Question 16 • Contemporary Health

How is interval training similar to circuit training?

Answer
A
Both programs alternate intense activity with periods of rest.
B
Both programs focus on switching from one exercise to another.
C
Both programs include several kinds of exercises within a cycle.
D
Both programs focus on completing one activity for a long period.

Explanation

Interval training alternates bursts of intense activity with periods of recovery or rest. Circuit training also typically alternates exercise efforts with brief rests between stations, so both use activity-and-rest periods. Switching exercises is especially characteristic of circuit training, while completing one activity for a long time describes neither.
