Types of muscle fibers and their functions
During training for fat burning or mass gain, you need to use different types of muscle fibers. About what they are and how to determine the ratio of muscle fibers in the body, read the article.
When playing sports, we constantly use the word “muscles”. We are talking about the fact that they work, hurt, grow or not grow, and so on. As a rule, our knowledge about muscles does not go beyond this. Nevertheless, it is very important to understand that the composition of the muscles can be different, and are prone to various kinds of load.
What is muscle?
A muscle is an organ that consists of fibers and is capable of contracting under the influence of nerve impulses sent by the brain through a brain-muscle connection. Accordingly, the main functions of muscle fiber in the context of sports are the implementation of movements and maintaining the position of the body. Continue reading
White, brown and beige fat in the human body 0
Fat in the human body is not the same in structure. Having distinguished it by color, scientists emit white, brown and beige fat. How to lose weight, knowing their features, read the article.
I already wrote that, depending on the origin and location, there are three types of fat in the body: visceral, subcutaneous and fat, determined by gender. But fat can still be classified by its structure. According to this criterion, it can be of three types.
White fat
A white fat cell consists of one big fat drop. This fat is located on the hips, buttocks, around the waist, i.e. at the place of localization – this is fat, determined by gender. White fat is also subcutaneous fat. That is, this is exactly the fatty tissue that our body reserves for an emergency and which we do not like.

Periodization of loads: how often to change the training program
Periodization of training is a necessary condition for achieving the desired result. About whom and under what conditions it is necessary to change the training plan, read the article.
This article will discuss a very important aspect of training, namely the question: how often do I need to change and adjust the lesson plan. A huge number of people starting to work out in the gym or fitness in general, note that at the beginning of training, namely the first 1.5-2 months, the body reacts quite actively to the load, and then this effect disappears and often there is a feeling that not only nothing happens with the state of the body, but even such indicators as endurance and strength also remain at the same level.
And one of the main mistakes of both beginners and many experienced trainees is the lack of a change in the training program. For years, people can do the same thing in the same order, and then say that training “does not work” and does not bring any effect.
At the heart of all this is such a concept as periodization of loads. And first of all, it is necessary to understand the theoretical component of this term.
What is load periodization Continue reading

How to choose the right weight weights for a girl
In order for the training to be not only effective, but also safe, it is important to choose the right weight. How to choose the weight of dumbbells and other equipment for girls at the beginning of training, read below.
And on this site, and on others, in the description of the exercises, you probably read something like this: “take dumbbells of the required weight” or “set the necessary resistance in the simulator” and many similar formulations. For already experienced visitors to fitness rooms, this task does not cause difficulties, but for beginners this can become a stumbling block, because an incorrectly selected weight of weights, on the one hand, can reduce the effectiveness of training, and on the other, lead to injury. So how do you find a middle ground? Continue reading
