Outdoor physical activity

Outdoor physical activity

Physical activity as such has many possibilities and variations. We made from meticulously designed training sessions free of physical exercise, I would point out that the fact that an activity is free, it means no further security parameters at both the cardiovascular, joint, physiological, etc … Any meeting of training and practice any physical activity that is conducted should be commensurate with the physical capacity that we have.

The physical activity outdoor physical activity can encompass many possibilities. From a race for a ride from one city to stroll through a park, a hiking route to a weekend or a bike ride. (more…)

Rectus abdominals: training

Rectus abdominals: training

The Rectus abdominals is one of the component parts with abdominal training. Training them get the so-called “chocolate bar” that both are fitness competitions.

To exercise them we rolled over, the back must be straight at all times on the floor or better yet on a mat.

The legs should be kept immobile at all times and heels must be supported on a bench or trellis. Place both hands on the neck and elbows have to keep open. Raise the trunk and back down. While exercising should not touch the floor with his back.

The climb and descend the trunk 10 times. Rest for 30 seconds and return to perform the routine of 10 repetitions. So when we finish the exercise we conducted three sets if not we have the habit of conducting exercises in gym. If we take a long time doing abdominal repetitions can be increased while maintaining the three series, a number that fluctuates between 20 and 40.

Breathing is also important to exercise. Air is inhaled and expelled by raising the same when it is performing the abdominal muscle flexion.

In both cases, the training focused on hitting the body out of balance so that the central nervous system (the organizer of muscle activity and whole body) would be forced to use more muscle fibers to complete the task this done.

This means that when using the Swiss-ball for crunches, for example, is not only forming the upright abdominal pack of six or six pack muscles but your brain is responsible for activating all the muscles that help him keep on the ball including internal and external obliques, the transverse abdominal, lumbar (lower back) and many other small but important muscles support your spine.

Once the central nervous system has learned to use all the additional muscle fibers (which may not necessarily be activated during the traditional training), you can put to use two other exercises and activities, as not only help to improve performance in the Swiss-ball crunch, but the Abs are the main beneficiaries.

Essentially, this means that the formation of the body in terms of stabilization and balance, leading to an overall increase in communication between the brain and muscles, which can lead to an increased ability to build and burn fat faster and with less recovery time, while increasing sporting skills with less risk of injury, something really important in any type of training.

Active recovery

Active recovery

Lower intensity exercise can be better than relaxing after a hard workout, would be the best way to encourage recovery.

However, research is beginning to find some advantages in active recovery, which refers to the achievement of low-intensity exercise after training.

There are two forms of active recovery, namely:

One is during the cooling phase, immediately after exertion or exercise hard.

The second form of active recovery includes the following days after an intense workout or training.

Research is growing on the benefits of both types of active recovery and a study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, found that active recovery immediately after an event, reduces muscle lactate levels faster.

After doing hard intervals on a muscle group fully rested, exercised a second group decreasing by 30 percent intensity.

The active reduces blood lactate levels more quickly and can achieve higher power throughout the training.

Just as another study found that the addition of low intensity exercise for the period of rest after hard training or competition is not reduced to an athlete’s physical recovery and in fact had positive effects on psychological recovery, improving relaxation.

A third study found that active recovery encourages the elimination of lactic acid, which speeds recovery.

The general theory is that lowering the intensity of activity, helps blood circulation, which in turn helps to remove lactic acid from muscle.

Myofascial pain syndrome (muscular pain)

Myofascial pain syndrome (muscular pain)

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is an elegant way to describe muscle pain, therefore refers to pain and inflammation in soft tissues of the body.

Myofascial pain is a chronic condition that affects the fascia (tissue that covers the muscles) and myofascial pain syndrome may involve a single muscle or muscle group.

In some cases, the area in which a person experiences pain is not necessarily the latter that generates the myofascial pain, as experts believe the site of injury or tension that drives the development of a trigger point and its both cause pain in other areas, this situation is known as referred pain.

What causes myofascial pain? Myofascial pain may develop from a muscle injury or an overload to a muscle or group of muscles, ligaments or tendons.

Other causes include:

* Injury to an inter-vertebral disc.

* General fatigue.

* Repetitive movements.

* Medical conditions (including heart attack, stomach irritation). (more…)
