Why do footballers need cardiovascular fitness?
If you have that endurance you will be able to run fast for longer.
What is a good representation of good cardiorespiratory fitness?
The gold standard measure of cardiorespiratory endurance is maximal aerobic power ( VO2max). It is the highest rate at which the person is able to consume oxygen during exhaustive, sustained exercise.
Why do athletes often have a lower pulse rate than non athletes?
Blood pressure is how the force of the blood that is being pumped out of your heart. An athlete has a lower heart rate because through exercise, they have a stronger heart; meaning that an athlete's heart can pump more blood and more oxygen out with one pump than a non-athlete's heart could.
What hormone increases metabolism?
In relation to "increase my metabolism", here are five excellent metabolism boosters.
Everyone is different, but the following program will work well for most people. It is a fat burning program that can be sustained until one's dotage. Therefore, you will be able to lose body fat AND keep it off indefinitely. After all, why lose body fat only to regain. I'll begin with eating and then move on to exercise. First, eat a meal about every 3 waking hours (5 or 6 meals per day). You will not be eating more food; you will simply be spreading it throughout the day. Each of those 5 or 6 feedings should contain at least 15 grams of unprocessed protein (from natural sources) for a female or at least 20 grams per feeding for a male. Second, eliminate processed (refined) carbohydrates from your diet. Processed (refined) carbohydrates have negative effects on health. They also slow down metabolism. When digested all carbohydrates turn into sugar, and sugar becomes fat. Therefore, think of eating carbohydrates as eating sugar and think of eating processed (refined) carbohydrates as eating concentrated sugar. Half way down this page, listed under the 'Increase My Metabolism Related Links,' you will find the full lists of foods that speed up metabolism and the lists of foods that slow down metabolism. If you want to lose body fat, allow yourself only 40 to 70 grams of carbohydrates daily. Get those carbohydrates from natural sources such as (preferably organic) fresh vegetables and low carbohydrate fruits. There is no minimum daily requirement for carbohydrates, but they do have many beneficial phytochemicals and fiber so eating some is fine. Third, drink plenty of water. Increase your intake daily until you are consuming at least 3 quarts daily--and one gallon daily would be better. Fourth, begin a program of mild fitness exercise (cardio). There are two relevant kinds of exercise, namely, cardio and strength training. To significantly increase metabolism you should do both cardio and strength training. Let's first look at cardio and then look at strength training. The best mild cardio is brisk walking. For example, today go for a walk at the best pace you can manage until you are comfortably tired. Note how far you walked. The day after tomorrow, go for another walk but increase the distance slightly. Continue walking every other day until you are walking 4 miles. Once you are able to do that, slightly increase your pace with each walk until you are walking those 4 miles in just under 1 hour every other day. This will burn many extra calories during an immediately after your walks. If you prefer, you may break your walks into two or more sessions during the same day. Fifth, begin a strength-training program to build lean muscle and increase metabolism. Lean muscle is a METABOLIC FURNACE that will burn extra calories 24 HOURS DAILY. Male or female, young or old, everyone can lose body fat this way. Work out twice a week, using as much weight as you can safely handle, and concentrate only on the basic exercises such as squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, and chins. For more about 'increase my metabolism,' plus the lists of foods to eat, the lists of foods to avoid, the free fat burning walking plans and free fat burning strength training workouts, see the three page links, half way down this page, listed under "Related Links."
More answers on how does the cardio vascular system work?
Pumps blood around the body, to supply the tissues with oxygen and nutrients and to transport waste products away from these tissues.
What are some cardio exercises?
- Jumping in place, jumping jacks, any other form of jumping jacks, marching in place with high knees and very quickly. There are many things you can do. Anything that gets you moving at a good pace is cardio. You can pretend jump rope or if you have enough room you can actually jump rope.
- Turn on music and dance to it and keep moving. Do some moves with your arms overhead (Y.M.C.A.!) Skip, jump, hop on one foot.
- Assuming you have enough space to lie down, stand up and move your arms and legs freely, you can have a great cardio workout in almost any space. The trick is to discipline yourself to not allow long periods of rest between exercises that will allow you heart rate to drop back down. Even actions as simple as sitting on the floor and standing quickly, safely though, can do the trick.
- Here are just some small space exercises that can be employed. Jumping Jacks Ski strides Torso twists Torso twist to toes Running in place High knees. Bend and Thrusts Push ups Mt. Climbers Leg Lifts Crunches Alt Crunches Bicycling on back Flutter kicks Flutter side kicks Dophin raises. Pick seven and do several reps, of each, very brief pauses, between, and focus on form and a steady pace.Just drink enough water.
- Jogging in place, ski master, cardio walking on a treadmill, gazell, or spar. There are a lot of things you can do in a small space.
- Brisk walking or jogging on a treadmill is excellent cardio exercise when done properly. For more information see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions
Why does expiratory reserve volume decrease during exercise?
This is the amount of oxygen that is reserved in your body while you work out. The more that you work out the more of a reserve volume your body will have.
How do you improve on the beep test?
A bleep test requires you to be able to run for a long period of time. So it is really common sense to exercise and train on being able to handle running for a long period of time. Training should include some long distance running, with shorter higher intensity runs over 1 mile or so. If you are eating unbalanced foods such as fats most of the time, then you may need to improve your diet and eat foods that will stimulate the body's energy. other wise your body will be run down easily. Eating foods such as fruits (5 a day), and eating fish, meats, eggs and so on will contribute towards eating healthy and also your body's energy level.
What activity makes you lose more weight?
The activity that makes you lose more weight depends on several factors such as your current weight, your fitness level, and your personal preferences. However, in general, activities that burn the most calories tend to be the most effective for weight loss.
Cardio exercises, such as running, swimming, cycling or brisk walking, are some of the most effective activities for weight loss because they burn a significant number of calories. These exercises can be done for long periods of time and can be adjusted to your fitness level by increasing or decreasing the intensity.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is also a highly effective way to burn calories and lose weight. This type of training alternates periods of intense exercise with periods of recovery, which can burn more calories in a shorter amount of time than steady-state cardio.
Strength training exercises such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises can also help you lose weight by increasing muscle mass which in turn increases metabolism and helps burn more calories.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to find an activity that you enjoy and that you can stick to, whether it be cardio, strength training or a combination of both. The key is to be consistent and make physical activity a regular part of your routine.

If you are very overweight what exercises can you do at home?
First off your body doesn't care much about what you do, but it cares a lot about how hard, and how long you go at it.
Everything that gets you equally sweaty and winded will burn pretty much the same amount of calories. Zumba, dancing, treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, walking up and down the stairs, jogging round the house/block, skipping rope, jumping jacks - they're all good.
But any serious attempt at weight loss has to start with controlling your eating. A snack that takes minutes to eat can take an hour to burn off, and then you're only back to square one for that day. You'd need to keep going for another hour to actually lose anything.
Why do you need stamina in basketball?
You DO need stamina. Swim more and stop and rest less.
When I was on swim team we did a lot of things that increased our stamina and our speed. Stamina comes first though and you can only do that by swimming more and pushing yourself harder. If you don't have stamina, you will probably not do good when you want to compete with someone of if you are in a competition.
What is the average numbers of miles American walk a day?
The average sedentary person (non-exerciser) may walk from 1,000 to 3,000 steps in a day, giving a range of somewhere between 365,000 to 1,095,000 steps in a year.
However, it depends on how much the person walks. :)
How can you increase your cardio-repiratory endurance?
Aerobic exercises is just a way of saying that you aren't working harder than your heart and lungs are able to keep up, so you're working out at a pace that you can keep up for some time. Basically, the 100 m dash isn't aerobic, the demands are so great that you're basically running on what's stored in your body. A marathon OTOH is too long to be run on stored oxygen, so you can only run on the rate that your luungs can deliver - so it's aerobic.

What is the best way to work out the latissimus dorsi?
The 'lats' are a great muscle to work on and should be highly considered when planning a workout regiment. The exercise that I recommend for the lats if the seated row. It's the most gentle on your shoulder girdle but doesn't give you as good a workout on your lats. The most common exercise would be the Lat Pull Down or the Palm Out pullup. I prefer the pull up but both are pretty tough of the shoulder joints.
Once you get a few pull ups under your belt, youtube the Kipping Pull Up. It will blast your lats and you will never do any other lat exercise again. It looks dorky but it's killer!
yes it really does work! it changed many peoples life and i have even lost a load of weight , size 14 to size 4 so i think it is fantastic it only took 4 months for this to happen .
Aerobic exercise is a style that developed over time. By definition it is any form of exercise that utilizes the large muscle groups, increases the heart rate and is sustained for a period of 20 minutes or more. Examples of aerobic exercises include jogging, biking, swimming, in-line skating and dancing. The goal is to improve cardiovascular function.
The Pilates Method is an anaerobic exercise that focuses on controlled precise movements that do not elevate the heart rate enough to be considered aerobic in the traditional sense. Pilates traditionally uses slow movements designed to improve the core, overall strength, tone and flexibiliy of the body. There are certain Pilates exercises that have aerobic qualities, but as a whole, the exercise method is anaerobic.

Why do you keep getting a pain in the left side like a stitch when you run?
The experts do not seem to know. Here are a couple of tips that may help. Unless you run just before breakfast, wait at least 2 hours after a meal before running. Though it is very important to drink plenty of water, do not drink a lot of water in the hour or two before a run. In addition, running on a regular, progressive schedule may help your body adjust to running better. If, while you are running, the side stitch disappears, it is really nothing to worry about. However, if it persists for a few minutes, unless your physician advises otherwise, stop running at least until it disappears.
How do you lose belly fat and gain muscle?
This will be very hard for you to do. If you want to gain muscle, you eat more calories to support growth. Losing fat is exactly the opposite, you reduce your caloric intake and stop growing, your body then uses stored calories to produce energy, and those stored calories were fat. So, you would want to do one first before you do the other.
How do you lose weight in one week?
Depends upon how much weight you'd want to lose. You would have to exercise a lot, and cut down a lot on eating.
However, that is NOT a healthy method. Doctors and dieticians recommend losing weight gradually, allowing a whole month for every 4 to 8 pounds you want to lose.
Do not starve yourself, or skip meals, or try throwing up.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Try to get plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (intense exercise may damage your joints). It isn't essential to join a gym; you can do sit-ups, pushups, dumbbell-lifting, jumping-jacks, and many other basic exercises at home. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too. Even for people who are not trying to lose weight, being active helps your digestion, your circulation, and other body processes.
Even more important than exercise, is avoiding junk foods and sweetened drinks such as soda. Try to avoid refined flour and pasta, processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat. Preferably consume no added sugar, and as little added salt as possible.
Our great-grandparents didn't have the epidemic of obesity we see today, because they had a less-sedentary lifestyle, a much more natural diet, and they ate reasonably-sized portions.
Eat 3 not-large-portioned meals per day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid sugary snacks. If you want a snack, try (for example) an apple or a handful of unsalted nuts.
Limit your calories (best to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself at the same time each day, 2-3 times per week. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your goal, increase your calorie intake somewhat, so that you can maintain your present weight. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular healthy foods. But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash-diets, fad diets, diet pills, etc. These may be harmful, and need not be considered by people who have adopted an otherwise healthy diet.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise.
Healthy nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories, in healthy forms (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
In general, an example of a healthy starting point could be a menu of whole-grain foods and bread, a good amount of vegetables, legumes, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats in not-large amounts, and some dairy. However, this may need adjusting according to one's lifestyle, age, health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also later, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one factor in adjusting one's food habits.
