AeroTrainerPlus - Sports Trainer & Aerobic Conditioning |
$6.99 Educational Discounts |
The AeroTrainerPlus App includes several training drills in one App. The drills were designed to improve and maintain the level of aerobic and anaerobic fitness by allowing the user to train in one drill in two or more of the primary training zones. Advanced and experienced athletes can create their own versions of any of the drills by modifying several parameters.
Fartlek Drill
Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a form of interval training that uses the body's energy systems at different intensities and time periods, varying and alternating frequently. This puts the body’s energy systems under acyclic stress, better mimicking sports specific energy demands. With the Fartlek Drill you can train in several modes making each Fartlek drill different. The Fartlek Drill can select the intensities (paces) and time periods in a random manner based on the user selected sport and fitness or difficulty level. Visit our FarlekDrill App for a description of the Fartlek Drill features.
Pulse Drill
The Pulse Drill is an interval training drill, designed to train in one drill in two of the primary training zones. In this drill, the interval periods for each zone are kept constant throughout the drill. There is also a random mode that varies within a small range the time periods. This is ideal for team sports where typically the intensities vary at random.
Pyramid Drill
The Pyramid Drill is an interval training drill, kind of an inverted pyramid, where for the fast pace interval the time increases at each new stage up to a maximum value and then decreases down to the starting point. In this drill, the interval periods for the slow pace are either kept constant or varied equal to the fast pace interval.
Tempo Run
The Tempo Run Drill is designed to train in zone 2 of the primary training zones. The drill starts with a jog at a marathon, which is then followed by a recovery easy jog, continued by a second hard jog. It can also be used for training over distance (long runs) at an easy pace (training zone 1).
Repetition Sprints
The Repetition Sprints Drill is designed to develop absolute speed. It is a drill where several reps of sprints between 5 to 100 m sprints are made with maximum recovery in between sprints.
The App includes a "Quick Setup" to facilitate selection of drill parameters based on the user's fitness or difficulty level.
Using the In-App Upgrades you can upgrade the App to include the Sports Zoning Module. This module allows you to configure a time distribution scheme, save it as a sport and use it in any Fartlek Drill as you use the default sports.
Also, with the In-App you can add the features of our popular AeroRadar App to help you plan and set your training objectives.
