I've found that many assume that they're getting everything they need from their workouts from plenty
of low
level aerobic activity and a couple
of strength
training sessions each week.
In fact, according to an article by Dr. Mercola, lifting weights is not the only type
of exercise that can increase testosterone
levels:
aerobic exercise can do so as well (as long as it's
of the «HIIT», or High Intensity Interval
Training variety).
FASTER not only challenges the intensity
level but coupled with the increased rate
of oxidation yields a completely new paradigm for re-thinking how an athlete should approach their
aerobic training for energy substrate utilization:
One study showed that a 12 - week trial
of aerobic and resistance
training maintained current
levels of sexual activity in men undergoing ADT, while those who did not exercise had reduced sexual activity.

of aerobic training, you can now grab some

levels to your tower, and increase its height, putting you a little closer to your strength and power goals.
In Zone 5, lactic acid builds up quickly, so this intensity can not be sustained for long periods, but is useful for sustained surges
of up to around 5 minutes, as there is still some contribution from
aerobic energy systems.Because muscle and joint impact and lactic acid
levels become extremely high in this zone, this type
of training requires longer recovery periods between both workouts and intervals, especially in beginner athletes.
Developing
aerobic endurance means that you're
training your body to sustain some
level of activity for a prolonged period
of time, (typically 30 minutes if not much more), and you're utilizing fat as a fuel source rather than glucose (sugar) or some other energy source.
Likewise, you can't interval
train only without a regular active life and lower
level of aerobic activity most days
of the week.
From the article, «Researchers from South Africa found that a two - week exercise break was enough to offset the blood pressure benefits
of two weeks
of high - intensity interval
training; another 2015 study in the Journal
of Applied Physiology found that people who did an eight - month bout
of resistance and
aerobic exercise saw an improvement in the blood glucose
levels, but lost almost half
of these benefits after 14 days
of inactivity.»
Thanks for the info, I found 2 weeks ago, that I have a hard time
of burning fats... versus carbs during
training or maybe something else was going on (there was has been a change in my workouts from morning to evening too)... but I started eating 75g or so
of carbs at night (with same
training intensity,, mostly
aerobic with 2 days
of «speed») the following week my energy
levels were back to normal... not sure I do so well in ketogenic state or perhaps I wasn't as balanced as I should have been (carb, protein, fat) or my body just isn't acclimitized to those things yet (ketosis)... working on it though...
Aerobic energy systems
training that allows for a general
level of conditioning s the foundation for the other two energy systems.
Aerobic activity
trains the heart, lungs and cardiovascular system to process and deliver oxygen more quickly and efficiently to every part
of the body by elevating the heart rate during exercise to its target
level.
What I'd say is to do 1 day a week
of weight
training and focus on
aerobic mileage, keeping a sharp eye on your stress
levels.
And this is perhaps one
of the most important side - effects
of aerobic training: that you'll be able to keep a very high
level of athletic output at a low heart rate because
of the fact that when your body is burning mostly fats, its fat - supply / fat - burning systems are powerful enough that even near - exclusive fat - burning (with very little sugar) means that you have a lot
of energy.
Let me give you a brief summary: the
aerobic threshold is the highest
level of intensity at which the body can
train without triggering a stressed state.
Climb Mount Everest, do an Ironman triathlon, or do whatever reason you're doing this
aerobic exercise is so I wouldn't worry too much about something like low to normal hematocrit or hemoglobin
levels or low red blood cell size if you're kinda testing yourself in the midst
of your
training and it's not during a taper or a rest period, one would expect those numbers to kinda be higher up.
So, while it's hard for me to give you more advice without one - on - one info, I think it's unlikely that without a history
of high -
level aerobic training, you'd do «better» in terms
of health and fitness on a high - carb diet than on a low - carb diet.
That said, most healthy bodies that don't do a rigorous amount
of aerobic training tend to have a moderate
level of body fat.
To maintain this
level of conditioning we recommend a 90 - 120 minute

aerobic exercise
training combined with a dietary intervention in diabetic men reduced their CRP
levels [40].
The rule
of thumb in those who don't maintain high
level of training over time is that max
aerobic capacity appears to decline about 10 % per decade.
Sprint interval
training (SIT) is a type
of high - intensity interval
training that pushes beyond this
level to 100 % or more
of maximal
aerobic capacity, or an exertion
level of 10.
High - intensity interval
training is done at a submaximal
level; around 80 - 95 %
of maximal
aerobic capacity.
