Mean heart rates of 80-85% of HRmax and numerous (>190/h) high intensity actions, i.e. dribbles, shots, turns, jumps, sprints, accelerations, decelerations and tackles, may explain why soccer effectively stimulates both aerobic and anaerobic energy delivery systems [ 55, 56].
In a grand prix there is no respite - it's high intensity action for the entire duration of the race, with core body temperatures often higher than 40ºC and your heart rate above 170 beats a minute.
Team-sport players (eg, football) perform a large number of high-intensity actions, including numerous sprints, often with incomplete recoveries, during the course of a game.
A recent study demonstrated a 13-fold increase in high-intensity actions over the course of a match when combining sprint bouts and accelerations in the analysis.
3 Thus, at moderate altitude, team-sport athletes had reduced maximal capacity and greater decrement in performance during matches compared with those at sea level, and the players were not able to modulate match activity to preserve high-intensity actions.
Water polo is a dynamic intermittent team sport, requiring a high aerobic power to meet the high-intensity demands of the game. 1 2 When in the pool, field players are continuously involved in match play; requiring them to swim repeatedly from end to end, interspersed with high-intensity actions, including jumping, wrestling and sprinting.
2 Indeed, the frequent occurrence of high-intensity activity bouts highlights the ability to perform such actions as an important facet of the game. 2 Recovery from high-intensity actions requires the repletion of phosphocreatine which in turn, is reliant on aerobic metabolism.
68 Sport scientists have been tempted to directly measure the acute effects of an altitude exposure or the efficacy of a period of altitude acclimatisation on the occurrence of repeated high-intensity actions (frequency of maximal accelerations) and match running performance, as recently garnered from total distance covered or distances completed across different preselected time intervals.
I loved the juxtaposition of high-intensity action with absolute simplicity".
Even after almost two hours of high-intensity action, his mind and his body were in perfect union.
From the slow-motion showdown with the zombie horde (probably some of their most impressive special effects) through to the long distance shot of the group unloading Tyreese's body, the conclusion delivers high-intensity action alongside the more tender moments.
