Most athletes and enthusiasts train predominantly in their sport
to improve performance. Which makes
sense right? If you want to run faster you must run. This principle is known as
the “SAID” principle and is descriptive of our body’s ability to develop and
adapt as a result of a specific training stress. Specific Adaptation to Imposed
Demand (SAID) in short means that if one cycles regularly, the body will
physiologically adapt to improve cycling performance. However, if the only type
of training your doing is specific, like running to improve run time, than you
are certainly missing out on many physiological adaptations that will improve
your overall ability. For example, incorporating yoga into your endurance
program can greatly reduce your risk of injury by increasing flexibility and
improving muscular imbalances. Another example is strength training to improve lactate threshold and muscular force which will improve run speed. P90X fitness classes in Boca Raton
focus on a wide range of physiological adaptations. If you are an endurance athlete,
expand your horizons to improve your performance and accelerate your goal
timeline.
Hirofumi Tanaka and Thomas Swensen from the University of Colorado
and Ithaca College , respectively, tackled the
impact of resistance training on endurance performance. They concluded that
although standard cause and effect for resistance training is an increase in
strength and anaerobic power, benefits are seen crossing over into the
endurance realm.
“…adding such a
program to an ongoing endurance regimen, including running or cycling,
increases both short and long term endurance capacity in sedentary and trained
individuals.”
P90X fitness classes in Boca Raton properly integrate the strength
component to compliment an aerobic based sport or activity. Altering strength
with cardiovascular days on a regular basis coerces the body into a dynamically
adaptive state. Take advantage of a P90X boot camp in Boca Raton . Classes run six (6) days per week
and workouts constantly change to maximize muscle confusion. If want to improve
your running or cycling performance, than you will definitely benefit from
doing P90X in Boca Raton .
