HEART RATE WATCHES : using a heart rate monitor, i have been doing some erg pieces and i wouldlike to have some feedback on the role that heat buildupmight have on heart rate. When I do a 40 minute piece ata 2:03 minutes/500meter pace, my heart rate continually goes upfrom 165 to 180 at the end of the piece. Does this mean that myAT point is a lot lower than 165? Also if I do a piece where Ikeep my heart rate at a steady 165, I have to ease up from a 203/500rate to a 214/500 rate gradually during the 40 minute workout. Is it possible that a continually increasing heart rate is causedby my body trying to cool itself? If this is so and if hate causesheart rate to increase, does this throw off attempts to discover atin which a rower gradually increases speed on the erg and watches forheart rate increases to slow down.
HEART RATE WATCHES : so, does a anaerobic threshold point decrease as heat builds up?I don't think that its heat per se, though somene out there with morephysiological might knowledge might be able to corroborate this. As youprogress through a long piece, your body switches over more and more fromanaerobic to areobic fuel. Aerobic fuel is fat, which is harder to breakdown and process than glycogen. Therefore, your body has to work harder toget Oxygen to the muscles to burn the fat--which means your heart raterises progressively during a long piece if the output remains the same. This is why, to get in really good aerobic shape (and rowing is hugelyaerobic) you've *got* to do those long boring workouts, to teach yourmuscles to switch over to burning fat--which you need a strong heart andlungs to do.Another great way to get much the same effect as long pieces is to do longintervals--like 4-7 minutes, with no more than time and a half off. If youdo a series of these, like 5 or so, by the last several your body will beabsolutely screaming, since you are really forcing it do dig deep for fuel.I never know which is worse--over an hour on the erg, with my legs fallingasleep, or getting it over with more quickly with much more pain. I thinkthe best is to try to mix it up.Derrick
HEART RATE WATCHES : If you get a significant temperature rise, there is something VERY seriously wrong with you and you certainly shouldnt be doing ergs! The body shows temp rises under extreme exercise stress of less than 1 degree usually I believe, so its not that! What is happening is that you are not sufficiently aerobically fit to maintain that work output over that time. 40 mins is not a desparately long erg, so I would expect you've a bit of a way to go fitness wise - this is the level I expect my better senior girls to do for 40 mins at this time in the season without significant heart rate rise - senior men will maintain 1.45 to 1.50 for the same sort of time. I suggest you cut back to about 2.05 or 2.06 - you will probably find you can maintain that at the same heart rate - as a fat 50 year-old I've found I can't realistically kepp a steady heart rate at an output of more that 2.15 at the moment - but it took some experimenting and pride-swallowing to get there!
HEART RATE WATCHES : The critical thing about aerobic training is long steady state at constant heart rate: what you the athlete have to do is be realistic about what output you can maintain for an hour or two - You do not give your age, but if your you are aiming to work at 65 of max say, then 165 may be a bit high, and 180 will almost certainly being verging on anerobic - ie not much use for the type of training you need to be doing.(Derrick G. Pitard) writes "Another great way to get much the same effect as long pieces is to do long intervals--like 4-7 minutes, with no more than time and a half off." Er, Derrick, with respect, you are wrong! This sort of exercise is likely to be significantly anerobic (you didnt mention the work rate, but I assume higher than for long steady state!), and will not only have a completely different training effect (especially in not being anything like as effective in increasing transfer function and heart muscle building), but will also lead to significant lactic acid build-up in the muscle tissues, which does not have time to flush completely. It is because of this need to flush the lactic acid that I would normally make a crew continue for some 8 to 10 minutes AFTER a race at a light paddle if at all possible - I would certainly frown heavily on anyone stopping completely after heavy work with any significant anerobic element - its an absolute recipe for cramps and serious muscle pain, and can actually produce slight muscle fibre shortening I believe - certainly not what is wanted - and one of the main reasons for "warming down" and stretching after an outing.
HEART RATE WATCHES : (Hey, I like this transatlantic remote control coaching! Now to get a video hookup!) hughYes, I agree that the workout is much different in this way, with one or twocaveats. a workout of over 5 minutes will be significantly anaerobic, butsignificantly aerobic as well--I think that these longer intervals reallypush that barrier hard. I am thinking specifically of the advice given in a(British!) book called _The Runner_, by Newsholme and Leach, who recommendthis sort of workout as a complement--not a replacement, I think--for longpieces, to increase aerobic capacity. I don't think the effect is*completely* different, though--If you do, say, 5 6-minute pieces, you havedone 30 minutes of work at a high heart rate--which ultimately is a lot ofaerobic work. The score may drop during the pieces (or not, depending on how much time you take off), but I would suggest that this is not entirely the point?--the 30 minutes is. I completely agree, as well, that one should not stop between or after suchpieces. Paddle slowly between them to let the muscles clear out. Thislength of piece, however, is around race length, and I think it is importantto train at them, and to let the muscles build up the ability to flushthemselves out.
