High intensity interval training (Tabata method)

[Tibor Gyorfi, Sr.]

We will start incorporating elements of high intensity interval
training in our practices. Basically, this consists of 20 seconds of
maximal or submaximal (90 to 100%) effort, followed by 10 seconds of
rest. The full exercise calls for 8 such periods. It sounds simple,
but not easy to perform this.
Beginners will start with 20 seconds of maximal or submaximal
(90 to 100%) effort, such as sprinting, followed by 40 seconds of
rest.
Intermediate skaters can do 20 and 20 seconds, respectively.
Advanced skaters can start with 20 seconds of maximal or
submaximal (90 to 100%) effort, followed by 10 seconds are rest.
Study by Mr Tabata and cowerkers showed impressive results in terms
of increased aerobic and unaerobic capacity.
I will share these numbers with you all tomorrow at 5 pm. Remember,
tomorrow (Wendesday), we will have an outdoor practice (the carpet in
the skating rink is being replaced).
Parents, please, tell me (privately) if your child has any heart
condition (arythmia, previous operation etc), because we will find
alternative exercise for the child.
