Allow you to add new and different activities to your exercise program. Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance There are many ways to improve muscular strength and endurance. Is it an emergency? Taking a drink or snack that delivers g of protein before strength training helps deliver amino acids to the working muscles.
Since blood flow is increased to these muscles, they will see more amino acids than the non-working muscles and this, together with the activation of mTORC1 by the strength training, will result in maximal strength gains. Also, adding a protein- and carbohydrate-rich meal soon after completing training around one hour will increase insulin and amino acids in the muscle, thus supporting the training session. Six to eight reps, performed properly, minimises the metabolic stress of the exercise.
Energy for less than 60 seconds can be supplied from muscle stores. Stored ATP, phosphocreatine and glucose can provide all of the energy required to work hard for less than a minute. Taking twice the active time ie, resting for around two minutes between sets to recover those stores will also help keep the metabolic stress low.
Use negatives: Negatives slow, lengthening contractions put the maximal load on the muscle for the minimal metabolic cost. Muscle is around 1. More importantly, muscle consumes much less ATP during lengthening contractions than it does during shortening contractions. This means that the body needs less ATP to lower a weight than to lift it. Besides that, we can handle a heavier weight with lengthening contractions. Most modern sports and games put a huge emphasis on developing both strength and endurance.
For almost 30 years, we have known that training for both is not as efficient as training for either one individually. As molecular exercise physiologists, we are beginning to understand why this is, and that we can use diet and intensity of exercise to create training programmes that will simultaneously improve both strength and endurance. However, even when applying the rules proposed here, the genetic limitations mean that training for both strength and endurance will never be as effective as training for either individually.
