Exercise Intensity During Olympic-Distance Triathlon in Well-Trained Age-Group Athletes: an Observational Study
sports Article Exercise Intensity during Olympic-Distance Triathlon in Well-Trained Age-Group Athletes: An Observational Study Atsushi Aoyagi 1 , Keisuke Ishikura 2 and Yoshiharu Nabekura 3,* 1 Graduate School of Comprehensive Human Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8574, Japan; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Management, Josai University, 1-1 Keyakidai, Sakado, Saitama 350-0295, Japan; [email protected] 3 Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Tsukuba, 1-1-1 Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8574, Japan * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this study was to examine the exercise intensity during the swimming, cy- cling, and running legs of nondraft legal, Olympic-distance triathlons in well-trained, age-group triathletes. Seventeen male triathletes completed incremental swimming, cycling, and running tests to exhaustion. Heart rate (HR) and workload corresponding to aerobic and anaerobic thresholds, maximal workloads, and maximal HR (HRmax) in each exercise mode were analyzed. HR and workload were monitored throughout the race. The intensity distributions in three HR zones for each discipline and five workload zones in cycling and running were quantified. The subjects were then assigned to a fast or slow group based on the total race time (range, 2 h 07 min–2 h 41 min). The mean percentages of HRmax in the swimming, cycling, and running legs were 89.8% ± 3.7%, 91.1% ± 4.4%, and 90.7% ± 5.1%, respectively, for all participants. The mean percentage of HRmax and intensity distributions during the swimming and cycling legs were similar between groups. -

Strength Training
Ultimate Frisbee Workout Guide Intro Why You Need This Guide Many ultimate players aren’t getting the best results from their workouts. Often simply because they’ve gotten stuck doing the same things they did in high school. Or perhaps they’ve bought into a popular general fitness plan because the marketing makes it seem reasonable enough. If you think that might be you, then the great news is you’ve likely got loads of untapped athletic potential waiting to be unleashed on the frisbee field. Even if you’re already pretty experienced in working out, even if you’re experienced in the weight room, there is still more potential in you to become faster and jump higher than you realize. I know this is true because I’ve seen it happen for hundreds of ultimate players, and I’d like it to happen for you too. That’s what this guide is all about. I’m going to help you understand the principles behind athletic adaptation so that you design an ultimate frisbee training schedule that WORKS. Best of all, this does not require hours and hours of running. In fact, some of the ultimate frisbee workouts you’ll be doing are likely easier than what you’re doing now. If you like the idea of training smarter so you can get more results in less training time, then this guide is for you. www.TheUAP.com Who am I? I’m Melissa Witmer, creator of The Ultimate Athlete Project’s Strength and Conditioning program. I’ve traveled all over the world coaching players on how to train more efficiently for ultimate. -
Level 2 Chapter 5 – General Fitness Training
5 General Fitness Training 5.1 Introduction Fitness may be defined as the successful adaptation to mental and physical stress encountered in life. General Fitness Training may be defined as a scientifically-based and systematic training programme to provide the athlete with the basic means to adapt to the physical load encountered through controlled exercise. Adaptation begins by subjecting the body to a physical load through controlled exercise. Subjecting the body to a sufficient level of physical activity, to cause fatigue, provides the load on the body. After the body has had an opportunity to recover by resting, the body will adapt to this load. The adaptation will now allow the body to be subjected to the same load without becoming fatigued. 5.2 Main features of sport training Goal-oriented Training should always be aimed at achieving an increased individual performance level. Group training Although training is an individual matter, training in groups is more economical and provides the necessary emotional support for mobilising performance potential. Effective training A training programme that provides for increasing physical demands on the athlete will be more effective in developing the athlete’s fitness level. Systematic training A training programme must be orderly in method or planning. Scientific training A training programme must be based on scientific principles. Role of the coach The coach’s responsibility is to assist the athlete in all aspects and forms of training. 5.3 Main features of general fitness training Mobility The first consideration in examining general fitness training is mobility. Mobility is defined as the capacity of joints and joint chains for flexion and extension. -

Experts estimate that by 2025 more than 25% of the population in the United States and Canada will be age 65 or older. (Taylor, 2008) As we age—I’m in my 60s and know from experience—cardiovascular capacity, endurance, strength and power all decline. -

The Modern State of Health and Fitness • The focus on scientific principles makes NASM’s systems and methodologies safe and effective for any client working toward any fitness goal. • NASM recommends that all fitness professionals maintain a focus on an evidence-based practice to attain the highest levels of success. • Evidence-based practice is the conscientious use of current best evidence in making decisions about patient or client care. • NASM’s proprietary approach to exercise training, the OPT model, was developed with evidence-based practice as a core guiding philosophy. • Acute disease is any suddenly occurring medical condition that can be treated and healed in a short period of time. • A chronic disease is a medical condition that persists without quickly going away or being cured altogether. • The terms overweight and obesity refer to a body weight that is greater than what is considered normal or healthy for a certain height, specifically due to excess body fat. • Being overweight or obese greatly increase the chances of developing a chronic disease. • Cardiovascular disease is a broad term describing numerous problems of the heart and blood vessels, including stroke, heart attacks, heart failure, heart valve problems, and arrhythmias. • Hypertension is one of the primary risk factors for heart disease and stroke, which are the global leading causes of death. • Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the blood that is made up of a combination of protein and fatty acids. • Diabetes is a disease in which blood glucose levels are too high. -

Metabolic Training: Do We Really Need Cardio?
Metabolic Training: Do We Really Need Cardio? Mike Bracko, Ed.D., CSCS, FACSM [email protected] Trainers and our clients are obsessed with “Cardio, Cardio, Cardio.” There is a perception that MICT must be part of an exercise program in order to make training complete, to burn more calories, to lose more weight, or to be completely fit. With more high intensity interval training (HIIT) research studies being done and showing reduced skin folds, total body mass, fat mass, trunk fat, and fasting plasma insulin levels it is time to ask the question: Which type of exercise is better for fat loss – continuous or interval training? What do “the guidelines” say? American College of Sports Medicine - Moderate-intensity cardio exercise for ≥30 min/day ≥5 days/week for a total of ≥150 min/week. Vigorous-intensity cardio exercise for ≥20 min/day ≥3 days/week for total of ≥75 min/week. Or a combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity exercise. American Heart Association - 150 min/week moderate exercise or 75 min/week vigorous exercise (or combination of moderate and vigorous. 30 minutes a day, five times a week is an easy goal to remember. You will also experience benefits if you divide your time into 2 or 3 segments of 10 -15 minutes per day. American Diabetes Association - Exercise doesn't necessarily mean running a marathon or bench pressing 300 pounds. The goal is to get active and stay active . gardening to playing tennis to walking with friends. Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology - To achieve health benefits, adults 18-64 yrs should get at least 150 min’s moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity/week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more.
