Sample Answer

Similarities:

  • Both athlete types use continuous training to develop aerobic base fitness
  • Both maintain elevated heart rate (70-80% MHR) without rest periods
  • Both require progressive overload through increased duration or intensity
  • Both experience improved heart efficiency and oxygen delivery to muscles
  • Both typically train 3-5 times per week during base building phases

Differences:

  • Duration and volume:
    • Individual athletes: Train for 60-120 minutes matching competition length
    • Team athletes: Limited to 30-45 minutes due to varied game requirements
  • Training specificity:
    • Individual athletes: Maintain steady-state intensity throughout entire sessions
    • Team athletes: Include varied paces to reflect stop-start game patterns
  • Skill integration:
    • Individual athletes: Focus purely on aerobic development and pacing strategies
    • Team athletes: Incorporate sport-specific skills like dribbling during runs
  • Session examples:
    • Individual athletes: 90-minute steady run for marathon preparation
    • Team athletes: 30-minute run with ball control for soccer fitness
  • Competition transfer:
    • Individual athletes: Training directly mirrors competition demands
    • Team athletes: Continuous training provides base for varied game intensities
  • Program emphasis:
    • Individual athletes: Continuous training forms 70-80% of total training
    • Team athletes: Continuous training represents 20-30% of program
