Physical activity against obesity

It is necessary to clarify concepts to better understand the possibilities of movement of human beings today.

Sports: running out on a competitive basis, in general, involves physical activity. The exception is Chess. The sport, regardless of the level of competition: Elite, Federated, School, Communal, Leagues, or recreational, involves a confrontation, and hence, an effort risky for adults and children in competitive training.
Physical activity: Any activity that involves movement, indifferent of the degree of effort, regularity, type and intent. It includes the activities of daily living.
Fitness: physical activity planned, deliberate, knowledge-based physiological and driving with an established planning, which contains the short, medium and long term.
About this clarification, and typical of the confusion, many people recommend the sport to sedentary adults, in columns of prestigious newspapers. Others, often ask: What is the most comprehensive sports?
The answer is that physical exercise should be scheduled to meet all the needs of the subject, in relation to the development of motor skills and physical qualities:
Resistance Aerobics .- General Linked to the development of central systems involved in the improvement of oxygen consumption (cardiovascular system, endocrine, nervous and others)
Aerobics .- Specific Resistance Linked to muscle capacity to oxidize nutrients (capillarity muscle, levels of myoglobin, mitochondrial space, oxidative enzymes)
general Anaerobic Resistance   .- Linked to the thickening of the walls of the heart, through a work of high pulsations, which influences the development of central systems.
 Specific Anaerobic Resistance  — Linked to muscle capacity to generate energy from glycolysis, lactification.
Maximum Force .-, endurance, speed.
Speed .-   reaction, segmental.
Flexibility .- Mobility articulate (ligaments) Muscular elongation.
It is true that to serve in Sports, we must develop each of these physical qualities to varying degrees depending on the sport or the role that is fulfilled in a particular sport but to sedentary adults who want to improve their status, if only for summer season, it is advisable to do physical exercise overseen by an expert on the subject, physical exercise for health and quality of life.

Exercise and sexuality

When talking about sexuality, it assumes a dimension that is inherent in human beings and that the realization of sexual life is a fundamental pillar of conducting general people’s lives.

This is not an issue at the earliest stages of life, childhood, puberty, youth but in adulthood, when sexual life has more relevance, begin to manifest early problems. Beyond the level of sex education, which has a direct impact on the level of satisfaction of relations established by the subject, what concerns us in this article, is the relationship between physical activity and sexuality. To address the problem, we must establish some concepts, starting with the man:
Erection .- The erection of the penis good filling depends on the blood of the corpora cavernosa of the penis, which is directly related to cardiovascular capacity, in turn related to the maintenance of the aerobic capacity of the subject. Erectile dysfunction can be functional and psychological causes.
The functional causes are:

 
-  Neurological Source
Vascular Source  
Endocrine Source
- penis Diseases 
- Use of some drugs
- Use of toxic substances including alcohol and snuff
- Diabetes
Excess cholesterol-(long term)
- Hypertension
The causes are prominent part of the Metabolic Syndrome, which in turn has its roots in physical inactivity and the solution in physical exercise.
As explicite earlier, a development of aerobic capacity allows normalize cardiovascular function, which is achieved with any practical aerobic (trotting, 6km/hora walk, bike and others, an intensity from 50 to 85% depending training prior percentages calculated with the formula Karvonen. The frequency must be at least three times a week, may take place every day.
Also exercising muscle located (body weight, using machines and weights, constitute an important contribution to preventing or overcoming the metabolic syndrome, improving glandular secretions (hormones), within which is secretion Testosterone, which is responsible for sexual desire. The sedentary lifestyle, excess body fat and alcohol intake, increase in man secretions of estrogen (female hormones). This muscular work, can be done two to three times a week, with variable charges depending on the level prior training.

In women, the biggest problem occurs at menopause, especially in the postmenopausal period, characterized by a lack of lubrication, atrophy of genital organs and the consequent loss of sexual desire. Physical exercise not only helps conbatir other ills associated with this period, such as excess body fat and loss of bone density, but also improves the secretion of sex hormones and with it the symptoms above.
Po Finally, the Taoist exercises, bring benefits to both genders, allowing longevity sexual desire and increased particularly in men, ejaculation control and prevention of prostate cancer, a disease for which traditional medicine has only early detection.
The psychological aspect, the stress is a factor in gravitante sexual dysfunction, both in men as in women, and Physical exercise effectively combat stress.

In short, perform physical exercise is synonymous with a fuller sex life

Hydrogym

There are many opportunities for physical exercise for health, contributing to maintaining different systems and equipment of the agency. Many adults, belonging to any particular population, attributable to physical inactivity, injury, age and others. Certainly the work in the water makes it easier to exercise, avoiding the risk of injury. Of the work on water, Hydrogym is most appropriate to not require a tácnica demanding in terms of psychomotor, step by record:
Hydrogym is a physical and recreational activity that takes place in the aquatic environment and therefore gives us all the benefits of this medium.

1. In conducting exercises in the water, the body is experiencing an apparent loss of weight which reduces tension and the impact on joints and tendons.

2. The regular practice of Hydrogym improvs various components of overall fitness:
– Aerobic capacity
– Muscle strength
– Muscle strength
– Flexibility
– Muscle composition

3. The exercises are dynamic features and are accompanied with music, hence, also involves the development of rhythm.

4. Water offers resistance serving as a weight or overload, with such resistance, we can strengthen muscles with or without implements.

5. Due to the lower effect of gravity on water, the joints can develop a greater range of motion, which makes the work more flexibility is gratifying.

6. The Hydrogym also offers benefits on the bones, move his arms and legs vigorously against the resistance of water helps to increase and / or maintain bone density.

7. The aquatic environment connects with men with their origins, offers tranquility in conducting exercises in the water. The person relaxes his mind and this benefits their emotional and psychological state.

Lastly, it is important to add the benefits of this practice for pregnant women because it gives all the benefits of physical exercise a mother and son in the natural environment of the fetus

Teacher training

With regard to the previous article, where I made a connection between physical education in our country and the high percentage of sedentary lifestyle, attributing to discrimination which has made teaching sports in different educational levels (especially terminals), the responsibility for that the product is the high degree of physical inactivity, I would like to add a reflection:

The primary school physical education in our country, a model for many others, I mean the Physically, yesterday at the University of Chile, today the UMCE, to train teachers (I belong to this training) puts the emphasis on teaching Sports.
When we were students at our school, we had to spend at least two semesters in each sport, mastering the techniques and teaching, and in some cases to study the history, global and national brands, along with specific tactics.
Clearly curriculum corresponds to the mesh of a technical sport, especially in the absence of content associated with the formation of an adult active in physical exercise for health and quality of life.
A few days ago, DEFDER, Department of Physical Education Sports and Recreation (physical) served 99 years and to celebrate, conducted an alumni dinner, a beautiful reunion. But the activity that dominated the attention (highlighted by TVN) was the award of “Great athletes” who have gone through the school. Among them, Richard Tormes (cycling), Oscar Wirt (footballer), Juvenal Olmos (footballer) and others. Draws attention two things:
The first, the winners were not for his teaching, a school teacher that way.
The second, the teacher who organized the event, although it has devoted part of his life to physical training high-performance, has also been devoted to teaching at the university level, and most importantly, he himself has maintained his health and quality of life, not doing physical exercise and sports.
We will be waiting to 100 years of the beloved institution, añorando a transformation in the mesh curriculum and train teachers by their intentions able to confront the real challenges of physical education today.

Physical exercise or sports

It is customary for the common people understand or confused by the same concepts as Sport and Physical exercise, given the great relationship that exists between the two, since most sports, involving physical exercise (the exception is the Chess), being the competition factor, the common pattern of individual expressions of Sport.
Following this line of thought, we can infer that the sport is not necessarily good for everyone, because not all people are good for Sport.
Thus, the sport will serve the best endowed in genetic terms, in the various aspects that demand competition: Resistance Force, speed, flexibility, coordination and other, within which we can not fail to mention the “will to compete. ”
Moreover, the teaching of sports in childhood, instantly reveals who are working and those who do not, producing a segregation, discrimination and determination towards the least equipped to carry out the activity, which affects the formation of habits essential for the adulthood.
The sedentary lifestyle in our country reach figures up to 90% in some cases, with the consequent impact on people’s health (Metabolic Syndrome, stress and others), causing a significant loss in Health budget for the country, taking warrants into account the situation and try to change behavior in children, adolescents and adults, developing the concept of physical exercise as a habit, understood in the same manner as understood dental hygiene.
In bring those responsible for the formation of habits, the first idea that arises is: The family, community and school. Taking into account that the formation of habits is by imitation, it is difficult to ask parents sedentary, nor the community that is formed by these same parents, therefore rests with the school the greatest responsibility.
Well, consider the possibility that physical education is to train these habits:
– First, not form the habit of daily or every other day, taking classes once a week.
– Secondly, there is no way habit making practices based on sports or games that discriminate by genetic capabilities.
– Thirdly, there is no way habit activities to be qualified, that instead of convincing the student, what oblige.
– Fourthly, there is no way to teach without habit that takes place every action (education or training to teach)
– Lastly, you educate the habit by example (students should at least see the physical education teacher training regularly).
On another point, the Sport with its competitiveness, does not provide for the formation of values such as diversity, tolerance, teamwork, cooperative, peace and integration, it is necessary to establish collective practices, and intentional directly related to these objectives ( Physical education for peace and integration).
Finally, the issue of sporting achievements that concerned both to the press, famous athletes and former presidential candidates campaigning, I think it is topic for another article. In any case the current approach has not brought great satisfaction to our country sports

ACROSPORT and ED. Physics

Traditionally, physical education has incorporated into its study and development, various disciplines, from the world of art, self-defense, sports and the circus, enriching the training of students.

Thus, the Acrosport, is an important discipline, which is available to us as an excellent tool, which involves the development of various aspects of practiacante:

* Development .- engine could be heading in the practice of artistic gymnastics and its objectives. Thus, we can develop the competition or practice recreation.

* The level of personal challenge .- Having circus aspects, makes it possible to move towards advanced practices, which are spectacular to the expectations and rewarding for the performers.

* Aspects valóricos .- This is a cooperative practice, which responds fully to the needs of integrating our society, to be accomplished in a mixed area, promotes gender mainstreaming.

The Acrosport, also known as “hand in hand” may be practiced from an early age, while respecting the difficulty levels and security indicated for each age and level of practice (experience).

Of course, the implementation required, is similar to that employed by the artistic gymnastics Soil, mattresses compact. His practice is recommended barefoot.

Atrévanse to incorporate it into their school, teach and learn from the very basic to the most complex, the couple enforceable in the group, a recreation of what it competitive.

HEART OF THE MONTH

Perhaps you’ve wondered why in Chile, August is the month of the heart, or perhaps why there is a month dedicated to heart and not spend one month to the pancreas, another to the lungs, liver to another, and another to the stomach. The reason is very simple: The leading cause of death in our country and the world are not coronary heart disease and coronary.
Greater importance charged warned that when the subject is no longer a disease that occurs most often in the elderly, by contrast, the highest incidence of myocardial infarction occurs after 35 years, at least as well as reveal recent studies. This should not constitute more surprised if we analyze the Cardiac Risk Factors (FRC) and meditate on those most at risk.

Sedentary lifestyle. While this could be an FRC affecting mostly adults and older adults, and young people are exposed since graduate of secondary education, ultimately delivering compulsory physical activity, a sedentary life. A small percentage continues to be active and / or sports, especially the early years of ED. Superior, to abandon the practice proportionally increases the burden of obligations and responsibilities of adulthood.

Stress. Undoubtedly this FRC is increasingly present in our life, being the University Selection the first major sign of pressure for our young people, which somehow starts with qualifications from First East. Today, life requires “success” at any cost, a situation that marks many young professionals.

Food habits. For quite some time already, was installed in our country, fast food (Scrap), rich in saturated fats, which eventually will produce atheroma, responsible for arterial blockages, therefore vascular accident. Unfortunately our youth are the most exposed to this pollution, foreign, “because many have been educated in this cultural context. However, it suggests a return to natural foods, in fields related to sports, fitness, conservation groups, naturalists, ideological and other groups.

Smoking. The cigarette contains addictive substances that also act as vasoconstrictor blood, with a propensity and myocardial ischemia in the smoker. Although this FRC occurs in all ages, young people are manifested in high levels of cigarette consumption. It is noteworthy that every day there is more awareness of the harms of smoking in the general population.

Obesity. The FRC affects different segments of the population and is independent of dietary habits as is often associated with other aspects such as metabolism, some dysfunction of the endocrine system, inheritance or another.

Drugs. They are important FRC each in varying degrees. It is necessary to appoint especially cocaine, Ecstasy and Viagra as the most used by the population. Antidepressants and barbiturates used without a prescription, also pose a risk.

Alcoholism. While moderate alcohol consumption has no significant impact on heart health, alcoholism led to an extreme, can produce a dilated cardiomyopathy, which consists of a loss of contractile ability of the heart muscle, accompanied by an increase in cavities. It is a disease of poor prognosis, which in some cases requires a transplant. The prolonged abstinence can reverse the situation.

Genetics. A chromosomal level there is a factor vasoconstrictor, while inhibiting the body’s vasodilators. Likewise, high cholesterol, may also be the result of some genetic factor.

We could go on listing cardiac risk factors, but certainly, exercise is the answer to combat each of these, helping to ward off the spectre of a heart attack, especially if already suffered one. The post-stroke therapies provide physical exercise since the first week of rehabilitation and suggest a change in lifestyle to avoid a repeat a situation as serious as this.
No doubt lies in our hands to reverse this reality and start thinking in August as a month or more simply as “the month of the cats”

AEROBOX AND HEALTH

The cardiovascular work, accompanied by music, seems to be in addition to efficient, entertaining. They are varied expressions on the subject, which would like to emphasize on this occasion, Aerobox, discipline which combines the techniques of Box, with handling the music, typical of the Aerobics.
Its practice is highly beneficial, especially in relation to work or aerobic localized muscle to involve a large number of muscles, which optimize the processes of oxidation of nutrients, raising the aerobic metabolism in each of them and therefore consumption oxygen.
Following this line of work, appear other disciplines, adding that the work of legs (kicking) from the world of Martial Arts. This element, in addition to demanding greater muscle strength, flexibility involves, what motivates the practitioner to work here too. Importantly, the non offers Aerobox risk to locomotor, to always maintain support in the soil (low impact).
Like other disciplines aerobic, its practice should be prescribed to control heart rate, according to the specific purpose by the practitioner.
From another angle, the practice of boxing techniques, often provide security, especially women, to produce a feeling of self-defense face assault.

So, I think this is a vindication of a beautiful discipline (Box), so often questioned by the damage produced by blows received in combat.

Many fitness gyms, which are delivering this activity, long ago. I invite you to try this practice, which surely will give them health, welfare and entertainment.

physical exercise and weight loss metabolism

We often hear talk to our friends, our co-workers and even the Metro, on recommendations for optimizing the practice of physical exercise, data that are often common sense rather than the outcome of the study’s physiological body exercise.

At the request of a dear friend, We will try to address some of these beliefs and their actual contribution or disadvantage 

Drinking water during exercise or immediately after counteracts the effect of burning fat.

Not one thing relates to another. What appears is a weight loss immediately to exercise resulting from the loss of water, liquid that is essential to recover. What is more advisable to hydrate before, during and after exercise.
The use of fat in the exercise depends on the method of training and improving the mechanisms of transport and use of fat, through this method. 

 Being sore after exercise is a sign that the exercise has been effective
It depends on the specific objective of the exercise. If pursued cardiovascular benefits, does not mean subjecting muscles to stressful situations, resulting in pain later (72 hours).

When it comes to bodybuilding, where, regardless of the ultimate goal is to produce increased muscle mass, back pain, is synonymous with increased pressure by increasing the amount of fluid interstitial to make proteins will help you achieve adaptation to training load. In this case is true.

stop breathing during exercise burns more fat (since it costs more)
Too fake, the oxygen that enters the body oxidizes fat, while more oxygen, aerobic system is more optimal and higher oxidative metabolism.

Engaging in plastic bags to exercise burns fat

It is not reccomended my experts   , increases fluid loss, and limits the time of execution, producing an increase in the viscosity of blood, slowed the delivery of oxygen to muscle cells. Moreover, the fluid lost to be recovered to avoid dehydration. Believing  that the weight is low during the early days of exercise corresponds to fat, which is being lost liquid.

The loss of fat requires an adaptation period of transport systems and oxidation of fat in muscle cells. If that makes the exercise is a sedentary, the early days it was difficult to lose fat, especially if they have some degree of obesity.

abdominal training  do not diminish the abdomen

Many times we talk about the abdomen to refer to the subcutaneous fat covering the abdominal muscles or muscle itself. If there is a significant percentage of fat, abdominal exercises alone will not reduce this percentage. It requires work of the RGA also low intensity and duration to reduce fat in general.

As we said in a previous article, exercising muscle high Intesa, in this case abdominal exercises, reduced fat, and although drawn directly from the adjacent deposits, Estonian recovered fat. Finally, insofar as it reduces the fat in general, decreases in the abdominal area. The specific locations where the highest percentage is deposited in the body, vary according to gender and biotype staff.

Do any exercise is always beneficial to health, without taking into account the type of person and if you have some sort of illness

In most cases, an exercise restraint and systematic *, is beneficial for most people, except a few diseases such as Type 1 diabetes, which requires some special recommendations, which can make a difference.

practicing step hardens and develops leg muscle

The work of Step, preferably used in lower limb (thighs and legs), a job that can last up to 45 minutes, therefore takes place in aerobic shape, using mainly red muscle fibers, which would increase their concentration and myoglobin mitochondrial its surface. These should not experiment hypertrophy, but tonic.

Making hip bending serves to the lower abdomen
The bending of the hip performed iliaca Psoas muscle, deep muscle, which needs to be elongated, because its shortening traction could forward the lumbar vertebrae. False, the muscle that it must work under the abdominal, with inflections from the bottom of the trunk, rather than the hip (Coxofemoral).

Practicing football weekend is good for your health, especially in people who are sedentary during the week, consume alcohol and snuff
It could be argued that exercising one day a week is better than nothing. This is acceptable only if we are talking about moderate exercise. In saying football, we are referring to a competitive activity, regardless of level, implies a requirement imposed by the speed of the ball and rival, in an atmosphere of tension-excitement. If there are pre cardiac risk factors, could detonate an accident cardio vascular.

Leave open this chapter of myths, to develop further from the comments of you.

Fat intake to high intensity

Traditionally it ids given greater importance to aerobic exercise in reducing body fat, hence, It is also attributed a key role in preventing metabolic diseases, attributed to physical inactivity.

However, studies in recent years, show that people begin to give increasing importance to the role of high-intensity exercise in the prevention of metabolic syndrome.

When we do exercises intense, short duration, where the process failed to provide aerobic phosphates used, although not spend fat during exercise, spend fat in the hours after exercise, bringing our resting metabolism, a process the interior of muscle cell, which can store fat around the mitochondria, facilitating their consumption.

The problem focuses on the implementation of programmes “high intensity” in sedentary people, whose fragility at joints, tendons and muscles, requires extreme caution, especially at beginning of year, after a long period of sedentary lifestyle.

Within this framework, there is a proposal (rmax) Professor Alejandro Prado, to implement very short sessions, training with loads close to 50%, making a series consisting of a high number of repetitions (executed very slowly) by muscle group, to stimulate in the first instance to the muscle cells of low threshold of arousal, exhaustion, and forcing the shoulder muscle cells to work high threshold of arousal, until, at about the minute’s work, a total fibre agotammiento muscle. This work ensures optimization of glucose metabolism in exercise and a big fat intake at rest.

The most interesting part of this, is the ability to do this work, at home with domestic routines, which applied every five days in a given muscle group, allows this group to remain active metabolically, ensuring health in adulthood.

In the next post, we will address exercises that can be done at home, without further implementation.
