What are the different types of endurance training? What are the benefits of different endurance training types? How long and at what intensities should the training intervals be done? This post gives an overview of these topics to provide you with tools for mastering your own endurance training system specific to your sports and your individual case.
Strength training is an inevitable part of almost every sport discipline and most of us have visited a gym. However, there is still a lot of confusion about it and not everyone understands the real rainbow of the types of strength training. As we have all of these listed in Sportlyzer’s choice of activities, we thought it might be useful to provide a short description of the best-known types of strength training.
Many athletes use average heart rate as an important training metric, but there are times when your heart rate monitor is not functioning well or you just forgot to take it with you. We know how frustrating these situations are and we continuously develop better algorithms for automated replacement of your missing heart rate data.
Our ever ongoing conversation with coaches brought our attention to the topic that the core problem of training data management is BAD MEMORY – people simply forget to log or plan their training in time. Therefore, Sportlyzer’s task is not to only provide sports teams with a platform for training data management, but also to help them not to forget their daily duties around it.
Some Sportlyzer users prefer to set the limits of heart rate zones in their heart rate monitor and type in the time spent in zones while logging their training. We have added some tricks to make it as smooth as possible.
Training intensity is a critical factor for successful training plans. Training too much at high intensities compared to aerobic trainings can lead to accumulation of training stress and overtraining. Tracking of training intensity is easy if you have a heart rate monitor and it works. But what will you do if you forget it at home, the battery runs out, or you just don’t have one yet? Is there an alternative?
We are guilty as charged of not reporting about Sportlyzer’s progress. With this post we hope to make this up to you. And as you can see below, the news are awesome:
