    You can improve your anaerobic conditioning by running up and down stairs or hills. When you complete these exercises, your body needs more oxygen than you can produce, so it depends on the calories that you have stored for energy. You want to fatigue your body through this process, as it allows your lactate threshold to improve. Once this threshold improves, you can sustain longer periods of intense exercise, making you a more effective hockey player. Some players run on the inside of the arena, going up and down every flight of stairs along the way. If that proves too difficult, begin by doing five sets of stairs per lap and work your way up.

  • Soccer is a game of many elements including strength, coordination, discipline, communication and speed. The ability to utilize explosive speed on the soccer field sets the best teams apart from everyone else.
  • An alternate start is a sprinting drill that requires you to run 10 to 20 yards at a time. It is designed to improve your explosive speed from different positions and actions that more closely mimic a soccer game.
  • A speed ladder is a piece of training equipment that you lay on the ground and run through to develop foot speed and coordination. The ladder is laid out over a short distance and consists of small squares that you must step in on each stride.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Adding resistance to your sprints helps build takeoff power in your legs for explosive speed down the field. You can add resistance by sprinting up a hill of about 30 degrees, or by using speed parachutes that follow behind you as you run. Parachutes are effective, but not always practical if you are training as a team.
  • Building speed for the defensive part of soccer is just as important as speed for offense. Practice sprinting backwards for short distances, using quick turns and crossovers along the way. This drill simulates an offensive player trying to dribble past you and will help you keep up during a game.

      It is interesting to see that Canada did not actually fit into any of the five categories that were presented to us in the article. Yes, the article was written a few years ago, so it maybe irrelevant. However, Canada not meeting any requirements, opens our eyes and let's us realize that no to long ago our health system wasn't as good as it could be now.

How To Help A Teenage Boy Put On Lean Weight & Mass | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • Putting on muscle mass is a long process that involves hard work and patience. To succeed, both exercise and nutrition must be considered. The National Strength and Conditioning Association reports that novice weightlifters can gain up to 1 lb. a week of muscle, while experienced weightlifters can gain up to half a pound of muscle each month.
  • Design a weightlifting program for him. MayoClinic.com recommends two or three workouts per week of at least 20 minutes each. To maximize his progress, he will need to increase the weights he uses gradually as well as the length and intensity of his workouts. Advanced weightlifters work out for an hour or more--as often as six days a week, according to the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
  • Lift weights yourself, and partner with him to encourage him to work hard. To motivate him, you will need to prove you are willing to work at least as hard as he does. If you are not in physical shape to act as his partner, find a suitable partner for him.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Feed him high portions of low-fat, healthy foods. Muscle mass cannot be gained without the fuel provided by food. To gain weight, he will need to consume more calories than he burns. To gain half a pound of muscle per week, he will need to eat 250 more calories more per day than he has been eating, according to exercise physiologist Joseph A. Chromiak.
  • Add protein to his diet. Select protein sources that are relatively non-fatty, such as baked fish and poultry, advises the Harvard School of Public Health.
  • Provide a dark and quiet sleep environment for him, and make sure he gets eight hours of sleep every night. It is during sleep that the body repairs damaged muscle tissue and builds muscle mass.

How Many Calories Should I Eat Per Day When Bulking? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

  • Daily calorie requirements depend a number of factors such as age, activity level and genetics, so each person may burn energy at a slightly different rate.
  • According to experts from Columbia University, research has shown that you should consume an additional 2,270 to 3,630 calories per week to build as much as a single pound of muscle during that time span. This equals about 500 additional calories per day. A typical 180-lb. male needing about 2,700 calories per day would therefore require at least 3,200 calories. Furthermore, an hour of intense weightlifting burns 500 calories. Added up, this same person may consume as much as 3,700 calories on lifting days just to properly bulk up.
  • Every day, a topflight athlete or bodybuilder needs approximately 0.68 to 0.9 g of protein per pound of body weight. Most people who want to build some muscle will probably settle for less than the high end but more than the 0.36 g recommended for the average person. Without the proper consumption of protein, the muscles may not grow at a rate that is in accord with the actual amount of growth facilitated by strength training sessions.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Carbohydrates are used to fuel muscle growth
  • . For this reason, an athlete or bodybuilder should consume 3 to 4.5 g of carbohydrates per pound of body weight. However, the high end is only for ultra-endurance athletes and unnecessary for building muscles.

  • Your primary goal will give you a general starting point for figuring out exactly how to balance your training, as well as what type of cardio and weight training you should be doing. In addition to your primary goal, you will also need to take into account two other major factors: Your Body Type - Are you naturally slim? Do you gain muscle easily? Do you tend to hold onto fat readily? The Type Of Cardio Training You're Doing - Is it high- intensity or low-intensity? Does it fatigue you for weights? Does your weight training fatigue you for your cardio?
  • If you're training to gain muscle, you will need to do less cardio training. Too much cardio can actually hamper your muscle gain by slowing recovery and burning up calories that your body needs for the process of building muscle. As a general guideline, one or two cardio sessions per week should be enough to maintain your cardiovascular conditioning and keep your bodyfat gains in check while not slowing muscle growth. You should train with weights at least three times per week, up to even six times if you can recover from it and still make progress.
  • The ectomorph is the naturally-slim person. They have a smaller bone-structure and can seem to "eat whatever they want and not gain an ounce."
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • The ectomorph has a fairly easy time losing fat so they will will generally not need to do as much cardio for fat loss. Two or three times per week should be plenty. An ectomorph trying to gain muscle may need to lay off cardio training completely in order to have enough recovery energy available for their body to even build muscle. Once or twice a week should be the maximum cardio frequency. Even weight training may need to be less frequent (two or three times per week) in order to see results
  • Moderate-intensity cardio training, such as jogging or swimming, will need to be done a little less frequently. This type of training requires more energy both to perfom and for your body to recover from. A person trying to lose fat can generally perform four to six moderate-intensity sessions per week at around 20 to 30 minutes each. A person trying to gain muscle should reduce this amount to two to three sessions per week.
  • This type of hard training should be done less frequently than the more moderate forms of cardio as it is much harder for your body to recover from. If you are training for fat loss, you should do at least two but no more than three high-intensity cardio sessions per week. If you are training for muscle gain, once or, at the most, twice per week should be the limit.
  • High-intensity training is extremely effective for fat loss as it not only causes you to burn a lot of calories during the activity, it also raises your metabolism for a long time after the activity is done.
  • This would mean an ectomorphic person looking for muscle gain and doing low-intensity cardio training could do cardio two days a week at a minimum to maintain cardio capacity while trying to gain muscle.
