Physical Benefits of Surfing

By -
As well as relaxing, surfing is an activity that combines aerobic and strengthening work. We have to row against the waves in the sea, so the cardiorespiratory function is improved, calories are burnt and the muscles in our arms and back work.
Moreover, surfing is an activity that strengthen our legs, gluteus and core, which is the middle part of our body. In the core, there are plenty of postural muscles which are used in order to stand in the surfboard while skipping the waves. 

Benefits Surfing for Life PDF

Surfing may be risky, but it’s worth it. Surfing gives us the opportunity of experience an incredible moment on the board, something magical that everyone should live. Besides, surfing has beneficial effects in our muscles which are evident in a short term. We have to jump the big waves and stand in the surfboard; swim and stroke until we get the exact moment to stop, what gives us resistance, strength and improves coordination and equilibrium.

What is a sport training?

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 ...

FORCE TRAINING PART 1

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...

Do you want to know how muscles work?

Introducing video: How our muscles work Muscle contraction is produced by an interaction of the protein molecules of actin and myosin, which in turn occurs due to the sliding between thick and thin myofilaments, this sliding causes a decrease in the amplitude of band A and zone H. Calcium (Ca) is the link between excitement and contraction of a muscle. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is specialized for its storage and release of calcium through the T system. When a nerve signal arrives at the muscle cell, a release of calcium is initiated into the fluid surrounding the filaments from special storage vesicles in the reticulum Sarcoplasmic, when combined with troponin, initiates the elimination of an impediment for a potential interaction between the actin and myosin filaments. In any case, the tropomyosin, which in the resting muscle has turned off the active sites of actin, can now activate them; In turn the actin can activate the ATP hydrolysis of the myosin heads. This allows ...
