MIXED MARTIAL ARTS CONDITIONING

Mixed Martial Arts conditioning is probably the most rigorous, difficult training an athlete can do. It requires athletes to fully develop Total Fitness. Total Fitness consists of these five areas: Core Stability and Core Movement, Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Resistance Training (Strength Endurance/Hypertrophy/Maximal Strength)/Power, Balance, and Flexibility. Within these disciplines fighters will develop the necessary stamina required for the sport. It is very important that a fighter has high stamina. Stamina is everything! It can make the difference between winning and losing. Condition yourself well, and you'll be able to go the distance. Myles Dias Fitness can help condition serious MMA Fighters and aid in breaking through any barriers to get to the highest levels of fitness. My certification as Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Coach with NESTA, my education and background, and integrated training style that includes, core training, flexibility training, cardio training, power training, resistance training, balance training, reactive training and speed, agility, and quickness training, will give you the necessary tools to succeed. For more information on Myles Dias Fitness see the related blogs on the right side of this page.

Aerobic Capacity: Any prolonged activity requiring oxygen.

Anaerobic Capacity: Any activities that are not dependent on oxygen for proper execution.

Core Stability: The lumbo-pelvic hip complex and the thoracic spine, where the body's center of gravity is located.

Strength Endurance: The ability of the body to repeatedly produce high levels of force for prolonged periods with great capacity for exertion or endurance (both physical and/or mental).

Power: The ability to produce the greatest force in the shortest time.

Muscular Endurance: The maximum force that a muscle can produce in a single voluntary effort, regardless of how fast the load moves.

Agility: The ability to accelerate, decelerate, stabilize, and change direction quickly, while maintaining proper posture.

Balance: Controlled instability

Quickness: The ability to react and change body position with maximum rate of force production, in all planes of motion, form all body positions, during functional activities.

Flexibility: The ability to achieve normal extensibility of all soft tissues that allow the full range of motion for a joint.
