8 Tips to Improve Physical Strength

DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH

For physics, a force is the cause that allows to alter the state of movement or rest of a body, or that makes possible its deformation. The concept, derived from the Latin word fortia, can refer to the ability to displace something, exert a resistance or sustain a weight.

PHYSICAL STRENGTH

The physical force, therefore, is a magnitude that has the ability to influence the form and movement of material elements. It can be said that the forces generate an effect on bodies that have a certain mass.

When a man lifts a box full of books from the floor and places it on a table, he is exerting physical force. In particular what it does is to apply a muscular force to overcome the resistance of the box caused by its weight.

When developing tension with his muscles, the individual applies the muscular force necessary to alter the state of rest of the box: he lifts it and moves it to another place.

Physical force also appears when a soccer player kicks a ball (a ball). Each time a player makes a certain movement with his leg and hits the ball with his foot, he applies a physical force that causes the object to move at great speed.

It is important to note that physical force, being a vector quantity, is composed of a value (a number linked to a unit of measurement), an address (the line of action: horizontal, vertical, etc.) and a sense (the orientation: backwards, forward, upwards, downwards).

WHAT CAN WE DO TO IMPROVE OUR RESISTANCE?

1. Run long distances at a slow pace. This is a good cardiovascular exercise to increase physical endurance and burn fat.

2. Anaerobic exercise is essential. Exercise your muscular strength with the work of weights, a strong muscular structure favours the physical resistance.

3. Combines the work of strength and cardiovascular capacity. Do speed races or climb the Ávila are excellent exercises for resistance because they perform a double effective work.

4. Do high intensity exercises. They are known to be practice for short periods of time but at the top of our cardiovascular capacity. For example, run for 30 minutes, inserting 2 minutes at a moderate pace, 2 minutes at the capacity limit.

5. Practice with the bicycle or in the pool. These are also exercises characterised by exercising strength and pulmonary and cardiovascular capacity at the same time.

6. Practice a daily yoga routine. Yoga is a very effective exercise to tone your body and make you aware of it, but it also allows us to understand how our breathing works and teaches us techniques to make it more efficient according to our needs.

7. Food is key to any attempt at physical improvement. Whether it is strength, aerobic capacity, resistance. If we do not have adequate nutrition our body will be unable to use the necessary nutrients to support physical activity.

8. Ask a doctor. It is important that before starting any physical activity, you perform a medical check-up, to corroborate that you are fit and you must know precisely what your current physical condition is, which will allow you to design your training plan.
