Was Sie über HRV wissen müssen Bevor wir im Folgenden versuchen werden, Zahlen anzugeben, die Athleten und Interessierte an der Verbesserung ihrer Fitness für Vergleiche verwenden können, müssen wir vorab zwei Fragen klären: 1.

Plus, you’re only cheating yourself on potential gains if you aren’t properly warmed up.  If you’re going to take the t ..read more

We know triathletes and ultra-endurance runners, swimmers and cyclists are “different.” They lead a lifestyle that “normal” people mostly consider crazy. But there are more and more ultra-endurance (UE) races around the world, and more and more people are doing them. This global explosion of extreme endurance and adventure races is a phenomenon of our post-industrial, post-modernist and very comfortable Western world. Can any theory or concept of psychology, sociology or philosophy explain this passion for endurance sports? Not really, and definitely not from a long-term perspective. This trig ..read more

But why is this? And what can be done to minimize your risk? These are the two questions we’ll seek to answer in this arti ..read more
