Whether we are talking about fitness, bodybuilding, general athletic training or motor therapy (against overweight or metabolic pathologies), EMOM can represent a valid alternative and a potential improvement system for certain athletic abilities, for the efficiency of some energy systems and metabolic pathways, to increase calorie consumption and more.
Below we will try to dissect all the most important aspects of EMOM, explaining its functioning and the "metabolic" logic, then how to implement it to get the maximum benefit.
Attention! Since this is a potentially demanding workout, before experimenting it it is advisable to perform a sports medical examination with an electrocardiogram; better if of a competitive type.
, strength endurance, aerobic endurance etc ..
Its specificity to one or the other depends on how the training is structured but, due to its essential characteristics, it can never ignore the commitment of the general systems (cardio-circulatory, broncho-pomon and cerebral).
One of the characteristics of EMOM is that the predisposition to the multifrequency of the stimuli in the micro cycle, because it rarely exhausts the peripheral districts and, at the same time, allows to train the tolerance to high cardiac pulsations, to the high respiratory rate and to central nervous fatigue.
In practice, EMOM always trains the ability to withstand systemic and metabolic fatigue - albeit to varying degrees - and, if structured in this sense, it can contribute to developing specific peripheral characteristics.
The use of EMOM seems to be particularly widespread in the context of Crossfitt, in which shorter and more intense workouts are sought, but above all at high density.
