Active recovery is the process of performing an exercise or movement
at a low intensity in order to increase blood flow and help the body clear the toxins associated with fatigue and muscle damage.
Let's define steady state cardio as any single mode exercise,
performed at low intensity, for a period of greater than 20 minutes.
With that said, you could use any other piece of cardio equipment providing you can do those intervals of high intensity followed by
recovery at a lower intensity.
Starting in the fifth week, the plan includes easy running days (you should
go at a low intensity, conversational pace), plus three key workouts.
It involves working out for a short period of time at a high intensity, followed by a short

The progression of warming up should
start at a low intensity and end with more increased specificity for individual athletes.
So while 60 % of the calories you burn come from
fat at a low intensity and only 35 % come from fat at a higher intensity, you burn more calories total at the higher intensity, which is the by far more important factor for weight loss.
Aerobic metabolism
occurs at lower intensities where our working muscles, organs and other systems are able to get all of the oxygen they need to meet their energy demands.
Personally I like to mix it up; when running, I sometimes jog around a park for a long period of

So the take - away message so far is this: across a wide variety of endurance sports, studies have shown that the best endurance athlete athletes are actually performing about 80 % of their training
volume at a low intensity and only about 20 % of their time training at a high intensity (15).
«The beauty lies in the simplicity to apply auditory
stimulation at low intensities — an approach that is both practical and ethical, if compared for example with electrical stimulation — and therefore portrays a straightforward tool for clinical settings to enhance sleep rhythms,» says coauthor Dr. Jan Born, of the University of Tübingen, in Germany.
«We had
collisions at low intensity recently, this is all part of the commissioning, we check that everything is working well, that the detectors are ready,» says Marsollier.
For artificial lighting throughout the museum, conservators chose novel bulbs that use ultraviolet LEDs rather than the standard blue ones, and different blends of light - emitting phosphors that better approximate natural light when
operated at the low intensity needed to avoid damaging fragile pigments.
People who say this are confused by the fact that training
at low intensities causes the body to use more fat than glycogen for fuel while you are exercising.
For beginners, or those who are unaccustomed to vigorous exercise, it is necessary to
begin at lower intensities in order to build a foundation of fitness before attempting very high - intensity work.
The energy
supply at this lower intensity level, in contrast to the alactic anaerobic and lactic anaerobic systems, which do not require oxygen, now becomes dependent on how efficiently oxygen can be delivered to, and processed by, your muscles.
It makes sense that sessions
completed at lower intensity or at the beginning of a training cycle are best suited for, or perhaps least disadvantaged by, [train low] strategies.
4) «Contrast» training - training the exact opposite of what your sport
