Energie Cardio Blog CONTRAST TRAINING

La méthode d’entraînement par contraste combine ces deux méthodes d’entraînement, c'est-à-dire une alternance des charges lourdes et légères. Cette méthode soumet alors le corps à des forces contradictoires obligeant ainsi le système neuromusculaire à s’adapter positivement. Vous le remarquerez, l’effet d’entraînement est très intéressant. Cependant, le niveau d’intensité est très élevé – débutant s’abstenir.

Une des variables de cette méthode consiste à débuter par un exercice avec peu de répétitions (4 à 6), une vitesse d’exécution lente et une charge élevée, suivi immédiatement par d’un deuxième exercice, sollicitant les mêmes groupes musculaires, avec beaucoup de répétitions (15 à 20), une vitesse d’exécution plus rapide et une charge légère.

I think I'll try this at home, maybe on the TRX
