Muscle freaks unite! Many readers know that this record is a direct relationship between knowledge and progress, the "why" and not just the "how" of change (although we can see that - as well). To achieve this goal, examine the preparations for a course of bastardized "comparable", as we like too big and powerful as our brothers reptile physiology.
E 'disturbing violent to the point. Nothing in nature can match the scene. Watching a big alligator eats the rear and an adultLeon near the edge of the water calls for a mixture of awe and respect. This is a demonstration of raw power. It 'a lesson in top-of-the-food chain, power and speed.
It 'interesting that the share of heavy lifting weight / power that - at least to some extent. Anaerobic processes with incredible to eat a large crocodile, and other predators also drive the performance of athletes.
But there's a price. Wants to find out what I'm saying? Let's take a quick tour of a discipline called "comparative physiology.(I promise to continue to focus on athletes and come to some practical conclusions.)
Through the knowledge of species extreme, it can really improve our performance. Is there a link between valid knowledge and success, so why not study the details of what nature has to offer? Before going to the edge of evolutionary specialization, however, one begins with hum drum people.
When it comes to physicality first, we humans do not seem much compared to other species. N. claws.Without teeth. No poison. We do not even know until the measure muscle mass and strength compared to, mountain gorillas for example, or even horses. Our muscles are the focus of this article, we will have a closer look at how little we have. Media (sitting) of adults and human children have approximately 50/50 fast compared to slow twitch muscle fibers. (1, 3) This is neither here nor there in terms of performance.
People usually have only a moderate amount of glycolytic capacity (for electricity) and a small number of mitochondria- The powers "aerobic" cells () for persistence. At first glance, the foreigner can also say observers, that we just do not know much of the council. Conclusions from the first glance, but it is bad policy - as we find them later.
But before examining how the apparent mediocrity of the human race really want to be his strength, we are certain biological extremes.
Birds, too ill to one end of the muscle of services, as a rule, forward to the scale of persistence.Imagine your client Pecs repeated for thousands of repetitions. Birds. To avoid fatigue, thanks to the capricious mitochondrial density and capillarization present in their flight muscles. (4, 7, 14) Everything was slow contraction, high aerobic, muscle fibers is well stocked an evolutionary adaptation, is carefully manufactured over eons. Imagine the feeling of fatigue is almost zero, after several contractions. Amazing.
If this is about the size, strength and power, but only modern birdsnot built to compete.
Small, slow-twitch, type I muscle fibers and oxidative processes, such as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle are, how quickly they ramp-up counter is limited to a challenge. (Even if the systems help aerobics, faster than once thought, during training, is not exclusive, sequential gearbox from an energy system to another, as many believe.) But there's more of avian slow like this .
Maybe we are "flying off the rails," with all the talk that the intramuscularMetabolism.
Why? Since the delivery of oxygen-rich blood is a limiting factor, regardless of what is happening in a specific muscle - at least for us humans. That is, a huge cell proliferation "oven" (mitochondrial matrix) only goes so far if the oxygen supply depends on several other factors. No oven or flame will be too light when they burn, placed under a glass, pinching off the air.
Similarly, a man we could use more "lines" (bloodVessels), in this context of what we can create more than resistance training. (Thinking for the clever way … for you freaks who care for muscle, the mitochondria, not as individual entities, there are bean-shaped, like many people, but as an array of interconnection, as I said in above.)
But back to the crocodile, so we?
Crocodiles are very different from birds and even humans.
Far from aerobic machines, these animals are often relatively inefficient anaerobicMetabolism. Here's a nice quote: "… the reptiles outperform their aerobic capacity with any exercise more intense than a slow walk" (2).
Niiice! This reminds me of my brother, the Yeti, the days when we were the only strength training and maybe getting too big, too fast.
Have you ever seen a seemingly ready to grab his knees and pants impotent after climbing a single flight of stairs? Now that the specificity of training'S!
Unfortunately for the crocodiles and gives huge amounts of energy(ATP)) is not "burn" a substrate, such as carbohydrates and fats in the TCA and electron transport system (in their mitochondria, rough. Yet, nature has found a way.
First, of course, creatine ATP system.
There's nothing like "raw power", even if only a few seconds. Then there is an increasing proportion of energy from the direct distribution of carbohydrates. Investing two ATP at the beginning of this process can generate four ATP anaerobically at the end "ofGlycolysis.
This is a worthwhile investment: two, four.
But there is a much more fascinating anaerobic glycolysis (and glycogenolysis). Oxygen will be condemned to anaerobic energy production can still ramp up to several times. (8, 19, 20) energy only now need to take a meal? You got it. Need to out-sprint and out muscle other animal? You got it. Coupled with the full capacity of the hole, the use of creatine phosphate and rummage (hydrolysis) of ATP, is now the true king ofJungle.
But now the hare in pepper. After his bizarre show of power are crocodiles around, panting all day. (2.13), lactic acid build-up is in their blood, would kill a human being. Wow. And all the hydrogen ions fly out the steps to create the burning glycolytic muscle metabolism, acid-arrest, which keeps the effort beam is very short. And 'the price of power.
Some of us, but chooses to power - at any cost.
After ten years of working withLadies and exercise physiologist, I am, I sometimes used my ribs, lower aerobic capacity (VO2max). My response is one of two forms. It may seem too aggressive and the other too vain, but here they are:
A.) "Would you rather be a hummingbird or an alligator on your side in a fight?" … ahh, food for thought … or
B.) "If you have not noticed, nobody can see your VO2max to".
Muscle building is solid and strong survival and social impacts. OfOf course, I never will be runners, swimmers and cyclists for the prank friendly, because we both know that I could define with precision and eat a half dozen of them. Although it took half an hour to recover. Just to keep this discussion to animals, is not it limited?
So there is the brief "Sprint" through a series of events the stadium. I hope I've whetted your appetite, I must rest and recover. Stay for part II, how to vote the crocodile.
