What type of training could help improve both speed and coordination?

Interval training is a type of training that alternates between periods of high-intensity effort and lower-intensity recovery or rest. This method is particularly effective for enhancing cardiovascular fitness, as well as speed, because it pushes your body to perform at varying intensities. As participants perform these bursts of high-intensity activity, they develop their speed. The quick changes in pace and effort also require coordination, as the body must adapt its movement patterns rapidly to maintain performance during both the intense and recovery phases.

While weight training is beneficial for building strength, it doesn't focus as much on enhancing speed and coordination directly. Yoga promotes flexibility, balance, and relaxation, which can indirectly contribute to overall coordination, but it doesn’t specifically target speed. Plyometrics, which involves explosive movements designed to increase power and speed, can also enhance coordination to some extent; however, it is primarily focused on developing muscular power rather than the overall cardiovascular fitness aspect that interval training provides. Thus, interval training stands out as the most comprehensive option for improving both speed and coordination effectively.
