Peaty fighting sports...
-
Aren’t they all peaty?
-
@SelectiveBreeder I don't think so, I do boxing 2x a week and on those 2 nights it disturbs my sleep, I think because it raises stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline.
-
@bolditinerary I eat melon after practise. Good for sleep and taste good also
-
Most sports seem to improve quality of life as long as its not overbearing, at least from what I've seen. Same goes with (most) combat sports
-
@Hitler would you be for Hitler Youth type organization? I think such would be very good for health of nation
-
@bolditinerary I think it has more to do with the nature of the training than the sport itself. A lot of coaches want you to be an endurance athlete (cortisol), yet combat sports are characterized by short intervals of maximal effort (punch combinations in boxing, throws in judo), longer intervals of lesser effort (dodging, keeping your distance, fighting for grip), and in some sports, intervals of no effort (breaks between rounds). Everything I listed is peaty in my opinion.

@SelectiveBreeder My place has intense 10min warmup, then 50min mild-moderate technique training, then some minutes in end to kill you

@gugenmungus “Boxing and jiu-jitsu have always seemed to me more important than any inferior, because incomplete, training in marksmanship. Give the German nation six million bodies with flawless athletic training, all glowing with fanatical love of their country and inculcated with the highest offensive spirit, and a national state will, in less than two years if necessary, have created an army, at least in so far as a certain basic core is present.”

@bolditinerary Sambo?
-
@gugenmungus Do you eat well after the training?
-
@SelectiveBreeder unfortunately not.... I usually just eat whole melon as stated above and drink milk or juice. I am going to make gelatin gummy bears again for after training. Maybe I also eat one whole ice cream, but it's expensive
-
@bolditinerary take p5p (50mg) following boxing practice, this will lower prolactin which is raised following strenuous exercise which will in turn decrease stress hormones
-
@SelectiveBreeder I started boxing couple months ago and my coach says I should focus on drills first... On the days I spar, things are not as bad, so you may be right.
-
@donovan I was taking some effervescent energy tablets that had high quantities of B6 a month ago and it did away with most of my fatigue. I'll try out p5p and see what happens, thanks.
-
@Fructose first time I'm hearing about it, why would you say it's peaty?
-
@gugenmungus what sport exactly if I may ask?
-
@bolditinerary interesting. Do you remember what tablet by chance ?
-
@donovan Megavit Bolero Boost

King of the hill seems pretty peaty. More of a game than a sport, but maybe that's to its credit as a peated activity. I remember playing it a lot as a kid. It basically gamifies hill sprints (concentric) with periodic bouts of wrestling.
Also I remember peat saying something about the stress of exercises being mitigated by getting to accomplish some goal/purpose during the activity. LIike chopping wood. In king of the hill, it's hard to stay king and easy to become king, so I think you get a lot of opportunity for gratification of a goal -
