David Marshall Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I don't know if racing Vets has damaged my heart but it sure has shattered my ego!
Belgarath Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I might be completely wrong, but was the research done on cyclists at all? I only read marathonners. Is it as applicable to guys that are only doing cycling?
JarradVZ Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Most of the research is on runners. The mechanism remains the same however: Endurance exercise exerts a chronic volume overload (leading to predominantly eccentric chamber hypertrophy) while strength training exerts a pressure overload (leading to predominantly concentric chamber hypertrophy).
DJR Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I would love to see a study of the dopers from 20 - 30 years ago!
Thomo Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Oh and never call him old... he gets very insulted. We prefer "experienced" or similar.
SwissVan Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Case in point ... basically: 50g/day of bacon raises your risk of bowel cancer from ≈0.064% to ≈0.072%. Any reports saying "bad as smoking" are irresponsible So should I smoke or eat bacon, you guys tell me please? Eat bacon. Always eat bacon. I'm going take the high risk road and look for smoked bacon pieces next time i go shopping
BarHugger Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Most of the research is on runners. The mechanism remains the same however: Endurance exercise exerts a chronic volume overload (leading to predominantly eccentric chamber hypertrophy) while strength training exerts a pressure overload (leading to predominantly concentric chamber hypertrophy).Would be interesting to determine the relationship with exercise blood pressure and BP responses at a specific workload and risk, rather than intensity of maximum capacity (iow stress and strain on cardiovascular system as whole unit). Won't low intensity training but at an increased BP and subsequent elevated HR have the same effect?
Barend de Arend Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Can't "ride your bike faster than the guy in front of you". You obviously aren't a racer.
TALUS Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 As JarradVZ points out it appears that it is really only in susceptible individuals. The problem is to try and identify them before it is too late.
EmptyB Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Ok, I'm 43 years old an reading all of this is not good for my heart!
Pah Bear Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 You obviously aren't a racer.Well ... If you do he's not in front of you no more. Just a thought. :whistling: You right, I'm too old to worry about being a racer and considering the topic of this thread ... suppose that's a good thing ... trying to stay alive longer?
Spokey Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Facinating topic this. At 52, I now have my excuse for those lazy days!!
eccc whippet Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Going into the dreaded downhill slide 50 + in a couple months time...with my eyesight already shot...being told i need to get a quack to stick something up my rear end every now and again...thank goodness i havent been a marathon runner...more like the couch whale...so my heart should be strong as i venture into cycling [emoji3]
Patchelicious Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 The one thing I have taken from this is thread is that there are tons of ballies on the Hub and riding bikes!! Awesome
W Smith Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Some interesting comments from a cardiologist on this topic . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6U728AZnV0
SwissVan Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Facinating topic this. At 52, I now have my excuse for those lazy days!! I know the feeling..... But in hindsight i think is an excellent topic. simply reality check as you get older you have to engage the brain more and think about looking after yourself better... I see lots and lots of old "retired" people around me here in switz who are still very active and much healthier looking than their average South African counterpart, the reason being imho is they are very active...not hard core vet racing active but just active in a lot of ways including walking / hiking up mountains etc... its a way of life
