… “I can’t understand why my killing Boxer, training and interval training circuits and then during the fight comes to round 4 spompo“.

This is the problem of each master which gives training to old methodologies related more to traditions and to “do this because I was so” with a real knowledge of programming.

Unfortunately we are not all equal, indeed each instructor/trainer enhances the individuality and strengths of your athlete, while enhancing even those that are weak points.

Let’s understand, now, what are the reasons for the abnormal behavior of the Boxer took in; Boxing is a sport of situation can be classified as aerobic-anaerobic, divided into 3-minute rounds with prolonged exercise phases and stages of recovery.

Based on training, HIIT and circuit, has the distinction of developing a strong resistance to lactate, lactic acid continues to accumulate in the muscles and until is inhibited their oxidative capacity you can sustain an effort.  When unequal situation between production (high) and disposal (low) becomes unsustainable the mechanism of muscle contraction slows down to terminate and prevent the repetition of the gesture.

If there are training we can decrease the intensity and recover but if this happens in the race, we can say goodbye to victory.

So it makes sense to train only tolerate lactate? I need to change my workout? I have to try more breaks to recover or just the minute rest between rounds?

The correct question is: “how you are managing lactic acid”? The answer is very simple, I need oxygen and I available to create a very solid base of aerobic fitness. Mistakenly thought that anaerobic performance increase means improving those aerobic reflex, nothing true!!!! In fact it is exactly the opposite.

Why do I need to train the aerobic capacity? Because it is the only one able to increase cardiac output (through increased stroke volume), but also the number of mitochondria, oxidative enzymes, capillary density and buffering capacity. The larger this larger tank my ability that you have to use O2 in ri-conversion of lactate to glycogen (then in the production of atp = energy) and disposal of metabolic waste.

But then also improve aerobic power would make sense? My answer is Yes! Maximize Vo2max means you have more oxygen; to get a better idea let us imagine that in doing so it is possible to delay the entry of the anaerobic system and thereby delay the accumulation of lactate with all the benefits that this entails.

In conclusion, returning to our Boxer, to avoid spomparsi for you must first set up an aerobic workout and then move toward programming anaerobic training, just so I can push it and be certain to recover in the time available.

Now understand that at equal weight, technique and stamina lactate between two boxers who will have more chances to win will be one who possesses greater aerobic capacity. One last thing, know how to tell when your Boxer is aerobically unfit?? Misurategli the heart beats at rest, that is the first real test to be done!
