Circuit Training

1. Setting Up

   • Each Station should be clearly marked and the exercise or activity should be identified.
   • Exercises should be demonstrated to make sure that they're being performed properly.
   • There should be a variety of exercises within the circuit
   • Make sure a recovery period is included in your circuit

2. Fitness Circuit

   • Examples of the different exercises which could be included are as follows: Press-ups,Trunk curls, shuttle runs, tricep dips, burpees etc
   • These should be aimed at increasing general fitness
   • The main advantage of using this type of circuit is that you need little or no specialist equipment. Also it can be easily carried out in a sports hall.

3. Skills circuit

   • These exercises are particularly aimed at developing skills that are vital in a particular activity.
   • Usually used by game players where individual skills can be practiced
   • Skills such as dribbling a football in between cones.

4. Running the circuit

   • Timed circuits- there is a set time for the exercises, completing as many as possible in this time. A rest period follows immediately afterwards for recovery.
   • Fixed load- each particular station is labelled with the exact amount of work that must be done, without any particular time limit
   • Varied laps- most circuits consist of one or more laps.
