HIT training and training programs

Health and fitness are increasingly a matter of time. Many people abandon their training shortly after starting or never begin at all, using lack of time as an excuse.

However, consistency in training is important!

Therefore, High-Intensity Training (HIT) offers a solution to the time problem. Participants learn what HIT training is and where it is primarily applied.

HIT originated in bodybuilding and is a training method to effectively train muscles with greatly reduced time investment. One basic principle is very slow movement execution with a special emphasis on the eccentric phase, often done in only 1 to a maximum of 2 sets.

In this unit, HIT training is compared with other training methods, and the advantages and disadvantages in terms of execution, muscle building, and strength gain are explained. Additionally, participants learn how to structure HIT for different target groups and are introduced to additional intensity techniques to optimize the training stimulus for well-trained individuals.

In the practical part, participants plan a high-intensity training session and take on the role of both trainer, practicing guidance, motivation, and correction, and athlete, gaining personal experience with high-intensity training. This unit introduces participants to another specialized training method to introduce new stimuli and how to implement them in practice with various target groups.
