OXYGEN UPTAKE

e eort 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 eect 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

is is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce signicant improvements in any

physical tness parameter.

OVERLOAD

is is where you exercise above your comfort level. e 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 tness level improves, the training threshold should rise. Working

through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important.

PROGRESSION

As you become more t, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore

provide continued improvement.

SPECIFICS

Dierent forms of exercise produce dierent results. e type of exercise that is carried out is specic

to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. ere is little transfer of the

eects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular tness. at is why it is important to

have an exercise program tailored to your specic needs.

REVERSIBILITY

If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benets 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 eort 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

is 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.
