With balanced training, diet and stress control,
increased aerobic function, and a better brain, not only is muscle fatigue significantly reduced, but performance improves.
But there are other areas that you can also address: anything that reduces stress (better nutrition, better sleep, fewer chemicals around you) also
increases aerobic function, essentially making the aerobic system more «trainable.»

A 2012 study by the Montreal Heart Institute showed
aerobic exercise
increased cognitive
function.
Importantly, the host cell could have acquired, by the addition of the
aerobic function, an
increased output of ATP for cellular activities, leading to its improved selective advantage.
Older adults who do regular
aerobic exercise (at least three hours a week) show
increased blood flow to the brain, which could prevent a decline in brain
function, according to findings presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.
A 2014 study also found that hitting the gym can improve memory, since
aerobic exercise was linked to an
increased hippocampus, the area of the brain that controls memory
function.
Individuals in the
aerobic exercise group exhibited improved memory
function, when compared to their performance at the beginning of the research, an improvement related to the
increased size of the hippocampus.
And since the link between oxidative and non-oxidative pathways, and heart rate is mediated by hormone levels,
aerobic function isn't really going to be mediated by cardiovascular fitness: the hormonal changes that result in a reduction of oxidation and
increase in anaerobic
function occur at a very high heart rate reserve (long, long before your cardiovascular fitness maxes out).
By engaging the full spectrum of
aerobic muscle fibers, improvements in the heart and lungs,
increased circulation, and better brain
function also occur.
It will build the small
aerobic muscle fibers, promoting more fat - burning and
increasing circulation, both of which will help adrenal
function.
Aerobic exercise improves hippocampal
function and
increases BDNF in the serum of young adult males.
A study published by researchers at the University of Utah in 1996 was the first to demonstrate clearly the benefits of exercise for people with MS. Those patients who participated in an
aerobic exercise program had better cardiovascular fitness, improved strength, better bladder and bowel
function, less fatigue and depression, a more positive attitude, and
increased participation in social activities.
In addition to this recipe for cancer, physical, chemical and mental stress can
increase the hormone cortisol and sympathetic nervous system activity further impairing
aerobic function.
As part of complex metabolic mechanisms,
increased lactate can reduce
aerobic function and fat - burning, and
increases oxidative stress, and is associated with:
2, the
aerobic base has to develop a little more to accommodate the
increased functioning of the thermoregulatory system.
Fats also enhances immune
function, protects the liver, provides integrity to cell membranes, bolsters fertility and
increases aerobic capacity.
If you put insulin into the body to regulate blood sugar, those insulin levels aren't being regulated by other hormones (such as leptin, a hormone which
increases the usage of fats) whose co-
functioning heavily influences the
functioning of the
aerobic system.
Further investigation revealed that restricting feeding time to 8 - 12 hours a day, resulted in mice that had less body fat, improved muscle mass, decreased inflammation,
increased cardiovascular
function,
increased mitochondrial
function, higher levels of ketone body production,
increased cellular repair processes and anti-oxidant production, and
increased aerobic endurance.
So, when you «struggle» to burn fats, the preoccupation itself (and the mental stress it implies) may be
increasing your anaerobic
function from a psychological direction, and preventing you from developing your
aerobic system, burning fats, and losing weight.
Over the past 40 years, the consumption of junk food, mostly in the form of refined carbohydrates, has
increased dramatically, while fat and protein intake has remained almost the same.3 This dietary change alone has significantly reduced
aerobic function in millions of people, and
increased their risk for chronic illness.
I have been told that even with normally
functioning adrenals that we should never elevate our heart rates for more than two minutes at a time, meaning that any
aerobic exercise in excess of that would
increase cortisol production and all the problems that causes.
This is consistent with reports associating regular exercise with reduced incidence of dementia3 and several cancer types.26 - 28 Potential reasons for improved functional status and survival among regular exercisers may include
increased cardiovascular fitness and improved
aerobic capacity and organ reserve,29 - 31
increases in skeletal mass and metabolic adaptations of muscle with decreased frailty,29 - 31 lower levels of circulating inflammatory markers, 32 improved response to vaccinations, 33 and improved higher - order cognitive
functions.34
Aerobic exercise has been shown to
increase brain volume and to improve memory, concentration and executive
function (complex thought and planning ability).
If the
function of antisocial behaviour is to
increase physiological arousal levels, then exposing antisocial individuals to functionally equivalent forms of arousing situations (e.g.
aerobic exercise) should result in a reduction in maladaptive behaviours.»
