editcan someone tell me which is more effective - farlek or interval training when you are cycling? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.242.104.100 (talk) 15:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Someone said "Fartlek" comes from swedish. I haven't heard about it, but the compounds look like they would be translated into the swedish word for "Speed-Play".
--194.19.40.3 11:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)A bird once told me that "Fartslek" is a training technique developed by norwegian cross-country skiers and is usually used when running in hilly environments. Could "Pace-Play" or "Pace-game" be better translations?
- At least Oxford English Dictionary, MSN Encarta, and American Heritage Dictionary translate it as "speed play". --Nikai 13:42, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
Why is fartlek always spelled with a capital letter in the article? It's not a trade mark or something like that right?? 81.213.229.202 20:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
The opening paragraph of this article is very confusing. It refers to Fartlek as being continuous, but then says Fartlek is different from continuous training. It also states Fartlek is aerobic, but then states it's a mixture of both aerobic and anaerobic. I cannot correct this because I can't make sense of it.Mr Pillows (talk) 01:03, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
I think you emphasise to much on the continuous as being continuous aerobic. I assume in this case contnuous only means there are no true pauses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.241.10 (talk) 17:22, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
- It seems clear to me that "fartlek" isn't an English word. Hence I will delete it from the list of Swedish words that has been exported into the English language Boeing720 (talk) 03:44, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
Karvonen method
editThe article mentions the Karvonen method, and then says the intensity should be between 60% and 80% of the maximum heart rate. If you read the section on the Karvonen method, that ought to be the resting heart rate plus 60/80% of the difference between the resting rate and maximum rate.
A similar mistake is made in the heart rate diagram included in the Aerobic exercise article. I have pointed the mistake there, although other articles which link to it are Anaerobic exercise and Heart rate
