Also, <strong>Die Antwort ist, sich f\u00fcr beides Zeit zu nehmen.<\/strong> Und zwar so, wie es f\u00fcr Sie am besten ist.<br\/>\n<br\/>A <strong>L\u00e4ufer,<\/strong> w\u00fcrde zum Beispiel idealerweise ein Krafttraining in die Woche einbauen, um die Gesundheit der Gelenke zu erhalten und um Kraft und Schnelligkeit zu entwickeln. Diese Einheiten w\u00fcrden keine lange Erholungszeit erfordern oder das Hauptziel - den Aufbau der aeroben Kapazit\u00e4t - beeintr\u00e4chtigen, sondern als erg\u00e4nzende Einheiten fungieren, die sich gegenseitig unterst\u00fctzen.<br\/>\n<br\/>Und Ihre Antwort wird anders ausfallen, wenn Sie sich auf Folgendes konzentrieren <strong>Reduzierung des K\u00f6rperfetts im Vergleich zur Verbesserung der Geschwindigkeit,<\/strong> oder <strong>Erh\u00f6hung der Muskelmasse und Verbesserung der Herzgesundheit.<\/strong><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><h2>Lassen Sie uns einen Moment zur\u00fcckgehen und diese beiden Arten von Training aufschl\u00fcsseln:<\/h2>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><em>\u201cKardio\u201d<\/em>, umgangssprachlich f\u00fcr Herz-Kreislauf-Aktivit\u00e4t, ist praktisch alles, was die Herzfrequenz erh\u00f6ht.

Durch zus\u00e4tzliches Widerstandstraining werden die stabilisierenden Muskeln gest\u00e4rkt und die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Ungleichgewichten im gesamten K\u00f6rper verringert. Die Entwicklung von Kraft ist gleichbedeutend mit der Entwicklung von Geschwindigkeit, und die Steigerung der Kraft verringert auch die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Formfehlern, die durch Erm\u00fcdung in den letzten Phasen des Wettkampfs verursacht werden.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_quote\" ><p>Tipp: Konzentrieren Sie sich bei Ausdauerwettk\u00e4mpfen 3-5 Mal pro Woche auf Herz-Kreislauf-Training und 2 Mal pro Woche auf Krafttraining.
