Fredrick is a long-time professional in the fitness industry. Today he's going to share some great info on training and nutrition that those new to the industry will especially benefit from.
It appears that training with some intervals, despite working up a sweat, makes no difference at all to how well you perform. I did some research and here's what I discovered.
We all understand the benefits of interval training at this point, and I prefer to do intervals on hills due to the reduction in compressive forces. Here's 2 examples of incline/hill workouts.
If your goal is to maximize your endurance for your particular sport or event, then it matters how you set up your intervals when training. Here's how and why.
You hear a lot about Tabata intervals. It is an efficient and intense way to exercise aerobically and anaerobically. Do you know where this exercise protocol originated?
Scientists have learned that intense exercise correlates directly to elevated plasma homocysteine levels and inflammation. But supplementing with lower intensity workouts and folic acid can help.
Scientists took a look at EPOC - excess post-exercise oxygen consumption - and discovered that the more fit you are, the less benefit you get from intense workouts.
These workouts are designed by world record holding swimmer Hannah Caldas. A combination of strength, cardio, and swimming, you've got to try this out!
For endurance athletes it is a fine balance between volume and intensity in their training. New research looks at helping cyclists increase their VO2 max with high intensity running intervals.
When it comes to exercise, not only is finding the time to do it an issue, but also assuring the exercise session is result-producing. This is where high intensity interval training comes into play.
