The workout '3 rounds for time: 400 m run, 10 clean press, 10 burpees' is an example of which training type?

• A. Sprint Interval Training (SIT)
• B. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
• C. 3 rounds for time
• D. High Intensity Functional Training (HIFT)

Answer: (C)

Understanding how a workout is framed and scored is being tested here. “Three rounds for time” tells you to complete three full rounds of the listed movements as fast as possible. This describes a format and an objective—finish in the shortest total time—rather than prescribing a fixed work/rest interval pattern or naming a specific training method.

Sprint Interval Training revolves around repeated sprints with defined recoveries, which isn’t specified in this workout. High Intensity Interval Training likewise uses set work/rest intervals, which again aren’t described here. High Intensity Functional Training is a broad approach that can include for-time workouts, but the explicit instruction to complete three rounds as quickly as possible points to the format itself rather than a distinct interval method or modality.

So the best description of this workout is that it’s organized by a three-round-for-time format.
