Kettlebell Workout 3 is a strength and power training routine that combines battle rings and kettlebell training to form a unique high-intensity, strength workout, followed by a 5 exercise circuit that will increase aerobic capacity, aiding in preparation fat loss.
Objectives: To examine the effect of kettlebell training on body composition, muscle strength, pulmonary function, and chronic low-grade inflammatory markers among elderly people with sarcopenia.
Intervention: The participants were randomly assigned to a kettlebell training (KT) group or a control (CON) group. The KT group received an 8-week training intervention involving 60-min sessions twice a week, whereas the CON group members continued their daily lifestyles without participating in any exercise training. Four weeks of detraining were organized to observe the retention effect of the training program on the KT group.
Measurements: The participants' body composition, muscle strength, pulmonary function, and chronic low-grade inflammatory markers were measured and analyzed before training (at Week 0, W0), after 8 weeks of training (at Week 8, W8), and after 4 weeks of detraining (at Week 12, W12).
Results: In the KT group, appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) and the sarcopenia index measured at W8 and W12 were significantly higher than those at W0(p = .004; p = .005). At W8 and W12, the sarcopenia index was significantly higher in the KT group than the CON group(p = .020; p = .019). In the CON group, the skeletal muscle mass levels measured at W8 and W12 were significantly lower than that at W0(p = .029; p = .005), and the ASM and the sarcopenia index measured at W8 were significantly lower than those at W0(p = .037; p = .036). Additionally, the measured left handgrip strength(p = .006), back strength(p = .011; p = .018), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) (p = .008; p = .006) were significantly higher in the KT group than the CON group at W8 and W12. At W8, the measured right handgrip strength was significantly higher in the KT group than the CON group(p = .043). In the KT group, the back strength and PEF levels measured at W8 and W12 were significantly higher than those at W0(p = .000; p = .004), and the left and right handgrip strength levels at W8 were significantly higher than those at W0(p = .004; p = .013). By contrast, in the CON group, the left(p = .004; p = .006)and right(p = .002; p = .004)handgrip strength levels and PEF(p = .018; p = .012) measured at W8 and W12 were significantly lower than those at W0. Moreover, compared with the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels measured at W0, those measured at W8 and W12 were significantly lower in the KT group(p = .006; p = .013)but significantly higher in the CON group(p = .005; p = .009). There was no significant difference in hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α between the KT and CON group.
Conclusion: For elderly people with sarcopenia, participating in kettlebell training significantly increases the sarcopenia index, grip strength, back strength, and PEF. In addition, the retention effect of the training program continued after 4 weeks of detraining.
Learning how to use kettlebells with correct form and technique requires knowledge and a very specific skillset. While kettlebells may be beneficial for some, they may also pose some increased risks for others.
Since there are large shear compressive loads when performing the kettlebell swing expressed on the lumber spine, it may be contraindicated for an individual who is sensitive to spinal shear compressive loading to perform certain exercises.(3)
Pro Tip: Adjust kettlebell weights according to the rep scheme you are working with. When performing higher reps use light kettlebell weights. When performing lower reps use heavier kettlebell weights.
Inthe second half of the paddle, we pull the arm up and out of the water,reaching forward to repeat the movement. In training, we mimic this samemovement to train for balance, using either a clean and press movement or areverse muscle up (high pull + transition + shoulder press)
HowWe Train Cardiovascular Fitness and Recover: We train for stamina and quick recovery with ahandful of short workouts (tabatasand kettlebellhell) that use resistance movements to overload your body over shortperiods, with very brief breaks.
The kettlebell flye is an isolation exercise that increases strength throughout the chest. Performing the exercise with a kettlebell will allow for a more secured position of the weight to reduce strain on the shoulders and wrists.
One of the most common kettlebell exercises are kettlebell swings, explosive movements featuring varying degrees of ankle, knee, and hip joint extension depending upon swing variation. Several training studies have examined the efficacy of kettlebell swing training on a variety of metrics, such as vertical jump [5,6,7,8], sprinting [5,9], and strength, including one repetition maximum for deadlifts [7], squats [6,8], and power cleans [8]. While some of the results have demonstrated kettlebell swing training to provide similar results as various resistance [5,6,7] or fitness [9] training programs, results within other studies have demonstrated resistance training to be superior to evoking performance enhancement [6,8]. Perhaps the different outcomes following kettlebell swing training interventions could be attributed to differences in the swing variations (e.g., overhead swings [OHS], shoulder height swings [SHS]), duration of training, training loads (e.g., kettlebell mass), or the progression of training loads through the training period. In order to optimize the evidence that practitioners have available for exercise prescription and progression [2,10], it is essential that objective documentation concerning the mechanical demands of an exercise, as well as how mechanical demands change with load progression [3,10], be available. When such objective documentation is available, practitioners can match client and patient goals with exercises that provide the needed training stimulus [10].
Ankle, knee, and hip joint angles and net joint moments were computed using The Motion Monitor after zero-phase lag low pass Butterworth filters were applied to the kinematic (10 Hz cutoff) and ground reaction force (35 Hz cutoff) data. These data, along with the vertical ground reaction force data, were exported as text files and further reduced using MatLab-based scripts (The Mathworks, Inc., Natick, MA, USA). All joint and kinematic data were visually examined and five consecutive swings in each set were selected for analysis. Criteria for selection included no missing marker data and continuous kettlebell movement (no pauses) with similar kettlebell displacements. Nearly all of the swings selected were between the 4th and 11th swings in the set of 15. The start, concentric-eccentric transition, and end of each selected swing was defined by the minima (start, end) and maxima (concentric-eccentric transition) of the combined vertical and anterior-posterior kettlebell displacement vector (square root of squared and summed vertical and anterior-posterior vectors). Joint angular velocities were calculated from the angular displacement time series data using the central finite difference method. Net joint moments were normalized to body mass, and for both the ankle and hip kinematic and kinetic data, the polarity of the data was reversed so that extension displacement and velocity and net joint extensor moments would be positive, thereby matching the knee. Net joint powers were computed as the product of the normalized net joint moments and angular velocity (radians/s) and net joint work was computed by integrating the net joint power-time data. Ankle, knee, and hip net joint moment impulses, work, and peak power were computed during the concentric phase only (start to concentric-eccentric transition).
Four kettlebell swing performance variables were computed: swing time, percent cycle, peak displacement, and peak velocity. Swing time was the time between the start and end of each selected repetition (includes both concentric and eccentric phases) and percent cycle was the percentage time at which the concentric-eccentric transition occurred. The difference between the start and concentric-eccentric magnitudes of the combined kettlebell vector, normalized to body height, determined peak displacement, while the peak kettlebell velocity, computed from the kettlebell displacement time series data using the central finite difference method, during the same time period was identified.
