About Optimal Training Type

Each person responds to different types of exercise in an individual way influenced by genetics. Your optimal training type may determine the rate at which you respond to different kinds of exercise, which gives you the possibility to choose an activity type and level that matches your genetic profile.

What to know about different types of exercise

Strength training is designed to improve maximal performance and is usually based on short workouts of maximum intensity. In contrast, endurance training is based on a higher number of repetitions at a lower intensity. Examples of activities to improve endurance include walking, running, jogging, swimming and cycling.

Recommendations

While differences in genetics do affect the composition of the muscles in our bodies, the influence of training and dedication combined with proper nutrition is probably still much greater than the known influence of genetics. You should lead a healthy lifestyle primarily for your health, regardless of your weight.
