CourtFit editorial
Rest intervals and session density
Rest intervals change how closely efforts are packed. Density is a description of the session, not a universal target for every player or sport.
The decision in context
An interval is time between efforts. Density describes how much work sits inside a period. The same exercises can feel different when the spacing changes.
How to apply it this week
A dense session may fit a short calendar window but compete with a hard court day.
The trade-off to name
Longer rest can preserve quality while using more time; shorter rest can make the session compact while changing fatigue and technique demands.
Where the answer stops
This page is educational planning context. It does not diagnose symptoms, set an individual load, replace court practice or qualified advice, or guarantee a sport result.
