NOTE

Balancing Low and High Intensity Training for Athletic Performance

Different intensities of training have different benefits. Low-intensity training helps in building a solid foundation and developing potential, as it is less fatiguing. However, it is crucial to include high-intensity training as well to target fast switch muscle fibers, the respiratory system, and the upper limits of VO2. It is not about choosing between low or high intensity but finding the right balance. Both low and high intensity training are important, and the key lies in the dose, frequency, and timing. While more low-intensity training is generally recommended due to better recovery, high-intensity training should not be neglected. For optimal results, pushing towards higher intensity should be limited to a few times a week, as excessive high-intensity training can lead to fatigue and hinder recovery.
