swimming

Yeah...but when you have your head under water...

And PS, goggles is a great idea

 

Swimming is not plyometric, swimming is a non weight baring event, swimming is also a sub-neural event at times.........what i mean by this is. Its not very taxing or as taxing on your central nervous system as other sports like sprinting, and even boxing at times.

Swimming is ok, to do once aweek for general conditioning though.

No doubt about it....

I was just in a mood before, i'm gonna post seriously on these trainning forums now.

I'm BACK..!

 

lol this guy is a serious crackpot

 

That doesn't make sense.

Conditioning is a term used to describe positive physiological adaptions for a specific activity.

 

Depends on how you swim. It's a lot like running: it can be tailored to your needs. I prefer running because I think it builds mental toughness, I enjoy getting a nice little high from it, and I'm a much better runner than swimmer hahaha.

 

Only for a little while, then you'd drown!

 

People use aerobic/anaerobic as if it's a black and white thing. The different energy systems in the body work in harmony with each other. Especially in a complex sport like boxing, both systems need to be in tip top shape as it's never one or the other, both systems work simultaneously. Statements like "boxing is 80% anaerobic" are fully arbitrary because it depends on style, punch output, movement, etc, but also just plain ****ing useless.

 

I agree with this.

I'll tell you one thing though, I feel the best in the ring if I got my legs, and I get my legs from runnin.

Guys that don't run long distance aren't trainin their legs for endurance, and if you don't got the legs to get away from your opponent, you probably won't have the agility to move your body either.

This makes you a stiff, sittin target.

 

Anyone who thinks "boxing is anaerobic" should read this thread on Sherdog.

all/most anaerobic conditioning workouts also work the aerobic system.

 

Correct.
