Does pHx improve V02max in both
large and small muscles such as those in the wrist?
V02max is the maximum amount of oxygen in millilitres muscles can use
in one minute per kilogram of body weight. Prior to the emergence of
Body'Fit pH Fitness™ system of exercise (short form... pHx™), numerous
studies have shown that VO2max can be increased by working large muscles
at an intensity that raises heart rate enough - to a level that
achieves V02max in working muscles for at least 20 minutes three to five
times a week. Of course it wasn't previously possible for small
muscles, such as those in the wrist, to reach VO2max even at maximum
heart rate.
The physical limitations that restrict the rate at
which energy can be released aerobically are dependent upon:
•
the chemical ability of the muscular cellular tissue system to use
oxygen in breaking down fuels
• the combined ability of
cardiovascular and pulmonary systems to transport the oxygen to the
muscular tissue system
A study by Saltin B, Rowell LB. concluded
that it is the delivery of oxygen to active tissues that is the major
limiting factor to VO2max. A study by Gollnick PD et al. showed a weak
relationship between the body's ability to utilize the available oxygen
and VO2max.
Understandably fatigue is a factor that must be
carefully monitored to prevent overtraining. Therefore endurance
training at a percentage of V02max is the route most coaches and
athletes have chosen in the past.
It's possible to radically
improve on the rate at which energy can be released aerobically with:
•
rapid normalization of body pH (in minutes instead of hours or even days) combined
with oxygenation of muscles in order of greatest blood volume,
optimizes the chemical ability of muscular cellular tissue system to use
oxygen in breaking down fuels
• the building of oxygen reserves
in deep organs with specialized engineering of cardio vascular
circulation in order of greatest blood volume combined with a
ventilation/ perfusion (V/Q ratio) closer to a value of one (for greater
respiratory efficiency).
With the proper sequencing of movements, oxygen transport to both
organ and muscle tissue is optimized for greater absorption in all the
cells, rendering competition for oxygen unnecessary.
This 'new paradigm' advancement also now allows the training of small muscles of dexterity at VO2max, provided all design elements are adhered to. To improve sports dexterity, it's of paramount importance to perform the 24 exercises in the Body'FIt pHx series on this site precisely as indicated, otherwise pH chemistry won't be optimized to Peak Metabolic Potential™ (PMP™).
