Sentences with phrase «aerobic use of fats»

Most likely, your usual speed is derived from mostly aerobic use of sugar (which is the norm for efforts that last 2 - 60 minutes, since it creates more power but lasts far less than aerobic use of fats).

Not exact matches

«You use primarily your aerobic energy system while running — this energy system uses mainly fat [rather than carbs] as fuel, which means that you burn a lot of fat.

If you don't have a physically active job or aren't able to spend lots of time on your feet during the day, this intensity is important for training the body to use fat as a fuel, especially for individuals who compete in events lasting more than two hours.Although it will be difficult to keep your intensity low on these days, if you've decided that you have lots of time on your hands and the type of training you want to do is primarily aerobic (vs. interval based training), then performing your endurance efforts at a higher intensity than Zone 2 will reduce the effectiveness of your harder workouts on subsequent days by fatiguing muscle and depleting carbohydrate stores in fast - twitch muscle.

I have used a HRM on / off over the years and would appreciate thoughts on an article from the University of Michigan MedFitness group which suggests HIT first to consume glycogen stores followed by low intensity to consume fat in the aerobic range: http://umich.edu/~medfit/resistancetraining/timingiseverything101705.html

The solid aerobic base will continue tapping into fat (and sugar) and will be able to help use lactate as energy as well as continue to generate ATP through the presence of oxygen.

If a substantial part of your diet is fats, your body will have no choice but to use the aerobic system.

The idea of MAF is to develop your aerobic system in order to use more fat for fuel, for the reasons you mention.

Fat can only be used in the presence of oxygen, which is why aerobic exercise initially seems preferable for weight loss exercise programs.

When this happens, you have two options: you can either add more carbs to your diet plan or replace HIIT with a lower intensity form of aerobic cardio that uses fat as a fuel source.

Although recommended for GDM treatment, guidelines do not specify the type of physical activity or its timing in regards to meal intake.66 67 Aerobic and resistance exercise can be accomplished during pregnancy in the absence of contraindications, 68 but motivation, compliance, perceived health and lack of time appear to be major limiting factors.48 69 A recent review concluded that physical activity, both aerobic and resistance exercise, may improve glycaemic control and / or limit insulin use in women with GDM.70 Regular physical activity can also limit pregnancy weight gain, stabilise maternal mood and reduce fetal fat mass (FM) and physiological stress responses in the offspring.2Aerobic and resistance exercise can be accomplished during pregnancy in the absence of contraindications, 68 but motivation, compliance, perceived health and lack of time appear to be major limiting factors.48 69 A recent review concluded that physical activity, both aerobic and resistance exercise, may improve glycaemic control and / or limit insulin use in women with GDM.70 Regular physical activity can also limit pregnancy weight gain, stabilise maternal mood and reduce fetal fat mass (FM) and physiological stress responses in the offspring.2aerobic and resistance exercise, may improve glycaemic control and / or limit insulin use in women with GDM.70 Regular physical activity can also limit pregnancy weight gain, stabilise maternal mood and reduce fetal fat mass (FM) and physiological stress responses in the offspring.27 69 71
