“Cross” modalities: are the AMRAP, RFT and EMOM models applicable to health?

Abstract Currently, training models based on the maximum number of repetitions/rounds or on the execution of a proposed task in the shortest possible time have been gaining ground among Physical Education professionals. However, in our opinion, these models have significant drawbacks that oppose their use in the health context. Thus, we provide an analysis of the problems related to the control and magnitude of the training load (volume and intensity), distribution, duration, and characteristics of the recovery intervals and, of course, the intra-session density. This analysis was made without having measured each of these proposals directly. It is based on the reflection of the dynamics of the efforts made and potential fatigue generated. We hope to be able to verify and provide accurate and reliable data that may support and confirm the hypothesis generated through this analysis.
