Fitness - Aerobic Training

By Lino Mains


Fitness generally includes each aerobic and anaerobic aspects. In accordance with the priorities from the sportsman, one or the other on the two elements will probably be emphasized, however the second one particular won't be neglected. The objective of carrying out fitness workouts is, ideally, to make a comprehensive athlete, able to face a variety of physical and psychological demands.

The object of aerobic fitness would be the so-called cardio education, a term which refers towards the cardio-vascular technique and the heart muscle (myocardium). We'll talk about trainings which don't make oxygen duty and which are generally referred to as 'trainings of aerobic effort'. Much more precisely, they refer to efforts which take a extended time (greater than 12 minutes) - usually they take in between 20 and 60 minutes and they determine acceleration of cardiac frequency and lung ventilation. Efficiency in training requires a frequency between 60-80% in the maximum cardiac frequency (calculated in accordance with the formula 720-age - in years).

The standard workout routines of aerobic fitness come from classic resistance sports (long distance running, cycling, swimming, quick walking, and so forth.) and from different aerobic coaching applications (aerobic gymnastics, step-aerobic, tae-bo, dance, etc.).

Aerobic fitness utilizes specific cardio machines: treadmill, classic or elliptical trainer, stepper,etc. Dosing the aerobic work depends upon the somatic sort as well as the actual objectives of every sportsman.

Normally, the ectomorphic and mezomorphic sorts, which do not accumulate huge quantities of subcutaneous adipose tissue, will must practice for a rather quick time (20-30 minutes per education in two or three trainings a week, in non-consecutive days). This time is needed for realizing an efficient cardiac stimulation, with no the threat of losing muscular mass.

For the endomorphic somatic sort, 'benefiting' of a good deal of adipose tissue, aerobic training must final 45-60 minutes and requirements to take location 4-6 occasions a week.

Even if trainings are extended (time, miles) and they're much more frequent, their intensity, that is provided by the cardiac rhythm per education, must remain high, so finally the body burns as a lot of calories as you can. It's well-known that only soon after 20-30 minutes the physique begins to mobilize the fat 'deposits'. Ahead of this, at the beginning in the training, the energetic support in the aerobic effort is ensured by the muscular and hepatic glycogen, the same as in anaerobic efforts, which are supported exclusively by the glycogen from the muscle tissues as well as the liver.

That is one of several primary factors for recommending, in programs designed for reducing weight, aerobic workouts - they're the greatest and quickest 'fat burners'. Naturally, the other big benefits of these workout routines seem in the cardiovascular, pulmonary, psychological and also other levels.

A real euphoria is observed at the psychological level in the course of aerobic coaching. This is motivated by the big quantity of endorphins created within the physique by this type of effort. Endorphins, also named hormones of happiness, will not be made in such a large quantity throughout anaerobic work. Anaerobic education determines a massive release of catecholamine (adrenaline, noradrenalin), which are considered tension hormones.

A disadvantage of aerobic fitness is, 1st of all, non-developing a powerful and fortified musculature, due to the lowered muscle efforts. We can also observe (and should resist) the monotony on the training, that is extended and repetitive.

Even so, normally speaking, the advantages of aerobic fitness are exceptional and irreplaceable.
