Impact Circuit Training in High School
LaFleche, Marc Joseph
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v25 n3 p22-25 Jan-Feb 2012
This article discusses Impact Circuit Training (ICT) which combines dodging and striking movements to create a workout that increases physical fitness levels in participants. Participants of ICT will strike a heavy bag, mitts, and a speed bag, jump rope, throw and catch a medicine ball, and jog as part of their exercise program. No contact is made between students and the exercises do not teach students to fight. Ideally for use in high school physical education settings, the workout is intense, increases the heart rate, and allows 30 seconds of rest between three-minute work periods. Striking exercises are designed to boost muscular endurance. The challenge most students face in ICT is the engagement in vigorous physical activity. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
