Discuss in brief the different types of training method.

1. Aerobic Training: Aerobic training includes continuous activities, such as running, swimming, as well as Fartlek, circuit training and long-interval training. These methods are designed to improve the efficiency of the cardio respiratory system to deliver oxygen to working muscles.

2.Anaerobic training: Anaerobic training involves high-intensity, short-duration exercise (such as interval training). This method is characterized by repeated bursts over short distances at high intensity and are designed to improve the two anaerobic energy pathways.

3. Flexibility Training: Flexibility training encompasses four methods, static, ballistic, dynamic, and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). The appropriate method to use depends on the specific nature of the sport or activity involved.

4.Strength training: Strength training utilises weight and hydraulic machines or other devices, such as elastic bands or free weights, to provide resistance against which a muscle can contract. It is designed to improve the amount of force that can be exerted by the muscle during a contraction. The most commonly used method is isotonic strength training whereby the muscle length changes as weights are lifted and lowered.
