![]() In other words, after we’ve sustained high-intensity activity for a couple of minutes, we tend to hit a “wall” that prevents us from maintaining that intensity without resting or decreasing the intensity of the activity.įor example, think about how long you can sprint for. This provides us with a faster source of ATP, but it comes with a major downside: we cannot rely on anaerobic energy systems for longer than about 2 minutes. To sustain high-intensity exercise (the type that makes you lose control of your breathing), we must elicit the help of the anaerobic energy systems to fuel the activity. However, your body cannot use the aerobic energy system to fuel high-intensity exercise because it cannot produce energy quickly enough. ![]() It produces far more ATP (the primary molecule that you derive energy from) than the other energy systems. ![]() Your aerobic energy system is what allows you to sustain exercise for longer than 2 minutes. In general, this type of exercise training refers to any type of activity that trains the aerobic energy system as opposed to the anaerobic energy system. Irrespective of where you do your training – in an expensive gym with a personal trainer, at home in front of a TV, or with YouTube video guides and dumbbells in your hands, your body is sure to show some obvious improvements.Įndurance training is the act of exercising in a way that increases the body’s ability to withstand activity for extended periods of time. Endurance training does not just build up your muscle mass and strength, it also provides unquestionable health benefits improving the overall way your body looks, feels and performs.
