Fartlek training involves periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running during a continuous run. It develops cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, speed, recovery time, and lactate threshold. Sports that utilize fartlek training include tennis, rugby, soccer, and football through variations in movement direction and speed such as sprinting, jogging, and walking within a confined area like a basketball court. The strengths of fartlek training are that it provides variety, burns more calories, and is adaptable, while weaknesses include potential imbalance, increased injury risk for beginners, and difficulty evaluating individual performance.
