Endurance Exercise Performance and Training Recommendataions for Masters Athletes
Manage episode 444245075 series 3600057
This episode examines endurance exercise performance in Masters athletes (35 years+), based on the paper "Endurance Exercise Performance in Masters Runners" published in New Studies in Athletics.
It explores the physiological factors contributing to the decline in performance with age, including decreased maximal oxygen consumption, lactate threshold velocity, and muscle mass. However, the article argues that exercise economy does not appear to be affected by age.
The paper then presents training recommendations for master athletes, focusing on the use of high-intensity interval training (DHIT) as a method for maintaining or improving performance, along with the importance of integrating strength training into a training programme. The authors emphasize the need for experienced coaches and evidence-based training methods to guide master athletes seeking to enhance their performance and health.
