"Cardio Enthusiasts: Discover a More Effective Training Method for ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-02 02:22:02

It is common to hear fitness professionals and medical doctors prescribe low to moderate intensity aerobic training (cardio) to people who are trying to prevent heart disease or lose weight. Most often the recommendations constitute something along the lines of "perform 30-60 minutes of steady pace cardio 3-5 times per week maintaining your heart rate at a moderate level". Before you just give in to this popular belief and change state the "hamster on the go around" doing endless hours of boring cardio. I'd like you to consider some recent scientific research that indicates that steady walk endurance cardio work may not be all it's cracked up to be. First realize that our bodies are designed to perform physical activity in bursts of exertion followed by recovery or stop-and-go movement instead of steady state movement. Recent research is suggesting that physical variability is one of the most important aspects to consider in your training. This tendency can be seen throughout nature as all animals show stop-and-go communicate instead of steady state motion. In fact humans are the only creatures in nature that attempt to do "endurance" type physical activities. Most competitive sports (with the exception of endurance running or cycling) are also based on stop-and-go movement or short bursts of exertion followed by recovery. To examine an example of the different effects of endurance or steady state training versus stop-and-go training believe the physiques of marathoners versus sprinters. Most sprinters carry a physique that is very lean muscular and powerful looking while the typical dedicated marathoner is more often emaciated and sickly looking. Now which would you rather resemble? Another factor to keep in mind regarding the benefits of physical variability is the internal effect of various forms of exercise on our body. Scientists have known that excessive steady state endurance exercise (different for everyone but sometimes defined as greater than 60 minutes per session most days of the week) increases remove radical production in the body can degenerate joints reduces immune function causes muscle wasting and can cause a pro-inflammatory response in the be that can potentially bring about to chronic diseases. On the other hand highly variable cyclic training has been linked to increased anti-oxidant production in the body and an anti-inflammatory response a more efficient nitric oxide response (which can encourage a healthy cardiovascular system) and an increased metabolic rate response (which can assist with weight loss). Furthermore stabilise state endurance training only trains the heart at one specific heart rate range and doesn't train it to respond to various every day stressors. On the other transfer highly variable cyclic training teaches the heart to respond to and acquire from a variety of demands making it less likely to disappoint when you need it. Think about it this way -- apply that trains your heart to rapidly increase and rapidly decrease will make your heart more capable of handling everyday evince. evince can cause your blood pressure and heart rate to increase rapidly. Steady state jogging and other endurance training does not train your heart to be able to handle rapid changes in heart rate or blood pressure. The important aspect of variable cyclic training that makes it superior over steady state cardio is the recovery period in between bursts of exertion. That recovery period is crucially important for the body to elicit a healthy response to an exercise stimulus. Another benefit of variable cyclic training is that it is much more interesting and has lower drop-out rates than desire boring steady state cardio programs. To ingeminate some of the potential benefits of variable cyclic training compared to steady state endurance training are as follows: improved cardiovascular health increased anti-oxidant protection improved immune function reduced risk for joint wear and tear reduced muscle wasting increased residual metabolic evaluate following exercise and an increased capacity for the heart to handle life's every day stressors. There are many ways you can reap the benefits of stop-and-go or variable intensity physical training. One of the absolute most effective forms of variable intensity training to really reduce be fat and bring out serious muscular definition is performing wind sprints. Most competitive sports such as football basketball racquetball tennis hockey etc are naturally comprised of highly variable stop-and-go motion. In addition weight training naturally incorporates short bursts of exertion followed by recovery periods. High intensity interval training (varying between high and low intensity intervals on any piece of cardio equipment) is yet another training method that utilizes exertion and recovery periods. For example an interval training session on the treadmill could look something like this: Warm-up for 3-4 minutes at a fast walk or light jog;Interval 1 - run at 8.0 mi/hr for 1 minute;Interval 2 - walk at 4.0 mi/hr for 1.5 minutes;Interval 3 - run at 10.0 mi/hr for 1 minute;Interval 4 - walk at 4.0 mi/hr for 1.5 minutes;Repeat those 4 intervals 4 times for a very intense 20-minute workout.

Hypertension is a instruct caused by an change magnitude in the blood pressure. As the daub flows through daub vessels in the human body it exerts pressure against the walls of the vessels. As the heart contracts in its cycle of pumping daub daub pressure reaches its highest level. This is called systolic blood pressure. The blood pressure reaches its lowest point when the heart is at rest or is released. This is called diastolic daub pressure. Normal daub pressure is around 120/80 mm of Hg (Mercury) for a healthy person. There is no safe limit beyond normal. Any value other than normal should be a reason for taking compassionate. Neurogenic hypertension: it can be caused by strong stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. For example when a person becomes excited for any reason or at any measure during states of anxiety the sympathetic system becomes stimulated vasoconstriction occurs everywhere in the body and acute hypertension occurs. One of the most serious results of hypertension is a touch which results in the damage of brain. High blood pressure makes it difficult for blood vessels to function properly. The hit does not get proper nourishment by way of daub and oxygen. Blood coming with greater compel than normal physically hurts the sensitive inner walls of the arteries. A deposit of plaque forms more rapidly than in normal cases. The daub vessels lose their elasticity. To put it in layman’s language: ‘As the plumbing becomes rotten and defective a sudden choking occurs’. In this case the choking is that of the supply of blood. The patient suffers a stroke which can even be fatal. A stroke may not always kill. But once it has affected a person his ability to go think read write or to speak is greatly reduced. change surface if a touch does not occur a decrease in the supply of oxygen to the brain over a long period of measure affects intelligence clarity of thinking and weakness of memory.

If you are going to give-up smoking for good you first be the motivation to do it so read this enumerate carefully because these are the real reasons for deciding to forbid smoking.

"First Puff Can Turn Kids Into Smokers: Study" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 17:35:48

Just a single drag on a cigarette may draw a teen into smoking addiction a new study suggests. Researchers say almost a third of kids interviewed who tried smoking said their first cigarette brought them a feeling of relaxation -- and two-thirds of those kids went on to become smokers."This provides further give for the idea that dependence begins with the first cigarette," said chew over bring about author Dr. Joseph DiFranza a professor in the department of family medicine and community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. crowd. DiFranza's findings are reported in the October air of Pediatrics. Between 2002 and 2006 the chew over authors tracked the smoking habits of 217 sixth-graders averaging 12 years of age who they recruited from six schools in Massachusetts. Nearly three-quarters of the children were non-Hispanic whites and all reported having inhaled a cigarette at least once. A total of 11 in-person. 20-minute interviews were conducted over the four-year chew over period. The teens also completed psychological evaluations while recounting their history of tobacco use. Tobacco-dependence was assessed based on such criteria as cravings compulsion to smoke changes in tolerance time devoted to the pursuit of smoking and an inability to quit. As well all the boys and girls were asked questions regarding basic personality traits attitudes and beliefs their social environment and involvement with their family and community. The result: Once a teen had tried cigarettes very little they did afterward impacted on whether they became addicted or not. Furthermore experiencing that feeling of being "relaxed" immediately after the first puff of a cigarette was the leading predictor of becoming dependent on cigarettes and then being unable to depart the researchers open. Almost 29 percent of youngsters interviewed said they had experienced such a feeling after their first cigarette. Just over 38 percent of the ever-smoking youngsters went on to develop a clinical dependence on cigarettes. Almost 67 percent of the participants who recalled being relaxed following their first inhale became dependent the researchers reported compared to 29 percent of those who experienced no such relaxation effect. Another factor that appeared to somewhat up the risk for dependence was having seen an ad with Joe Camel -- the Camel cigarette brand's mascot between 1987 and 1997 the chew over open. Psychological factors -- such as being depressed and having a novelty-seeking personality -- also boosted the likelihood of addiction. Post-inhale relaxation was the biggest risk factor for being unable to depart smoking the researchers added. In fact. 91 percent of teens who claimed such feelings also said they were unable to kick the habit. Overall almost 60 percent of the entire group of kids interviewed said they had lost their "autonomy," in terms of being able to forbid smoking. The findings suggest that the physiological addiction triggered by a first cigarette may be change surface more of a risk factor for smoking dependence than personality-driven factors according to the researchers. Based on the study results. DiFranza's team advocated an all-out ban on tobacco advertising to displace teens' likelihood of experimenting with cigarettes. More might also be done to ameliorate young people of the dangers of that first cigarette. DiFranza added."You've never seen a commercial on TV warning that you can get hooked from the first cigarette," he noted. "And to my knowledge this has not yet been taught in classrooms. This is not a message that we've ever used in our public health programs. So probably 99 percent of kids you asked probably evaluate it's safe to try it once. What could be the problem with that? But there is a big risk to even trying it just once. And that should be the message that we give to our kids."One expert said the study raises a few interesting questions."First. I wouldn't have expected that young people -- of all groups -- would experiment with cigarettes as a way to desire relaxation," said Joel Killen a professor in the department of medicine with the Stanford Prevention investigate bear on at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford. Calif. "I would think that as a social assort kids would tend to look for the opposite -- for stimulation," he said."There is also this ongoing conundrum concerning nicotine addiction that people have talked about for a long time," Killen said. "That is that a lot of smokers inform that they smoke for this relaxing effect -- an easing of their anxiety -- despite the fact that nicotine is actually a stimulant."However recent animal studies undergo suggested that the first few puffs of cigarette smoke do provoke a physiological reaction akin to relaxation but it is a transient feeling that occurs before stimulation kicks in. Killen said. Does this convey that teens might in fact be attracted to cigarettes for that relaxation-stimulation effect?"To my knowledge this challenge has yet to be studied in humans," Killen responded. "So it remains a paradox."More information: For more on teen smoking visit the. Disclaimer: The text presented on these pages contained within Heart Smart Advice is for your information only.
