Training at High Altitude Training at high altitude (typically above 1,800–2,000 meters) is a well-established strategy in endurance sports. The reduced oxygen availability at these elevations creates a physiological stress that can stimulate adaptations beneficial for performance at sea level. Physiological Responses at 2,000 Meters At 2,000 m, the partial pressure of oxygen (PO₂) is lower than at sea level. Although the oxygen fraction in air remains constant at ~21%, each

Meditation and Physical Performance In modern training, the focus often lies on physical conditioning, nutrition, and recovery. Yet one powerful element is sometimes overlooked:  meditation .

Metabolic Workouts: The Time-Smart Way to Build Endurance and Strength What is a “metabolic” workout? A metabolic workout blends high-intensity intervals with resistance-based, full-body movements. You cycle short, hard efforts (e.g., kettlebell swings, thrusters, loaded carries, jump squats) with brief recovery periods. The goal is to stress big muscle groups, drive the heart rate high, and recover just enough to repeat—netting cardiovascular and muscular benefits in one com

By Laurent Le Bosse When you have stiff ankles, tight hips, or a movement restriction, your body will find a way to keep moving. That “plan B” is called compensation. It works for a while, but over time, it can create new mechanical problems, aches, or even injuries. This article explains why compensation happens, how it affects squatting, and whether it’s “wrong” to squat with your feet wide and turned out. We’ll finish with practical exercise fixes and stance recommendation

Designed to Be Frugivores 1. Introduction Chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are on the rise worldwide—many experts attribute part of this health crisis to what we eat. The prevailing belief portrays humans as natural omnivores or even carnivores, justified by cultural narratives and an oversimplified “caveman” image. Yet mounting evidence suggests our biological design may align more with frugivory—that is, primarily fruit and plant-based consumptio

Diabetes Isn’t Just About Sugar Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is not caused by “sugar alone.” The dominant engine is insulin resistance plus beta-cell stress/failure, strongly linked to excess fat stored in the liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas (ectopic fat). Liquid sugars (e.g., sugary drinks) do worsen risk, but mainly because they rapidly overload the liver and promote fat accumulation and insulin resistance.

The noise, the machines, the mirrors, and the people who all seem to know exactly what they’re doing, it’s easy to feel lost and unsure. Many people believe that joining a gym will automatically bring them the answers they need to reach their goals. In reality, the biggest challenge isn’t the gym itself, it’s knowing where and how to begin. The Intimidation Factor For beginner

Training Muscles vs. Training Subsystems: Introduction In the world of performance and fitness, two major approaches often come together: training to improve the muscle’s ability to perform (strength, power, endurance, flexibility) and training to improve the body’s subsystems (stability, balance, coordination, movement control). While they may seem separate, the truth is that they complement each other and together create the foundation for optimal performance, health, and r
