HIIT

-
Hello everyone, after the last posts on the different metabolisms, for all sports lovers, this new method of training, related to aerobic and anaerobic training, called HIIT. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a specific training method for short sessions at high intensity (high% HR max values ​​are reached). It consists of alternating short and intense periods with others of recovery or medium-low intensity. The total duration of the session does not usually exceed 20 minutes. Before continuing, I leave you this link, from a HIIT session that can serve as an example:

After watching the video, you probably have a clear idea about how this type of training works. Well, analyzing this type of activity we can ensure that it is adapted correctly to people who have little time to practice physical activity, we can fit it at any time of the day, therefore, for people who do not work shifts. allow going out to play sports, they already have a solution. With HIIT, we get many benefits in a short time. Due to the high intensity at which it is practiced, energy expenditure rises, and therefore we burn many calories, which is necessary to maintain or improve our physical condition. Be careful, that is not all, the continuous practice of this methodology has its effects on our metabolism, that is, we not only burn calories at the time of practice, but it accelerates our metabolism, so calorie burning will lengthen during hours. Burning calories is also related to fat burning and consequently weight loss. This is mainly due to an increase in VO2max. But friends, you may wonder, what is the VO2max? Seeing the importance of oxygen consumption (vo2) in sports, we will leave this topic for the next post, I am sure you will be interested!

Before concluding, I want to emphasize that, following this perspective, we might think that practicing this type of exercise is the “panacea”. Well, it may be true, but we must take into account the context of each person. That is why I recommend, before starting any type of training, to contact a professional in the sciences of physical activity and sports.

Greetings friends, remember, see you in the next post, talking about VO2max.

https://as.com/deporteyvida/2017/05/09/portada/1494325968_739260.html Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about our bones and how to strengthen them. Did you know that our body needs calcium and phosphate to build and keep our bones strong and healthy? So you know, the first thing is a good diet where those nutrients are not lacking. However, that may not be enough. Throughout life, the body reabsorbs old bone and constantly creates bone. As long as the balance between old and new bone is maintained, there is no problem, but when more old bone begins to be destroyed, we begin to have bone loss or as Osteoporosis would say. Most of the population realizes that they have osteoporosis after a fracture caused because the bone is weak and, therefore, any blow, pressure or stress can fracture it. We must bear in mind that older people and women who have entered menopause are more likely to suffer it and therefore, if you are in this group of people we recommend that you ...

Hello friends, we are here again, this time to bring you a new training method, which for many, perhaps, unknown sea. This is training in hypoxia, whose relationship with the latest messages about VO2max and mountain training is completely direct. Hypoxia training is a legal, safe and effective training method (there are studies that support it) to improve physical performance. It is a method whose main characteristic is to train with partial pressures of gases in the air, which are decreased, either by the height of the mountain or simulated by technological devices. This leads to changes in uptake and respiratory processes, producing different physiological adaptations in the athlete's body, especially, increasing hematopoiesis. This training method has three variants, and all three seek the same benefit: - Stay at height (LHTH): live high and train high - Stay at height and train low (LHTL) - Stay low and train high (LLTH). Within this method we find IHE (Intermi...
