My buddy told me his wrestling coach made them run for 15 minutes long after they lifted because it "longates the muscle and provides oxygen to them". Me, personally, was a little bit skeptical of that because I always read that you shouldn't mix cardio with your weight training sessions. What is yalls input on this?
Appreciate all input :)
 
I don't know about any of that, but there's this huge guy at GNC that I asked about when to do cardio and he said he would do it after because it keeps the glycogen levels up.
 
It does increase blood flow to muscles.

I learned it this year. After baseball practice , where I threw over 70 pitches, the Coach told us to run for 20 minutes. He told us it was to make our delivery faster and develop more velocity. He also told us that we will never have a sore arm again if we run after ever game pitched. Worked so far.
 
sounds like the active recovery principle, only you guys do it right after training. Its something i sometims do on off days, increase blood flow to the muscles is a good thing. But cardio after strenght training is a debatable subject. But i seem to remember an article about low intensity steady state cardio for a short time after weight training wont hurt you.

dont know where he got the elongate muscle thing :p

Why would muscle want oxygen, having a run after weights would stop most of the nutrients that would otherwise be headed to the muscles :confused:

and adumb....keeps the glycogen levels up :eek: ;) dont think so
 
That's just what I was told, and the guy that told me is going to be the next Mr. Missouri, believe it or not. It doesn't surprise me though, he knows his stuff and he is like the biggest guy I've ever seen in my life!
 
running is aerobic, meaning it requires oxygen in the muscles to continue exercise, while weight training is anaerobic.

like weight training, your body adapts to running by more efficiently using the stored energy, and maximizing use of O2 to burn that stored energy.

the coach is smart for having you train your muscles in multiple ways, since wrestling requires strength and endurance to excel at the sport.
