question 13 (multiple choice worth 5 points)
(02.02 lc)
high - intensity interval training involves
exercising at the peak of your ability for an entire workout, followed by a long rest period at the end
following a pattern of training for one week at high intensity, followed by one week of low intensity
switching between short bursts of intense activity, followed by periods of rest or low - intensity exercise
training at a special facility that uses equipment designed to work at high intensities only

Explanation:

High - intensity interval training (HIIT) is characterized by alternating between short bursts of intense exercise and periods of rest or low - intensity activity. This pattern allows for efficient calorie burning and improved cardiovascular fitness.
Option 1 is incorrect because HIIT is not about exercising at peak ability for the entire workout. Option 2 is wrong as HIIT is not based on a weekly high - low pattern. Option 4 is incorrect as HIIT does not require a special facility with high - intensity - only equipment.

Answer:

C. switching between short bursts of intense activity, followed by periods of rest or low - intensity exercise
