What is circuit training?

• A. A training format that focuses on a single exercise with long rest.
• B. A training format where multiple exercises are performed in sequence with minimal rest, targeting different muscle groups.
• C. A form of cardio training performed at a constant pace.
• D. A sport-specific conditioning drill using only bodyweight.

Answer: (B)

Circuit training is a workout approach that moves through several different exercises in one session with little rest between stations, typically hitting different muscle groups to keep the heart rate up and blend strength with cardio. This setup matches the idea of performing multiple exercises in sequence with minimal rest and targeting different muscle groups, making it an efficient full-body conditioning method.

The other descriptions miss that key structure: focusing on a single exercise with long rests describes a traditional split or standalone strength set rather than a circuit. A constant-paced cardio session describes steady-state endurance training, not a sequence of varied moves. A sport-specific conditioning drill using only bodyweight could be a circuit, but the defining feature is the rotation through multiple exercises across different muscle groups with short rest, not necessarily limited to sport drills or bodyweight only.
