An athlete performs 30-second maximal efforts separated by recovery periods. Which training method are they using?
An athlete completes the same running speed after training but now works at a lower percentage of maximum heart rate. What does this most likely indicate?

Aerobic Capacity
An athlete maintains the required intensity of their high-intensity efforts but their recovery time between efforts becomes progressively longer. Which fitness component should be prioritised/worked on?
Aerobic Capacity

A resistance session uses low resistance, high repetitions and short recovery periods. Which fitness component is MOST directly being developed?
Muscular Endurance
An athlete repeats the same gym session after six weeks of training. They can now complete more repetitions before their performance begins to decline. Which fitness component has most likely improved?
Muscular Endurance
A coach increases an athlete's interval intensity from 80% to 90% MHR, but also doubles the recovery between efforts. Why might this not represent a greater overall training stimulus?
doubles the recovery between efforts. Why might this not represent a greater overall training stimulus?The increased recovery may offset/cancel out the increased intensity.
