Mari Llewellyn: 我对"toned"这个词感到很困惑,因为它没有明确的定义。我们需要更具体的健身目标,而不是笼统的描述。只进行单一类型的运动(例如普拉提)会限制健身效果,我们需要根据个人目标制定个性化的计划,这同样适用于睡眠和营养。 我很好奇"肌肉妈妈"运动,我认为女性力量训练后拥有更多肌肉不仅更健康,也更好看。过去女性力量训练信息匮乏,现在情况有所改善,更多女性力量训练专家出现,这使得更多女性开始接受力量训练。女性应该根据自身需求和喜好选择体型,不必担心他人看法。 我的祖母已经快90岁了,她每天游泳、步行,保持活跃的社交生活,这说明即使老年人也可以安全有效地进行力量训练。 Andy Galpin: 我同意"toned"这个词很模糊,我们需要明确具体的健身目标。只依赖一种健身方法会限制进步,应该根据个人目标制定个性化计划,这同样适用于睡眠和营养。我建议人们进行力量训练,并且支持"肌肉妈妈"运动。过去女性力量训练信息匮乏,但现在情况有所改善,更多女性力量训练专家出现,这使得更多女性开始接受力量训练。女性应该根据自身需求和喜好选择体型,不必担心他人看法。 力量训练对女性的长期健康益处巨大,包括增强力量、改善认知功能、降低患痴呆症的风险等。即使老年人也可以安全有效地进行力量训练。肌酸等运动补充剂对女性健康益处多于负面影响,女性对肌酸的担忧(例如膨胀)多为个体差异,并非普遍现象。目前关于孕期和产后运动的研究正在增加。 我们正在进行一项关于月经周期中睡眠的研究。我开发的Absolute Rest睡眠监测系统可以提供更精准的睡眠数据和个性化指导。心率变异性(HRV)是一个真实的指标,但不同设备的测量结果可能存在差异,HRV数值应结合其他指标综合分析,而非单独解读。呼吸频率过快会导致呼吸性碱中毒,进而影响心理状态,我们需要找到并打破这个循环。最终目标是让女性能够自己解读身体信号,并根据自身需求进行调节。
