Approaches to Improve CRE
CONTINUOUS TRAINING
Any exercises (e.g. running, swimming, cycling) that
ensures that the heart rate is operating in your
training zone for approximately 20 to 30 minutes for
3 to 4 sessions per week.
FARTLEK TRAINING
Continuous running or swimming with short sprint
bursts followed by a slower recovery and then
more continuous paced running or swimming.
Approaches to Improve CRE
Interval Training
Interval running leads to improvement by mixing
heavy periods of fast running with recovery periods of
slower jogging.
Cardio Respiratory Endurance
Improved training leads to improved CRE
which in turn will lead to an improved
performance.
