Document Summary
Female have lower energy cost because of a higher bf% compared to man , aiding in buoyancy which hence lesser effort needed to stay afloat" o pros o cons. Good for spine as it is weight supported. Lesser energy cost as compared to running (but able to match up with increase in duration) Local fatigue (from muscles) might occur before training stimulus starts to improve on central adaptation. (tire out even before stimulus) o important! Need to focus on improving swimming technique. This will allow for greater intensity and a longer duration in the water. Usual (w:r) ratio is about 1:third or 1:half. Due to assistance from horizontal body posture (improving venous return) Convert km/hr to kcal to kj unit! = 1 day x 10. 5km/hr (57. 4kj/min) x 30 minutes. = 1722 kj (for a session of running) Walking (rot: 2 2. 5x duration of run time) = 1 day x 5. 5km/hr (25. 6kj/min) x duration.
