Sport for the "lazy": one, two and - in the king!
The great English writer Oscar Wilde used to say that he would be ready to make any sacrifices in order to preserve his youth.
Except, however, for the need to get up early in the morning, diet and exercise ... gymnastics.
It is a pity that the author of "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" did not survive to this day.
Scientists have found that long and, worst of all, tedious exercise can be “packaged” into just one hour of exercise per week.
And with the same effect!
The main thing, however, is that these should be intensive classes on the principles of several approaches, informs the online edition of the London Daily Telegraph, citing research by the Norwegian expert in the field of exercise, Jan Helgerud.This specialist works at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
And now we know what excellent results Norwegian athletes are able to achieve.
Their Olympic team at the just-concluded 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver won 9 gold, 8 silver and 6 bronze medals for a total of 23, placing the Norwegians in fourth place in terms of total Olympic metal.
This means that Norwegian specialists are quite good at understanding the nuances of training their athletes.
Well, of course, everyone else would have a desire for that.
Recent studies have shown that even the elderly and those who have some health problems, not to mention, in general, healthy individuals, may well indulge in the developed methodology, eliminating the need to sweat from day to day in their gymnastic gyms....
The meaning of the "invention", which the developers compare with the "new" pill, which turns out to be two more effective than the old drug, is that it only takes a few minutes to work.Intensely.Then repeat the exercise.With no less intensity.
And so several times between approaches.
Dr. Helgerud actually recommends to interested parties four sets within 4 minutes at 3 minute intervals in between.
He is sure that such exercises are within the reach of many, not necessarily those who have already established themselves as an athlete.
In Britain and the United States, meanwhile, experts recommend that citizens devote two and a half hours a week to moderate exercise.
The Norwegian is convinced that this time can be drastically reduced by resorting to training with a breakdown into several approaches.
Immobility and complete lack of physical activity are what kills people, he emphasizes.
Intensive series-based training, the sports physiologist has learned, can help two to increase endurance and oxygen uptake while increasing strength by more than 10% and speed by at least 5%.
In addition, brief but intense (explosive) physical activity in a series of approaches helps the body to "build" and build stronger muscles, the Norwegian expert on sports improvement notes. casino utbetalning 15 min
