Anaerobic Exercise Can Help Your Game
Anaerobic
energy is simply a way of producing energy without depending on oxygen.
Anaerobic exercise energy is like taking money from a bank, you can't
continue to withdraw without depositing in the bank. An oxygen debt
is quickly built up from anaerobic activity which must be replaced.
The sprinter has to stop and has to catch their breath, the footballer
has to slow down and jog between explosive sprints. Fatigue set in around
30 to 40 seconds of vigorous activity and lactic acid is produced which
requires 45 to 60 minutes to be removed from the system, for an individual
to recover.
With golf,
you are drawing on the anaerobic system and if you become depleted it
can be a factor in inconsistency and loss of concentration in the later
holes of the game. You might find that you play the front 9 well but
the back 9 are inconsistent. To improve you should set a goal to at
least to exercise 3 to 4 times per week at approximately 30 to 40 minutes
per session, to increase your anaerobic fitness. Examples, depending
on your level of fitness and age, if you are a jogger combine some sprint
training into your jogging program... 400m sprints would be a suitable
distance. If you are a bike rider, combine some sprints with your normal
routine. If you are a walker, try and walk at a brisker pace at 400m
at a time, and return to your normal time for a period and then return
to your brisk walk again. Try to incorporate these into your normal
exercise routines.
