The basis for holistic training
Endurance training is an essential component of medical training therapy and rehabilitation, as the ability to endure is the basis for all daily exercise and therapeutic requirements. Of particular importance here is general basic endurance (aerobic endurance). This is understood as the capacity of an organism 1/6 of whose total muscle mass experiences load over a long period.
In endurance, the type of energy supply is critical: in the case of aerobic endurance, sufficient oxygen is available; in anaerobic conditions, too little oxygen is provided. The type of energy provision is determined by the intensity of exercise. In the rehabilitation of orthopaedic/surgical damage and in preventive care, general aerobic endurance is the key focus.
