| It is common to hear fitness
| |
| | Think about it this way -- Exercise that
|
| professionals and medical doctors
| |
| | trains your heart to rapidly increase and
|
| prescribe low to moderate intensity
| |
| | rapidly decrease will make your heart
|
| aerobic training (cardio) to people who
| |
| | more capable of handling everyday stress.
|
| are trying to prevent heart disease or
| |
| | Stress can cause your blood pressure and
|
| lose weight. Most often, the
| |
| | heart rate to increase rapidly. Steady
|
| recommendations constitute something
| |
| | state jogging and other endurance
|
| along the lines of "perform 30-60 minutes
| |
| | training does not train your heart to be
|
| of steady pace cardio 3-5 times per week
| |
| | able to handle rapid changes in heart
|
| maintaining your heart rate at a moderate
| |
| | rate or blood pressure.The important
|
| level". Before you just give in to this
| |
| | aspect of variable cyclic training that
|
| popular belief and become the "hamster on
| |
| | makes it superior over steady state
|
| the wheel" doing endless hours of boring
| |
| | cardio is the recovery period in between
|
| cardio, I'd like you to consider some
| |
| | bursts of exertion. That recovery period
|
| recent scientific research that indicates
| |
| | is crucially important for the body to
|
| that steady pace endurance cardio work
| |
| | elicit a healthy response to an exercise
|
| may not be all it's cracked up to
| |
| | stimulus. Another benefit of variable
|
| be.First, realize that our bodies are
| |
| | cyclic training is that it is much more
|
| designed to perform physical activity in
| |
| | interesting and has lower drop-out rates
|
| bursts of exertion followed by recovery,
| |
| | than long boring steady state cardio
|
| or stop-and-go movement instead of steady
| |
| | programs.To summarize, some of the
|
| state movement. Recent research is
| |
| | potential benefits of variable cyclic
|
| suggesting that physical variability is
| |
| | training compared to steady state
|
| one of the most important aspects to
| |
| | endurance training are as follows:
|
| consider in your training. This tendency
| |
| | improved cardiovascular health, increased
|
| can be seen throughout nature as all
| |
| | anti-oxidant protection, improved immune
|
| animals demonstrate stop-and-go motion
| |
| | function, reduced risk for joint wear and
|
| instead of steady state motion. In fact,
| |
| | tear, reduced muscle wasting, increased
|
| humans are the only creatures in nature
| |
| | residual metabolic rate following
|
| that attempt to do "endurance" type
| |
| | exercise, and an increased capacity for
|
| physical activities. Most competitive
| |
| | the heart to handle life's every day
|
| sports (with the exception of endurance
| |
| | stressors. There are many ways you can
|
| running or cycling) are also based on
| |
| | reap the benefits of stop-and-go or
|
| stop-and-go movement or short bursts of
| |
| | variable intensity physical training. One
|
| exertion followed by recovery. To examine
| |
| | of the absolute most effective forms of
|
| an example of the different effects of
| |
| | variable intensity training to really
|
| endurance or steady state training versus
| |
| | reduce body fat and bring out serious
|
| stop-and-go training, consider the
| |
| | muscular definition is performing wind
|
| physiques of marathoners versus
| |
| | sprints.Most competitive sports such as
|
| sprinters. Most sprinters carry a
| |
| | football, basketball, racquetball,
|
| physique that is very lean, muscular, and
| |
| | tennis, hockey, etc. are naturally
|
| powerful looking, while the typical
| |
| | comprised of highly variable stop-and-go
|
| dedicated marathoner is more often
| |
| | motion. In addition, weight training
|
| emaciated and sickly looking. Now which
| |
| | naturally incorporates short bursts of
|
| would you rather resemble?Another factor
| |
| | exertion followed by recovery periods.
|
| to keep in mind regarding the benefits of
| |
| | High intensity interval training (varying
|
| physical variability is the internal
| |
| | between high and low intensity intervals
|
| effect of various forms of exercise on
| |
| | on any piece of cardio equipment) is yet

| excessive steady state endurance exercise

| |
| | example, an interval training session on
