General Training Principles
Specificity of Exercise
You must stress the cardiorespiratory system to produce adaptations in aerobic capacity
Resistance training is not a effective stimulus to produce significant increases in aerobic capacity
There is some transfer of capacity from one aerobic exercise mode to another, but it is not 100%
Swimming peak aerobic capacity in a trained swimmer will not be produced if swimmer runs, due to different muscle use pattern

“Training Target Intensity” by Talk Test
Can not speak comfortably
Comfortable speech is just barely possible
Breathing rate will increase with intensity of aerobic exercise. You should exercise at an intensity that is just below the level at which you can no longer speak comfortably (i.e. When comfortable speech is just barely possible you are at the correct exercise intensity) (1,2).

A 10 step OMNI Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE*) scale has been used to gauge exercise intensity, and relate that perceived intensity to aerobic work intensity (1). The interpretation of the 0-10 scale is aided by illustrations.
Example: For a male, a 68% of VO2 max training level corresponds to a RPE of 5 (see also next slide)
1. Utter AC . Validation of the Adult OMNI Scale of perceived exertion for walking/running exercise. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2004, 36:1776-80
*A widely used Borg RPE scale also exists, and the Utter 2004 article table 2 also relates that scale to % VO2 max. Dr. Chalmers has
found that some trainers prefer a 0-10 scale, such as the OMNI scale, to the Borg scale of 6-20.

“An APMHR of 85% or more and peak RPP of 25,000 or more were both ineffective in identifying patients who put forth a maximal exercise effort (ie, peak RER, ≥1.10). Perceived exertion was a significant indicator (P=.04) of patient exertion, with a threshold of 15 (6-20 scale) being an optimal cut point.” Exertion does not lie

“Heart rate by itself is not a very meaningful measure. It must be in context with other measures. Impossible to base training on heart rate, too many variables affect it. 99% of the time RPE is a great window into stress and adaptation.”

LSD (Long Slow Distance)Vern Gambetta Blog: Feb 7, 2012
“Long slow distance was a term coined to describe running at a steady pace to develop the aerobic base. Unfortunately as it evolved the emphasis was on SLOW. This is a huge mistake. The result was proficiency at running slow for a prolonged period. This has little carryover to racing, remember the goal of training is to prepare to race. The emphasis in this method should be on long steady distance. Select a degree of effort that allows the runner to run a steady effort for the duration of the distance with good running mechanics. This type of training needs to be a means to an end. Unfortunately for many runners it has become an end to itself.”

The New Science of Cardio January 27, 2009
Overview: Energy System Development (ESD) is the cardiovascular component of Core Performance training programs. The intensity of the workouts is broken up into three different heart rate zones.
How It Works Forget everything you currently believe about cardio work. Forget keeping your heart rate in some “fat-burning” zone. Forget plodding along with the vague goal of increasing the distance you can plod. Instead of training like a plow horse, start training like a thoroughbred.
You’ll only work at the same effort level for an extended period of time, as you would with traditional cardio exercise on regeneration or recovery days. But
you’re going to take the time you typically spend on cardio and develop the ability to perform at a more intense level. You’ll improve your energy levels, gaining physical strength and stamina without investing additional time.

Interval Training –The usefulness of interval
training for recreational athletes is now being explored…
Effects of high intensity training and continuous endurance training on aerobic capacity and body composition in recreationally active runners Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (2012) 11, 483-488
The aim of the study was to examine the effects of two different training programs (high-intensity-training vs. continuous endurance training) on aerobic power and body composition in recreationally active men and women and to test whether or not participants were able to complete a half marathon after the intervention period. Thirty-four recreational endurance runners were randomly assigned either to a Weekend-Group (WE, n = 17) or an After-Work-Group (AW, n = 17) for a 12 week-intervention period. WE weekly completed 2 h 30 min of continuous endurance running composed of 2 sessions on the weekend. In contrast, AW performed 4 30 min sessions of high intensity training and an additional 30 min endurance run weekly, always after
work.
…….
Only the improvements of VO2 peak were significantly greater in AW compared with WE. Both groups completed a half marathon with no significant differences in performance (p
= 0.63). Short, intensive endurance training sessions of about 30 min are effective in improving aerobic fitness in recreationally active runners

Current US guidelines recommend that most adults seek to engage in at least moderate-level exercise for ≥150 minutes a week (eg, 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week). Barlow and colleagues argue that their data support widespread prescription of higher doses of exercise even among low-risk adults. To date, though, there are no large-scale randomized trials supporting exercise recommendations. One small trial of sedentary obese women found that as little as 72 minutes of exercise per week could lead to potentially meaningful improvements in physical fitness. A large-scale observational study of >400 000 adults suggested that even as little as 15 minutes of exercise per day predicted a 14% reduction in risk
of death. Some of us worry that that people might misinterpret public health recommendations to mean that anything less than 150 minutes of exercise per week is of no value and therefore not worth pursuing at all. To add to the confusion, we now are aware of data suggesting that some adults might be harmed by exercise. It is critically important to avoid oversimplifications that overlook nuanced quantitative and qualitative issues:

Chalmers’ CONCLUSIONS:
• Less than current PA recommendations reduces risk of all-cause mortality (and so IS useful).
• Current PA recommendations may reduce risk of all-cause mortality further.
• Very high levels of PA may, or may not, increase risk compared to moderate exerciser.

WALKING VERSUS RUNNING?? Is longer duration + lower intensity the same FOR HEALTH as shorter duration higher intensity?

Do the standard exercise recommendations really work for our sedentary population?

FINDINGS… Time spent sitting was independently associated with total
mortality, regardless of physical activity level. This means:Even when adults meet physical activity guidelines, sitting for prolonged periods can compromise metabolic health and increase mortality.
Reduction of too much sitting, or too few breaks from sitting, should be included in physical activity and health guidelines.
Excess sitting should be considered a health hazard
Reduction in overall sedentary time is desirable.
Breaking up sedentary time, even without a reduction, is beneficial.

Spending more than four hours a day sitting more than doubles your risk of dying from or being hospitalized for heart disease, even for those who exercise more than two hours (!) per day.
Perhaps due to other unhealthy lifestyle factors associated with the sitting, or due to elevated inflammation resulting from the sitting (blood levels of C- reactive protein were elevated in the prolonged sitters).
