I recently read a book from 1974 that really resonated with me. It was written by Eugen Avramoff and focused on the physiological problems that occur during stereotype or cyclic physical effort to both trained and untrained individuals. I found it to be a really insightful read and wanted to share some of the ideas I synthesized from it in
A large number of endurance athletes underwent testing in a laboratory that was specifically designed to precisely regulate and monitor the external workload, while also measuring various physiological responses, including oxygen consumption, ventilation, heart rate, and blood lactate levels. The study involved multiple endurance sports, such as cycling, cross-country skiing, rowing, and distance running, with the aim of comparing the
As an avid long-distance runner and swimmer, I have gained extensive knowledge about endurance sports over the years. Swimming, in particular, is an incredibly challenging sport due to the higher resistance of water compared to air.

Sprints are a highly effective exercise for building strength and muscle size, improving cardiovascular endurance, and burning calories. As compound power moves, sprints utilize a lot of energy and can stimulate hypertrophy and fat loss. In addition, sprints help develop performant, strong, and robust legs, glutes, and core muscles. The Art of Sprinting: A Biomechanical Symphony Imagine our muscles as
Scientific research suggests that optimal bodyweight workouts for leg development should incorporate squats, sprints, and their essential variations, such as stair sprints, hill sprints, frog jumps, box jumps, side launches, crouch walks, sumo squats, single-leg squats, and plyometric exercises, among others. My personal experience and outcomes support this claim. These compound bodyweight exercises provide the ideal blend for cultivating robust,
I started importing and recording all my runs with STRAVA, although there are many syncing issues between my smartwatch and phone’s app. However, it’s convenient only because many others utilize it too, and I can make my workouts a little more visible. But I won’t lie. It has a good looking interface too. I utilize at the moment for tracking
I am that kind of person or athlete who constantly searches for balance and longevity, whatever the sport I do. So whether I talk about athleticism, high-endurance, power and speed, or strictly about strength and muscle development, the key is always a balance between them all. Therefore, starting with this principle, and because I fancy a natural development of my
Trail running provides huge benefits over your body, mind and health. I came to realize it by observing the results I got and after a good period spent on running the mountain trails. Therefore, based on my experience, I offer ten reasons why you should start trail running right now: Trail Running Builds Muscles In order to stimulate the leg
