Module 7 ( slides 3 & 4) Flashcards
Why can long duration training be bad?
it can overwhelm the heart which can lead too
- acute volume overload
- inflammation
- thickening and stiffening of the heart muscle
- arterial calcification
- premature aging
What is Phidippides cardiomyopathy?
Refers to cardiomyopathic (abnormal changes) changes to the heart resulting from long periods of endurance training
a marathon is a example of what?
excessive exercise. Moderate exercise can improve health and longevity while excessive exercises can shorten life span.
by what factor does exercise reduce cardiovascular risk?
reduces CV risk by a factor of 3
what can TOO MUCH vigorous, long duration exercise do?
increase CV risk by a factor of 7
t or f, traditional exercise provides more gains in less than time than HIIT
false, HIIT does this
What exercise type induces both central and peripheral adaptations?
HIIT
True or false, HIIT improves fitness in those with coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, and middle age adults with metabolic syndrome.
True
how many more calories does HIIT training burn?
6-15% more. HIIT also produces a significant tolerance to glucose.
How is the human growth hormone and HIIT relates?
in one study it was found that HGH went up 450% 24 hours after HIIT training.
Furthermore, longer 20 second intervals produce more HGH than shorter 6 second intervals.
What does HGH do?
It can slow down the aging process
what biological influence is linked to HIIT
When healthy but inactive people use HIIT, it produces immediate changes in their DNA.
HIIT triggers mitochondrial biogenesis which is important for longevity and decreasing the risk of chronic disease.
Who should be cautious with HIIT training?
Those who have high BP, or have a history of strokes/ heart attacks. these ppl must consult a doctor first.
For people who may not be physically able to preform HIIT, what can they do?
They can preform light versions of HIIT. Shorter work time and longer rest time with body weight supported activities only.
how often should HIIT be done?
two times a week at most! However people do to 3 times a week, followed by a rest day.
The 2 times/week Tabata showed comparable benefits to the 4 time / week approach.
If doing more than 2 times a week of HIIT, what should you do?
Make sure each day focuses on different things. ex one day body weight circuit, one day bike, etc
What influences HIIT weekly frequency?
1) Work rest ratio
2) HIIT duration
Many different forms of HIIT exist ranging from duration of 3-20 minutes and with work rest ratios ranging from 2;1 to 1:4.
The longer the work period and the more anerobic lactic the work rest ratio is ( 1:3 or 1:4) the more imperative it is to…
only do HIIT twice a week not three times.
Traditional approach to cardio fit: what is the recommendation for workouts in a week?
3-4 moderate to vigorous intensity workouts per week. This leads to the best returns with the least risk.
Traditional approach to cardio fit: how would a 5th workout influence you?
a 5th workout produces insignificant gains (especially in V02 max) and increases risk of injury. It is only recommended if weight loss is desired.
