Here some scientific information about a new method created by Dr Florence Villien (Marseille, France). As a conditioning coach I started to use this method in my programs a few years ago directly in connexion with Dr Florence Villien. But first here are some scientific results : <strong>Improve lung function, increase endurance and improve VO2max:</strong> In recent years, respiratory training complementary to the usual sports training, began to be considered for improving endurance. Researchers have shown that some devices improve endurance below maximum effort for a current of 65 to 90% of VO2max (1, 2, 3). Depending on the devices, the specific training of respiratory muscles strengthens the respiratory muscles and sometimes the expiratory muscles. Until now, these devices were not effective to increase maximum aerobic endurance (VO2max). But according to a recent French study (4), a method of respiratory training, which began to be taught in France, allow to <strong>increase...

It could be a revolutionary approach of training. And it could impact elite athletes as well as the regular folk looking to lose weight and get healthier. Without exercise? Well, almost. Studies, conducted by Dr Florence Villien in France, show that <strong>athletes may improve their endurance and VO2max without any change in their training routine! </strong>We incorporate in the training routine a specific method of breathing exercises. And this is different from any breathing techniques we've seen before. The results are pretty amazing: <strong>Improve lung function to increase endurance</strong> In recent years, respiratory training complementary to the usual sports training, began to be considered for Endurance. Researchers have shown that some devices improve endurance below maximum effort for a current of 65 to 90% of VO2max (1, 2, 3). Depending on the model, the specific training of respiratory muscles strengthens the respiratory muscles and sometimes the expiratory muscles....

<strong>"Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast."</strong> <strong> Emil Zatopek.</strong> <strong>Interval training</strong> is the most effective way to get in shape quickly. If done right, you burn fat, you strengthen your cardiovascular system, you improve your stamina. It seems that today some experts appropriate for themselves this concept of training. Well, there is nothing new: athletes have been used this form of training for decades! <strong>The father of interval training</strong> This is a training system which use intervals: each interval alternates with a pause (active or passive), so you are able to recover. After this pause, often equal to the effort duration, you are able to produce the same effort in the following interval. This method of training allows training with more intensity. This is <strong>Emil Zatopek</strong>, “The locomotive”, who is credited with revolutionizing running and training : he developed...
