Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Dear Johan, Important is the pace of production of ATPs and their expenditure. In endurance the speed of production is almost same as it's expenditure, that's why one can do it for longer period. No rest is required. But it is not so in weight training except circuit training or antagonist pairing, where there is automatic rest in between the sets for particular muscle. No rest is required in antagonist pairing also. Further moving antagonist help in fast removal of metabolites like lactic acid. And I think it should not hamper the ATP production. Would like to have comments on it by all. Ajai Tomar Khartoum, Sudan ajai_53@... Johan Bastiaansen wrote: <<<I've been using atagonistic pairing for some time now and I like it a lot. It really keeps the pace in my training while alowing for sufficient rest between sets. I wonder if antagonistic pairing would influence ATP recovery. What doest the group think? On one hand, ATP recovery occurs in the muscle and if anything it would be improved by moving the muscle without stressing it, by working the antagonist. On the other hand, the extra exercise will put extra stress on the cardio vascular system, direct blood to the antagonist and might slow down ATP recovery? Also, while it is advised to allow full ATP recovery if you're training for strength, what about training for endurance? Does the group recommend full ATP recovery then?>>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
