Resembles a bell curve. After warming up, a relatively constant level of training is maintained in the target training zone for a prescribed length of time. (Most Common) - Answer- Continuous Training
Consists of harder bouts of exercise interspersed with easier bouts; these are called work and recovery cycles and the goal is to maintain easy and hard intervals - Answer- Interval Training
Usually done in a station format with equipment. Designed to elicit a cardio-respiratory response, and some are designed to alternate aerobic work with muscular endurance training - Answer- Circuit Training
