Walking is more effective than intensive workout

Perhaps many people who are just "walk" in the sport, standing with a dilemma: what kind of workout to choose and which exercises would be most effective for them. First of all individually and in certain situations, the best advice can give you specialist. In general cases, however, low-intensity exercise, such as walking, appear to be the best choice for training.

Researchers found that long periods of walking can be more effective than high-intensity workouts. Low intensity exercise improves insulin sensitivity and lipid levels in the blood, which prevents you from diabetes and obesity.


Researchers from Maastrahitskiya University in the Netherlands made ​​an experiment. They divided 18 young people aged between 19 and 24 years in the three groups. The first group does not do anything for 14 hours, and the second group trained intensively only from the 13th to the 14th hour.

Is it effective treatment with cold water?

Taking a 20 minute cold bath after exercise sounds more like a punishment than a relief for muscles. Fact: many athletes rely on therapy with cold water to relieve painful muscles after a workout.
Scientists question the efficacy of therapy.


 A cold water bath, also known as cryotherapy, is a therapy which takes from 5 to 20 minutes at a water temperature of 10-15 degrees Celsius. In most studies, all the time spent in the bath, but in some rare cases be allowed the participants to come out of the water.

Researchers found that the bath with cold water reduces muscle pain by 20% and recommend them than to relax or do nothing after a workout. The only effect of the therapy is that
released the musclefrom pain. Therapy does not make muscles stronger.


Leading researcher at the University of Ulsar Dr. Chris Kleykli said: "Immersion in cold water lowers the shock in the body. Need to make sure that people are not exposed to harmful therapies, submerged in cold water for a long time. Take into account that these studies were conducted with experienced athletes.

 Treatment with cold water should be avoided by people with heart or circulatory problems. Into consideration must be taken and water quality. Hardly anyone wants to sit in water, which previously sat another 15 sweaty men with wounds and scratches on the legs.

Based on these arguments, athletes are in danger when trained in polluted air. New research shows conflicting results.
 


Air pollution increases inflammatory processes and subjected lung of stress which increases the risk of death. Aerobic exercise reduces inflammatory processes and stress. So a dispute arose whether the benefits of exercise outweigh the risks that bring training in an environment with the air.
Once the tested mice for five weeks, the researchers found that mice that run in polluted air are less damaged by the mice in an environment where the air which does not run. Aerobic exercise reduces inflammatory processes in mice caused by polluted air.


We are not mice, so their results can hardly be true for humans. If you have respiratory or heart problems should check with your doctor when you exercise in an environment with polluted air. For everyone else, training with polluted air is recommended rather than sit back and relax.
