Winter training, have you heard of it?

During winter training, the body temperature of the human body does not rise significantly in long-distance running at a low temperature, which is conducive to the growth of cell mitochondria, which is the best period for training aerobic endurance. "Winter training 39" is not a cliché, and the effect of long-distance aerobic training at this time is incomparable with the long-term benefits.

A person's ability to run depends on three aspects: cardiorespiratory function, aerobic metabolism, and neural excitability tolerance.

1 Cardiorespiratory function and nervous excitability are improved more effectively in speed training than aerobic training, 2 aerobic metabolic capacity determines the ultimate level of neuroexcitability and tolerance, 3 The key to improving aerobic metabolic capacity is the increase in the number and activity of mitochondria in muscle cells, and the best training method is long-distance aerobic jogging.

In this way, winter training determines the aerobic capacity after the beginning of spring, which in turn determines the ability of the nerves to tolerate it, and ultimately determines the control of the nervous system over the muscles of the whole body, including the ability of the heart to pump blood and deliver oxygen.

The body's consumption in colder air can be increased by about 3%-7%, and one of the metabolites of energy consumption is heat, which means that more energy is needed to maintain the runner's body temperature, which means that aerobic training in winter can get a higher fat conversion efficiency. This helps the central nervous system to establish conditioned reflexes in the process of lipolysis and the function of regulating body temperature is also enhanced.

Winter training, let's practice aerobic endurance.
