ChainFitness.com: MMA Conditioning - [session's focus: muscular endurance/anaerobic threshold]

Coach Taylor Ramsdell, owner of Chain Fitness, takes MMA fighter Victor Henry through an MMA Conditioning session in preparation for his fight at Tuff-N-Uff "The Future Stars of Mixed Martial Arts", on March 26, in Las Vegas.

This session focuses on muscular endurance while attacking the cardiovascular system. The fast twitch muscle fibers are worked to increase the athlete's ability to rapidly fire during his fight, through shorts bursts of strength and great force. The athlete's heart rate was monitored to make sure he was in his target heart rate that the trainer wanted him to be in for maximum results (this particular session - 85%-95% of max heart rate). Reaching the anaerobic threshold and increasing ability to deal with the build-up of lactic acid. Pushing this anaerobic threshold to a higher level delays the exhaustion of the body in the ring. Functional exercises were incorporated to translate to his sport of MMA.
