Re: Physiological adaptations to long-term freediving
What about if your diet consisted on just oatmeal, rice, fish, and McDonalds?

McDonalds is fine, just stay away from the dollar menu. A number one with about 4 or 5 refills of coke and you'll be breaking 50 meters and shooting huge dogtooth tuna! You might have slight indegestion though. Skip

is this training more geared towards overall fitness, or is this training specifically aimed at improving freediving skills? If you're training mostly for freediving, what kind of results are you seeing? I used to do a lot of weight and cardio training and have found that I have become a better diver (longer dynamics, longer bottom times) since I have switched my training to more pool (I agree that variety is key to any type of training btw), and maybe weights once or 2 a week, which is mostly a short duration (30 mins) high intens session focused on core muscles. I don't train one muscle group for an hour a day like I used to. I don't do any cardio at all anymore, outside of what I do at the pool. |

creatine.the best for keeping muscle saturated with energy is to eat low glycemic carbs,like sweat potatos,brown rice and oatmeal,these convert after going through the liver to glycogen and is stored in the muscle as its energy source,witch gives you sustained energy for whatever activity you are doing,,while keeping the blood sugar stable for longer periods of time...supplementing a little creatine helps also... |

Just kidding... Good Info. Daniels. Oats or oatmeal should always be in your diet.

Re: Physiological adaptations to long-term freediving
lol..i will never recomend the mc donalds to anybody,all thow one cheat day per week seems to work for many people..regardless,loading up with the carbs i listed ,sweatpotatos,brown rice,not white rice,and oatmeal on days of pyhsical activity,anything physicaly demanding,will give the fuel to the muscles for sustained energy..Also,eating these things post physical activity will help in replenishing glycogen storage,helps the healing process..add a little glutamine and creatine helps also,about 10 grams each...Diet is everything,you need the write ratios of clean carbs,witch are the ones i listed,and the write ratio of protein and healthy fats..

Re: Physiological adaptations to long-term freediving
If you eat lots of red meat, you probably have enough creatine. I noticed that when i was taking it. I do take glutamine though. Its harder to get glutamine in your system than creatine unless you can eat a whole lot of raw spinach.

Re: Physiological adaptations to long-term freediving
Yes red meat does have creatine in it..problem is to get 10 grams of creatine from meat,it would take about 10 pounds of meat,its cheaper to just take the liquid creatine.Same with glutamine,i think its just easier to take the glutamine supplement..Better easliy absorbed by the body also..
