New biomedical research proves why everyone over 50 should be training for the Senior Games.
Research findings in 2002 show that we can liberate fat's most powerful body cutting, toning, anti-aging substance known to science, naturally, with specific types of exercise, and workouts necessary in training for most events Senior Games to do the job.
The American Heart Association recently cited research showing that high intensity exercise can significantly reduce the risk of disease heart. Simply, as exercise intensity goes up, the risk of heart disease decreases.
The researchers compared the impact of different levels of intensity of exercise on men with a mean age of 66 years. Subjects in the group of high intensity exercise produced a 31 percent risk reduction for heart disease, which was 14 percent better than those who performed less intense exercise.
"More it has … the greater the risk of heart disease, "says lead researcher Dr. I-Min Lee, associate professor at Harvard Medical School.
Exercise Anti-Aging
Anaerobic exercise (as opposed to aerobic exercise) involves short, high intensity sprint training rather than training endurance.
The researchers show that intense anaerobic workouts that include short-burst get-you-out-of-breath sprinting types of exercise provide large volumes of your body to release growth hormone (Impact of the intensity of acute exercise on pulsatile release of hormone growth in men, 2000, Pritzlaff).
That children, growth hormone (HGH) makes us grow, but when we reach our full height, this hormone actually changes roles. When we're adults, increasing HGH reduces body fat and trims inches. Growth hormone hormone actually becomes the "fitness" for the Middle-age and older adults.
New studies show that HGH can be increased almost 530 percent with the anaerobic exercise of sprinting, (The time course of response to human growth hormone and 6s 30s ergometer sprint, 2002, Stokes).
Sprint anaerobic workouts can involve many sports, including running, swimming, cycling, skiing, and all these posts are the Games events.
Whatever you do, do not do that!
Do not jump in, at ease in anaerobic exercise. Training Anaerobic fitness is clearly the most productive but also more dangerous. Tire hamstring are a painful potential injury, so flexibility training is essential to any scheme of fitness.
Everyone, especially those with heart problems or medical problems, the doctor should obtain permission before performing anaerobic exercise. Even young athletes should gradually ease in the intense anaerobic workouts.
Older people get results with less effort
When you see a man of 80 years has involved the management of a 10-K or working in the gym, do not think it is a pity can not run as fast or lift as much as his 60-year-old counterparts. It is easier for her to achieve greater intensity.
The American Heart Association study proves that exercise intensity is relative to a person's age and level of fitness. In other words, a person can achieve high levels of intensity with a level of effort that could be considered low for a young athlete.
The new study confirms the need for higher intensities, but also shows that beginners and seniors to more productive levels of exercise intensity with less effort than a triathlete, for example.
Newcomers a high-intensity exercise in May first obtain great results by making training for walking anaerobic power, but a fine-tuned triathlete may need more work for the same results.
If you are over 50 years, obtain permission first physician, select a Senior Games event or two and start with a program of gradual accumulation of training.
