Using an example, distinguish between circuit training and continuous training.

circuit training has periods of work and rest whereas continuous is working without a break;

for example, a circuit would have periods of activity with periods of rest whereas with a run you would be working steadily for the length of the run from start to finish;

circuit training can be used to build a wide variety of components of fitness for an athlete whereas continuous builds up «cardiovascular» endurance/aerobic power;

for example, in a circuit you could have different stations doing resistance work or flexibility whereas with continuous you are doing the same thing and working the large muscles and heart and lungs for endurance;

circuit training is predominately using anaerobic energy system and continuous training is using predominately the aerobic system.
