Increasing Endurance and Resistance in Prolonged Exercise

Endurance and resistance are commonly associated with sports such as running, cycling and swimming. Essentially, the aim is to maintain physical effort for as long as possible and that means adequate training and nutrition are necessary. This also includes nutrition during training.

Follow these tips and start progressing today!

Training

For increased versatility and resistance, try to add interval training to your routine. For example, you can run at different speeds and slope angles on the treadmill or outdoors. To increase the resistance of your muscles, aim for a higher number of reps rather than heavier loads during your trainings.

Nutrition

Increase the intake of all macronutrients in all the meals you have, particularly of carbohydrates.

Supplementation

Supplementation will make sure that your energy stores last the entire training and that your recovery process is optimised.
