Wie w\u00e4re es, wenn wir sagen w\u00fcrden, dass Saufgelage am Abend vor dem Training Ihre Leistung verringern und somit Ihre Kraft- und Fitnessgewinne einschr\u00e4nken?<\/span>\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\" ><br\/>Alkoholkonsum hat nachweislich folgende Auswirkungen <strong>die Leistungsf\u00e4higkeit zu verringern, das Muskelwachstum zu verlangsamen, die Fettspeicherung im K\u00f6rper zu erh\u00f6hen, den Stoffwechsel zu verlangsamen und die Schlafqualit\u00e4t zu verringern.<\/strong> Das bedeutet, dass Sie, selbst wenn Sie konsequent trainieren und regelm\u00e4\u00dfig zu viel trinken, nur einen Bruchteil der Ergebnisse erzielen, die Sie sonst erzielen w\u00fcrden.<br\/>\n<br\/>Als Trainer stelle ich fest, dass der Alkohol manchmal das einzige ist, was die Leute nicht aufgeben und keine Kompromisse eingehen wollen. So oft h\u00f6re ich, dass die Leute ihre Kraft und Fitness steigern und ihr K\u00f6rperfett reduzieren wollen, und doch \u00fcbersehen sie die tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen, die \u00fcberm\u00e4\u00dfiger Alkoholkonsum auf ihren K\u00f6rper hat.<br\/>\n<br\/>Zwar wird einem m\u00e4\u00dfigen Alkoholkonsum ein geringer Nutzen zugeschrieben, doch \u00fcberwiegen die Risiken bei weitem. Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass <strong>Alkoholkonsum von mehr als zwei Standardgetr\u00e4nken pro Tag erh\u00f6ht das Risiko von lebensstilbedingten Krankheiten<\/strong> wie Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, Krebs, Diabetes und Fettleibigkeit. Meiner Erfahrung nach ist es f\u00fcr die Menschen jedoch schwierig, die Realit\u00e4t dieser Krankheiten zu begreifen; sie sind schwer zu fassen, nicht greifbar, \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigend und scheinbar eine Ewigkeit entfernt.<br\/>\n<br\/>Gespr\u00e4che \u00fcber Alkohol k\u00f6nnen sich daher oft nicht greifbar anf\u00fchlen und sind nicht relevant. Deshalb vereinfache ich sie gerne und konzentriere mich auf Aspekte, die vor Ort sinnvoll und umsetzbar sind.<br\/>\n<br\/>Machen Sie sich diese drei Punkte klar, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie nicht um die Ergebnisse gebracht werden, f\u00fcr die Sie hart arbeiten.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>1. Leistung \/ Der Kater<\/strong>\nUm mit dem Offensichtlichen zu beginnen: \u00dcberm\u00e4\u00dfiger Alkoholkonsum f\u00fchrt zu einem Kater, der sich negativ auf die Leistung auswirkt. Dies kann nicht nur zu Kopfschmerzen, \u00dcbelkeit und allgemeiner M\u00fcdigkeit f\u00fchren, sondern \u00fcbersch\u00fcssiger Alkohol wirkt auch harntreibend, was zu Dehydrierung f\u00fchren kann.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Wie wirkt sich das auf meine Leistung aus?<\/strong>\nWenn Sie nach einer durchzechten Nacht Sport treiben, k\u00f6nnen Sie noch mehr dehydrieren, da Sie noch mehr schwitzen, um Ihre K\u00f6rpertemperatur zu kontrollieren. Es besteht dann nicht nur die Gefahr, dass Sie \u00fcberhitzen, sondern die Dehydrierung f\u00fchrt auch zu einer verminderten Durchblutung und Sauerstoffversorgung der arbeitenden Muskeln, was sich wiederum auf Ihre Leistung auswirkt.\nKein Wunder, dass es nach einer durchzechten Nacht so viel schwerer ist, zu trainieren!<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>2. Fettzunahme \/ Der Blow Out<\/strong>\nHier gibt es einige Faktoren zu beachten:\nErstens hat Alkohol nur einen geringen N\u00e4hrwert und wird dennoch vom K\u00f6rper besser verarbeitet als jeder andere N\u00e4hrstoff. Da Alkohol den Energiebedarf des K\u00f6rpers deckt, wird die Fettoxidation auf Eis gelegt, was bedeutet, dass \u00fcbersch\u00fcssige Kalorien, die beim Alkoholkonsum verbraucht werden, als Fett gespeichert werden.<br\/>\n<br\/>Zweitens liefert Alkohol \u201dleere\u201d Kalorien, da sie ohne S\u00e4ttigungsgef\u00fchl aufgenommen werden, was zu n\u00e4chtlichen Gelagen f\u00fchren kann, bei denen die N\u00e4hrstoffe nicht verarbeitet werden k\u00f6nnen und stattdessen gespeichert werden. Daher wurde festgestellt, dass ein h\u00f6herer Alkoholkonsum mit einem h\u00f6heren Gesamtk\u00f6rperfettanteil, insbesondere um die Mittellinie herum, in Verbindung steht. Autsch.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>M\u00f6chten Sie das zus\u00e4tzliche Fett um Ihre Mitte herum loswerden?<\/strong>\nVerzichten Sie auf Alkohol, oder reduzieren Sie zumindest auf vier alkoholfreie Tage pro Woche.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>3. Erholung \/ Der Kicker<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Wenn es um die Erholung geht, ist der Schlaf der K\u00f6nig. Er hat einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf das Muskelwachstum und das allgemeine Wohlbefinden. Es ist gut dokumentiert, dass Alkoholkonsum zwar dazu beitr\u00e4gt, dass man schneller einschl\u00e4ft, aber die Qualit\u00e4t des Schlafs verringert wird. Die unmittelbare Folge davon sind Tagesm\u00fcdigkeit und Konzentrationsschw\u00e4che. Es gibt jedoch noch eine weitere Auswirkung zu bedenken.<br\/>\n<br\/>Alkoholkonsum innerhalb weniger Stunden vor dem Schlafengehen bedeutet weniger REM-Schlaf (Rapid Eye Movement). Diese Schlafphase ist nachweislich die wichtigste f\u00fcr die Wiederherstellung von Organen, Knochen und Gewebe sowie f\u00fcr die Wiederauff\u00fcllung der Immunzellen und des zirkulierenden menschlichen Wachstumshormons.<br\/>\n<br\/>Obwohl noch weitere Untersuchungen durchgef\u00fchrt werden m\u00fcssen, gibt es auch Hinweise darauf, dass die Einnahme von Alkohol die Proteinsynthese in der Skelettmuskulatur unterdr\u00fcckt, was sich auf die Anpassung an das Training und die zuk\u00fcnftige Leistung auswirken w\u00fcrde.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Wie wirkt sich das auf meine Ausbildung aus?<\/strong>\nOhne ausreichenden Qualit\u00e4tsschlaf wird Ihre Erholung beeintr\u00e4chtigt, was zu einer Verringerung der Leistung, des Muskelwachstums, der Kraftanpassung und der Energie f\u00fchrt.<br\/>\n<br\/>Da Sie nun wissen, wie sich Alkohol auf Ihr Training auswirkt, lassen Sie uns zu folgenden Punkten kommen <strong>5 Dinge, die Sie sofort in die Tat umsetzen k\u00f6nnen<\/strong>:<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>1. Halten Sie Ihre schweren Trainingstage alkoholfrei.<\/strong>\n<strong>2. Vermeiden Sie es, am Abend vor einem langen Lauf, einer schweren Krafteinheit oder einem Rennen zu trinken, um sicherzustellen, dass Sie leistungsf\u00e4hig sind. <\/strong>\n<strong>3. Wenn Sie trinken m\u00f6chten, halten Sie sich an maximal 2 Standardgetr\u00e4nke pro Tag.<\/strong>\n<strong>4. Essen Sie eine proteinreiche Mahlzeit, bevor Sie trinken, um n\u00e4chtliche Fressattacken zu vermeiden. <\/strong>\n<strong>5. Trinken Sie Ihr letztes Getr\u00e4nk mindestens 2 Stunden vor dem Schlafengehen aus. Trinken Sie eine Tasse Kr\u00e4utertee, damit Sie gut schlafen k\u00f6nnen.<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>Jetzt sind Sie mit den Informationen ausgestattet, die Sie brauchen, um Ihre Anstrengungen zu maximieren und das Beste aus Ihrem Training herauszuholen.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Los geht's!<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/>Bild von Ramon L.

Recovery \/ The Kicker\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;When it comes to recovery, sleep is King. It has a profound impact on muscle growth and general well-being. It\u2019s well documented that while alcohol consumption may help people fall asleep faster, the quality of sleep is reduced. The immediate impact of this is daytime tiredness and lack of concentration. However, there is a larger impact to consider.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Alcohol consumption within a few hours of bedtime means less REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.\u00a0This stage of sleep has been shown to be the most important in restoring organs, bones and tissue, as well as replenishing immune cells and circulating human growth hormone.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Although more research needs to be done, it\u2019s also suggested that alcohol ingestion suppresses protein synthesis in skeletal muscle which would impact the adaptation to training and future performance.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How does that affect my training?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\nWithout enough quality sleep, your recovery will be compromised meaning a reduction in performance, muscle growth, strength adaptations, and energy.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;Now you understand the effect that alcohol has on your training, let\u2019s move to \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;5 things that you can put into action immediately\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;:\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;1.

If you choose to drink, stick to a maximum of 2 standard drinks per day.\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;4. Eat a meal high in protein before you drink to avoid late night binges. \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;5. Finish up your last drink at least 2 hours before you go to bed.
