Elimination of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by pre-resistance cardioacceleration before each set...
One critical element to your training regime is recovery. This is because muscle growth occurs when you are recovering from your training session. Here, Jay Bonaretti consider three research topics dealing with recovery to aid you in maximising your muscle development.
Get your heart racing...
Most of us see delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) as a natural and unavoidable part of exercising vigorously, returning to exercise after an injury, or upping the training level. However, a new study from California reveals that the severity and duration of DOMS could be significantly reduced using a technique known as ‘cardioacceleration’.
The idea behind cardioacceleration is that if you raise your heart rate to more than 60 per cent of your reserve heart rate (HRR — the difference between your maximum heart rate and your resting heart rate), the muscles get more blood perfusion, which can limit damage due to eccentric contractions. It also can speed recovery of muscles.
To test this hypothesis, researchers assigned 48 well-trained athletes to two groups: those who performed anaerobic resistance with cardioacceleration before each set (experimental group) and those who performed the same exercises in the same order but with no cardioacceleration (control group). The subjects trained their whole bodies for nine-to-11 weeks, three times per week. Before each exercise set, those in the experimental group raised their heart rate to approximately 63.7 per cent of their HRR. Control subjects attained an HRR of 33.5 per cent.
Participants’ heart rates were recorded, as was subsequent DOMS, using a self-reported scale called Borg’s Rating of Perceived Exertion. The results showed that DOMS was significantly less for those in the experimental group, and in both men and women, mean DOMS disappeared by the fourth training week in the experimental group, but not for the controls.
The conclusion is that raising your heart rate before each resistance training set may be useful in significantly reducing DOMS and help it to disappear sooner.

When it comes to losing fat and building muscle, eating less food is not the answer to getting lean and cut. You already know that eating less slows your metabolism. Thousands of studies have shown that eating smaller meals more frequently cuts down on cravings, binges, low energy levels, endless suffering and hunger pangs. Dividing and conquering large helpings balances blood sugar levels, increases metabolism and burns fat like crazy.

The FITT principle is a simple set of rules for getting the most out of an exercise program. FITT is an acronym that stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type, each in relation to exercise. Each of these aspects of any workout program can be manipulated to increase physical fitness, get past plateaus in weight loss or strength, and prevent boredom. The four parts of the FITT principle work together for a comprehensive workout plan.

There are 1,440 minutes in every day. Schedule 30 of them for physical activity!
Regular exercise is a critical part of staying healthy. People who are active live longer and feel better. Exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight. It can delay or prevent diabetes, some cancers and heart problems.
Most adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity at least five days per week. Examples include walking briskly, mowing the lawn, dancing, swimming for recreation or bicycling. Stretching and weight training can also strengthen your body and improve your fitness level.
The key is to find the right exercise for you. If it is fun, you are more likely to stay motivated. You may want to walk with a friend, join a class or plan a group bike ride. If you've been inactive for awhile, use a sensible approach and start out slowly.

MARTIAL ARTS UPDATE
NOVEMBER 2011
Martial Arts are extensive systems of codified practices and traditions of combat practiced for a variety of reasons, including self-defense competitions, physical health and fitness, as well as mental and spiritual development.
The term Martial Art has become heavily associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, but was originally used in regard to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. An English fencing manual of 1639 used the term in reference specifically to the "Science and Art" of swordplay. The term is ultimately derived from Latin, martial arts being the Arts of Mars...
Some martial arts are considered 'traditional' and tied to an ethnic, cultural or religious background, while others are modern systems developed either by a founder or an association.
