HIT-Parcours

A regular high school class (24 male students, approx. 17 years old) completed twice a high intensity circular training with 8 exercises and 2 sets. They performed with 2 different intervals:

-20 sec work – 10 sec. rest and change of exercise
-30 sec work – 20 sec. rest and change of exercise

Individual HRmax. reached in a shuttle-run-test was used as a reference. For each student, this would be compared with heartrates reached during the two circular trainings. Furthermore, students filled in a questionnaire about their motivation and the strain they felt during the training.
