Specific climbing training. Pay attention!

Image
Possibly, given the proliferation of this sport and the greater number of climbers landing on the high level, it may have been anywhere near a foot of track, unknowingly, right next to some high-level climber ( Even of worldwide "size") without having noticed its presence, since nothing in particular indicates that the sea, until an eye (or hand) is put to his "tools of work": the hands and his fingers. At that moment, you can make the quick balance of the number of years that the above can lead by climbing and training by simple analysis of the thickness of the set (which may even "frighten"), making a small simile with the rings of a Trunk cut: The more you have, the more years and more years they have counted in life ..., although in this case they would be between prey. This differentiating element of the non-climber rest, is formed by hand and forearm, which constitute an indissoluble functional unit and, therefore, an understanding as a "pa...

FORCE TRAINING PART 1

Image
1. Anatomical adaptation (AA) The objective of the AA phase is the progressive adaptation of the muscles, and especially of the muscular insertions in the bones, in order to withstand with greater dacilidad loads heavier during the following phases of the training. Thus, blogging burden of training should increase without the athletes feeling discomfort. The simplest method is the force circuit, because it provides an organized structure and alternates the various muscles. CIRCUIT TRAINING This type of training can sometimes be used to develop cardiorespiratory endurance, as well as strength combinations during the Anatomical Adaptations phase. - Design of the program (example): 1. • Half squats • Push-ups • Mastered • Hip extensions • Small jumps with both legs • Strides 2. • Go upstairs • Abdominals with bent knees • Trunk elevations • Jumps to a bench and to the ground • Complete squats • Medicinal ball launches 3. • Press legs • Press banking • Inclined...

The world of climbing.

Hi guys! Today we will talk about a new sport for the blog that is getting many new adepts because of its difficulty, technique and high doses of adrenaline that are part of it. It is about climbing.

Speak about sports nutrition PART 1

Image
 Food composition: It is important to distinguish between food and nutrition. Food is called the act of providing the body with food and ingestion. It is a conscious and voluntary process, and therefore it is in our hands to modify it. Nutrition is understood as the set of physiological processes by which the body receives, transforms and uses the chemicals contained in food. It is an involuntary and unconscious process that depends on bodily processes such as digestion, absorption and transport of nutrients from food to tissue. To carry out all the processes that allow us to be alive, the human organism needs a continuous supply of materials that we must ingest: the nutrients. A first distinction can be made between the components of any food based on the quantities in which they are present: macronutrients (macro = large), which occupy the highest proportion of food, and micronutrients (micro = small) Which are only present in very small proportions. Macronutrients are th...

How do you start to train strength?

Image
FOUNDATION TRAINING FOUNDATIONS - Main theories: 1. Bodybuilding : they are primarily interested in getting an increase in muscle mass. They execute sets of 6 to 12 repetitions until exhaustion. Except for a few cases, increasing muscle mass is rarely beneficial for athletic performance. Since most of the sport movement is explosive, the slow contraction that is practiced in bodybuilding has limited its positive influence on other sports, while sports techniques are practiced with speed, bodybuilding leg extensions are three times slower And run at a speed of 600 milliseconds. 2. Weightlifting : exerted an important influence during the beginnings of the training of the force. Even today, many coaches and coaches continue to use traditional weightlifting movements such as laden weight and weight and strength, despite the fact that with these movements, agonist muscles or primary motors are rarely used. Mainly use in specific sports techniques. It is essential to make a careful as...

Premeditating climb training it's very important.

Image
Premeditating Training: It is important that each climber seeks the specific goal of a training day in relation to their planning. We should not think climbing on the climbing wall until we can not do it anymore and doing this in all of our workouts is the best way to train. Take into account the weaknesses: we must be objective and think what is our weak point (foot placement, lack of strength for small grips, I get bad blunders, lack resistance, etc.) we all have some weak point. Part of our planning should focus on correcting those weak points so that they stop being so, and not continue to train the aspects that are good for me, such as the climber who is very good at block steps but has no resistance and dedicates To train only block steps. The more beginner the climber is the more time should devote to training the technique. Variation of Sessions: always using the same guidelines, the same routes, the same places to train will lead to a rapid stagnation of our performance and ...

Kitesurf Training: Parts of the Body Involved

Image
Practising surf and other similar water sports requires a great component of balance and stability. We will have little strength and endurance if we do not get quick answers to the continuous changes of our center of gravity. To the specific training of these sports, it is necessary to develop physical attitudes towards balance and stability. These situations will achieve a greater stimulation of the sensory receptors of balance and an improvement in the intermuscular coordination. BODY PARTS INVOLVING -Scapulohumeral joint receives multitude of forces, it is necessary a work of force for the muscular groups that surround it. -Arms attempt to compensate for variations in the center of gravity by providing greater balance. -Grips perform continuous traction in which the flexor muscles work: forearms, biceps, posterior and dorsal deltoids. -Trunk muscles organize the pulling forces of the upper train together with those of the lower train. -Muscles of the legs ar...

These kites are powerful and fast, and their wind range is more reduced than in the “bow kites” ones. ·          - Hybrid kites: They have common elements from the ones mentioned above. Th...

What is a sport training?

Image
According to the elementary principles of adaptation of the human being to the external environment, in order for the organism to improve its physical performance, it is necessary that it faces new stimuli that provoke new reactions (adaptations). These stimuli constitute the training load. The burden of training is understood as the set of biological and psychological demands brought about by training activities. This means that the load has to be measured and evaluated in a double plane. The stimulus must be measured by its magnitude and characteristics. The magnitude is represented by the product of amplitude and the time of application of said amplitude. The application time results from the duration of each repetition multiplied by the number of total repetitions. 1. Volume: It should be expressed by the number of repetitions performed. The total number of repetitions depends on the number of exercises, the repetitions per set, the sets per session and the frequency of the ...

History of Kite-surf

Image
Even if kite-surfing is one of the newest sports of our time, its origins date back to the Ancient China. In fact, in the 12 th Century, in India and Indonesia kites were used in order to pull little boats. At the beginning of the 19 th Century, the British inventor George Pock registered a patent of a traction system with kites that worked with carriages and boats. His invention was a success and he won some prizes. His boats could navigate in bearings of less than 90 degrees against the wind. In November 1903, the American inventor Samuel Cody navigated across the English Channel by sailing across with kites. In 1970, Petel Powel invented the two-line kite, and he built a kite with a delta form that he used in order to navigate with small-boats. Then, in 1997, GIjsbertus Adrianus Panhuise registered the patent of a navigation system on a surfboat driven by a kind of parachute. Thanks to this, he is considered the father of the kite-surf. Finally, it is to mention that in ...

High-Performance Training with Ian Walsh

Image
Before winter, Walsh follows a really hard training program of six weeks which includes five extra-days where he only trains his breathing doing static apnea, holding the air as much as possible. In addition, he performs dives, he surfs and he goes to the gym every morning for 2 or 3 hours. Then, after lunch, he rides 60 kilometers on a bike. And, in some occasions, at the end of the day, he does some Pilates or Yoga when there aren’t big waves to be surfed. High-performance training has allowed Ian Walsh to face every wave, from the ones in Maui to the ones in Teahupoo, and he has received recognition for it. He has trained so hard, as you can see in the video below. In the video, you will find 5 basic exercises that may help you to improve some of the most important surf movements: rowing, diving, speed, rotation and equilibrium.
