Tips to change your body composition for the aging Female Athlete
Why is it challenging for female athletes over 40 years old to burn fat, get faster and stronger? Instead of blaming the aging process and our low hormones -we need to change HOW we train and HOW we fuel for exercise as aging female athletes.
Let's dive into the reserach the Dr. Stacy Sims is sharing. Sharing is caring.
Why do we need to incorporate high-intensity interval training (HIIT), sprint interval training (SIT), and resistance training into a fitness routine?
This approach aims to achieve specific health benefits related to blood glucose regulation and the interaction between skeletal muscle and visceral (deep abdominal) fat.
Let's break it down:
Shift to SIT and HIIT with Resistance Training:
Systemic Effect on Blood Glucose Homeostasis:
Increased Crosstalk via Exerkines:
Exerkines Downregulate Visceral Fat Storage:
In summary, the idea here is that a combination of high-intensity interval training, sprint interval training, and resistance training can have a positive systemic effect on blood sugar regulation. Additionally, the release of certain signaling molecules from muscles during exercise may help reduce the storage of visceral fat, potentially contributing to improved metabolic health. This approach is often recommended for individuals looking to enhance their fitness and manage their weight and blood sugar levels effectively.
