endurance training
Let’s explore the fascinating world of mitochondrial adaptations! Discover how endurance training transforms these cellular powerhouses, enhancing energy production and muscle function. Explore the science behind this remarkable process and practical tips to unlock these benefits yourself.
You’ve probably heard that endurance exercise is best for heart health and that strength training does little to improve heart function or protect against cardiovascular disease. However, a new study calls this into question. Can strength training lower your risk of cardiovascular disease too?
It’s clear that what you eat impacts the composition of your gut microbiome. But, can exercise change the composition of your gut as well? Find out what research shows about endurance exercise, your gut, and the health of your gut microbiome.
Strength training or endurance training – which is best for weight loss? A recent study looked at this issue. See what science shows about exercise type and the role it plays in fat loss and body composition.
Do you take vitamin supplements, thinking it might help you achieve your exercise endurance and fitness goals? It might be time to rethink this practice. A new study shows some vitamins and supplements may actually interfere with the health benefits of exercise. Find out more.
Your body responds to endurance training in a number of ways. It makes adaptations that give you greater exercise endurance and a more efficient cardiovascular system. Find out more about adaptations to endurance exercise and discover six things that exercise increases.
Are your fitness goals conflicting? Are you unknowingly making it harder to meet your goals by the type of exercise you’re doing? If you’re trying to build lean body mass, doing extra long periods of steady-state cardio may be sending the wrong signals to your muscles and making it difficult for them to grow. Find out why.
Whether you’re trying to build lean body mass, strength or endurance, there are certain principles that impact the results you get. Understanding these principles will help you train in a way that maximizes the results you get. Find out more about the three principles of fitness training.
Not everyone responds the same to exercise. Some people see visible results faster than others. People who have more of an ectomorphic body type have to work harder and take in more calories to build muscle. On the other hand, mesomorphs gain muscle definition quickly. What about endurance exercise? Just as there are differences in how quickly people can build lean body mass, there are variations in individual responses to cardiovascular exercise.
Individuals vary a great deal in their muscle strength before training and in their capacity to build greater muscle strength through training. Why is this?
Are you training to build muscle strength or muscle endurance? There are two ways you can train muscles and each will give you a different result
Still getting your protein from protein bars and shakes? There’s a better way. Studies show that eggs are a quality source of protein that the body can readily use to build muscle. Find out more about eggs, and why they’re better than many other sources of protein for athletes.
