The table below shows an athlete’s adaptations from training that occurred over 14 weeks.

\begin{array}{|l|l|}
\hline \text{Adaptation} & \text{Result} \\
\hline \text{% slow-twitch muscle fibre} \quad & \text{Increase} \\
\hline \text{Aerobic capacity} & \text{Increase} \\
\hline \text{Number of capillaries} & \text{Increase} \\
\hline \text{Anaerobic capacity} & \text{No change} \\
\hline
\end{array}

Which is the most likely method of training to have been undertaken?

  1. Circuit training
  2. Fartlek training
  3. Resistance training
  4. Continuous training

\(D\)

Show Worked Solution
  • D is correct: Continuous training produces purely aerobic adaptations without anaerobic improvements.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Circuit training would improve both aerobic and anaerobic capacity.
  • B is incorrect: Fartlek training would improve some anaerobic capacity due to intervals.
  • C is incorrect: Resistance training would primarily improve anaerobic not aerobic capacity.
