HYPOXIA TRAINING

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...

Hello dear readers, once again we bring you a new post related to the best places to practice sport. After the last entry where we talked about the natural environment, we have thought it convenient to bring this new post where to propose a topic, which can bring debate, but which is interesting from a sports practice. So at first glance they are two opposite poles, but the two have things in common, including that you can play sports. https://pxhere.com/es/photo/600605 It is obvious that sports will be very different, on the beach, predominantly water sports, taking advantage of the peculiarities of the sea. But not only that, but they can also practice sports on the sea shore, with or without sand, to the taste of each one. Regarding the benefits provided, frequency of the physiological changes that produce the practiced sports modality, we found a clear benefit, and it is related to psychological factors. The practice in these places, affect emotions, so that it allows us...

VO2Max

Hello everyone, following the previous post on HIIT, we bring you a new entry related to VO2max. In it we will see what this parameter is and what is the use of knowing its values. The vo2max, is one of the main physiological markers on the functional capacity of the individual. In a simple way, we can say that the maximum oxygen consumption is the amount of oxygen used by our body tissues. To determine this factor, we depend on the ability of our cardiocirculatory system to transport blood and oxygen, and on the ability of our tissues to extract oxygen from the blood. Having said this, we can deduce that for many athletes it is a marker that is sometimes related to performance, and it is true, but it is also a great predictor of the risk of morbidity and mortality. In this post we will try to address both perspectives. The VO2max is an indicator that has progressively changed over the years. Its maximum peak can be reached from the physical activity of the individual. In elite a...

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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZnsLVArIt8 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 alre...
