TRAINING GUIDELINES

Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual.

Listed among its benefits are:

• Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance)

• Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency

• Decreased risk of coronary heart disease

• Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight

• Delaying the physiological effects of age

• Reduction in stress, increase in self-confidence, etc.

There are several components of physical fitness and each is defined below.

STRENGTH

The capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed.

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

The capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the muscular endurance of your legs to carry you 10 km without stopping.

FLEXIBILITY

The range of motion of your joints. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness, and it provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness.

CARDIO-RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE

The most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs.

AEROBIC FITNESS

Is an exercise of relatively low intensity and long duration, which depends primarily on the aerobic energy system. Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic or energy-generating process. Many types of exercise are aerobic, and by definition are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time.

ANAEROBIC TRAINING

Is an exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism. This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long term energy demands. (For example, a 100 meter sprint.)

7

LK500IC V4

8

OXYGEN UPTAKE

The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased VO2 Max indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen, and of the muscles to take up oxygen.

THE TRAINING THRESHOLD

This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter.

OVERLOAD

This is where you exercise above your comfort level. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, the training threshold should rise. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important.

PROGRESSION

As you become more fit, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement.

SPECIFICS

Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

REVERSIBILITY

If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success.

WARM-UP

Every exercise program should start with a warm-up where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles group to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warm-up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise.

WARM DOWN OR COOL DOWN

This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly to the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles.

LK500IC V4

HEART RATE

As you exercise, your heart beat increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of an exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart.

Your initial level of fitness is important when developing an exercise program for you. When starting, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are more fit, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation.

To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side.

As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves. The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness.”

Rate 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65

Second

Beats per Minute 138 132 132 126 120 114 114 108 108

PULSE COUNT

The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers) is done for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate.

The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average with your fitness, you may work comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group. The following table is a guide.

Second

Beats

Rate 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you over exercise. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.

Two final comments: (1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it; (2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave to it.

MUSCLE SORENESS

For the first week or so, muscle soreness may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days.

If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced, or you have increased your program too rapidly.

If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling you something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor.

WHAT TO WEAR

Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair athletic shoes.

BREATHING DURING EXERCISE

Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles.

REST PERIODS

Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm-up stage again. The rest period required between exercises may vary from person to person.
