Derek Manuel One of the biggest and ongoing arguments when it comes to mma workouts, especially the conditioning side, is the question between aerobic and anaerobic conditioning for mixed martial artists.
There are those who say anaerobic exercise is hands down FAR more effective for fighters then aerobic exercise and there wouldn’t be anything you can do to change there minds. Of course, there are those believe in opposite just as strongly.
So what do I think? I think both sides are WRONG. That’s right, I said it. Training in exclusively aerobic conditioning or just exclusively anaerobic conditioning in your mma workouts is a big mistake.
I’m feeling kinda lazy as hell today, so I found a GREAT article that should clarify what I mean and why. Check it out below:
Anaerobic Exercise Vs Aerobic Exercise – Which is Better For You?:
“When it comes to promoting weight loss and cardiovascular health, just about everyone thinks of aerobic exercise as being the solution. While it may be the more popular and obvious choice, it isn’t necessarily the best solution. Anaerobic exercise on the other hand, has incredible benefits that are often overlooked.
Let’s first clarify aerobic and anaerobic in terms of it’s dependence on oxygen. We, as organisms, require oxygen at all times. Although aerobic is considered oxygen dependent and anaerobic non-oxygen dependent, this is only in molecular terms.
Whether you’re doing wind sprints or running a marathon, as an organism you are breathing and utilizing oxygen all the time.
Oxygen only becomes a variable among the different energy pathways. Therefore, exercises that are considered aerobic in nature such as running or biking at low to moderate intensities for long durations, get their energy predominantly from oxygen dependent energy pathways.
Whereas exercises that are considered anaerobic in nature such as weight lifting and sprints that are shorter in duration and higher in intensity, get their energy predominantly from non-oxygen dependent pathways.
I’ll talk to ya soon,
