Aerobic training requires the same mental consciousness and shares the same principles with regard to frequency, duration & intensity that weight training does.
Heart rate monitoring is a vital component of cardiovascular (CV) training programs.
Heart rate monitoring provides numbers and measurements of change and progress. Your body (heart included) will adapt to most programs and then level off, this means that you need to change to see additional benefits and measure your progress.
Specific stretches are good for one activity but may not target other muscles for other activities e.g.: a runner wouldn't stretch the same muscles a swimmer would. There are certain stretches for every sport, find the appropriate stretches for your sport and when your program evolves, let your flexibility routine change as well.
To develop and maintain CV and body composition in healthy adults, the American College of Sport Medicine recommends the follow;
1. Training three to five days a week.
2. Training at 60 to 90 percent of maximum heart rate (220 - age=max. HR.
3. Continuous aerobic activity for 15 to 60 min.
4. Activity choices involve any activity that uses large muscle groups in a sustained and continuous nature.
