness level and capacity. For instance, what is considered intense for one person might be moderate for another.
- Measurements:
-Heart Rate: Percentage of maximum heart rate (e.g., working at 70-85% of max HR for high intensity).
-Perceived Exertion: Using scales like the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE), where a person rates their effort on a scale of 1-10 or 6-20.
-Load or Resistance: Percentage of one-rep max (1RM) in strength training, e.g., lifting at 80% of 1RM.
- High VS Low intensity
-Recovery short term
-Recovery long term
-Muscle growth
-Injuries
- What to choose?
-How often do you train per week?
-How much time per session do you have?
-Isolating VS compounding exercises
-Can be different for different exercises
-Different between workouts as well!
