Type 2 Diabetes and Exercise - Are Adjustable Dumbbells Worth The Cost?
|
Strength training has emerged as being a powerful diabetes prevention strategy over recent years. As people age, the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes rises partly because of the loss of muscle mass. Muscle is the body's leading clearinghouse for blood sugar and accounts for roughly 75% disposal of sugar. Strength training is the most effective type of exercise for building muscle. A body strengthening regimen can be accomplished with two one-hour sessions each week. You could train in a gym or your home. If you are someone who loves doing home workouts, one thing you might be considering purchasing is adjustable dumbbells. Adjustable dumbbells are dumbbells that allow you to change the weight without having to change the dumbbell. They can be great space savers, and it seems, would make perfect sense for that at home workout.

The Truth About Lactate and Exercise
For years exercise scientists and physiologists have preached that lactate/lactic acid build-up in the muscle is the direct cause of muscle fatigue and a decrease in performance. It is proposed that lactate builds up in the muscle cells during intense exercise and literally "poisons" them, essentially shutting down activity biochemically by reducing the pH or increasing the acidity level.
The Lactate Threshold - Reality or Fallacy?
For many years exercise science has perpetuated the concept of a lactate threshold - a point during exercise where a sudden, sharp increase is noted in the concentration of lactate in the blood. This phenomenon is supposedly noticed when blood samples are taken from subjects performing incremental to max exercise tests much the same as a VO2 max test.
