craknek Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 http://norden1.com/~pbarney/defense/instructional/noaerobic.html Some of you probably already knew this.. but I was surprised, especially about the running part of it...

IAMA_chick Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 it does seem weird. our school runs a mile together after sparring classes on fridays. i still don't understand how it doesn't help. that was rather confusing. Tae Kwon Do15-years oldpurple--belt
craknek Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 pro, It didnt say that running all together is bad for you. It said doing about 20 mins of aerobic exercise 3-4 times a week is very healthy for you, and should be done. So, running a mile after a class is good for yoru heart. Now, to build Fast Type 2 twitch muscle fiber, for kicking power and speed, after you ran your mile, do some Sprints... kicks the bags, with some weights on your legs maybe, do some weight lifting, etc. Those kind of exercises build more explosivness in your muscle.. where as alot of aerobics will build the slower.. muscle fiber which is better for endurance... Like the article said, cross country runners, can only do a vertical leap of like 4 inches... which is bad.. because alot of there muscle fiber is more for endurance.. rather than type 2, which is for power.

IAMA_chick Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 we do kick with weights on our legs and stuff. i think we train pretty well on doing different things so, me must be doing well, i guess? does your class run, and do alot of other things together? just wondering.

MantisWarrior Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 that was pretty interesting thanx for the post Fighting out of hate brings only disgrace.
kchenault Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Thanks craknek! That explains why I suck at aerobics but can kick a guys spine out through his back. Gonna have to get a heavy bag again. Work on that explosiveness. Great article. Ken ChenaultTFT - It does a body good!
tommarker Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 As a former cross-country runner, I'll take offense to that conclusion. If we only had 4 inch vertical jumps, the steeplechase would be a limbo I will agree that running will not do much for fast-twitch muscle fibers, but that's what cross-training with weights, plyometrics, and some hill sprints are for. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
