Interval training method of endurance development: The name of system comes from the 'interval' or rest period, between the fast runs. This method is based on the principle, 'effort and recovery'. This means during training some recovery (rest) period is given between the specified workouts so that the runner recovers. The pulse rate increases, blood pressure increases and there is also increase in accumulation of waste products such as lactic acid and CO2., etc. For example, repeating 300 mts (metres) with maximum speed (heart rate goes up to 180 beats per minute) and 100 mts with slow jog or walk and again get ready for next repetition. Next repetition is not given until the pulse returns to 110 treats per minute. The main aim of interval training is to increase the ability of an athlete and also to improve anaerobic performance.

The interval method is based on four variables:

(a) Speed of work 

(b) Duration of recovery 

(c) Duration of work 

(d) Number of repetitions

The load can be increased by manipulating above mentioned factors, for example, by increasing the number of repetitions, keeping time. distance and recovery period unchanged. We have to manipulate one factor at a time until the athlete adapts to it. Athletes all over the world have greatly benefitted from the interval training method. The training workload can also be, for example, 100 metres sprint-200 metres jog. 100 metres sprint-200 metres jog or walk.

Interval training method is of two types:

(a) Intensive interval method: In intensive interval method intensity is high i.e., 80% to 90%. This method is used generally for the development of the athlete's speed endurance, explosive strength, strength endurance and maximum strength. This training is done when competition is closer and preparation time is less. 

(b) Extensive interval training: In extensive interval training method the intensity is low i.e., 60% to 80%. In this method general endurance and strength of an athlete is developed. The number of repetitions should be more as intensity of repetitions is less.
