To any of the physiological 'heavy hitters':
I am curious of any recommendations regarding physical training
before and after diving, in particular, extreme exposure diving.
To elaborate a bit, I am generally referring to extreme type
exposures as diving with bottom times requiring extensive
decompression. The dive(s) could be relatively shallow with very long
BT *or* very deep with long BT. In any case, I am not as concerned
with casual recreational exposures in relation to the following
question.
Good physical fitness is crucial, I believe, for anyone diving
beyond the 'standard' recreational realm (and is really preferrable
regardless). With respect to the above, I was wondering about physical
training before and after diving. It seems fairly prudent to deduce
that training heavily on the same day of a dive would be less than
desireable, but I am curious about the day before and the day after the
dive. Would it be safe to train aerobically(running, swimming, bike,
etc) the day before and after a 'heavy' dive? I am guessing this is
o.k. as I've not had a real problem with this. Where I am particularly
concerned is in the anaerobic training area (weight lifting, sprinting,
splitting logs, etc). Can anyone give any insight on whether heavy
training (aerobic or anaerobic) is unwise on the days before and after
big dives? Should these days be 'light' days? Anyone?
Thanks for the time------Jason
