Fartlek training, which takes its name from a Swedish word meaning "speed play," is a training system that focuses on the entire aerobic system. Its goal is to develop the aerobic system (the body's usage of oxygen in metabolic processes). Because of the completeness of Fartlek training, however, it can also serve to improve the anaerobic system (those parts not directly related to oxygen usage, such as muscle mass etc.)
