| Aug 1, 2012 at 7:09 | comment | added | medmal | I gave a 'real' answer and comment below so I may be entitled to an off point comment now. It seems that nothing much has really changed since gladiators trained with clapperless bells (dumbbells comes from a Roman essay). Won't we have an implanted computer controlled micro-pump for safe drugs that solve all our fitness problems within 20 years? What effect will that have on our lives? I can't imagine my life being better without the gym. I gave your question another point. It was even better than I first realized. | |

| Jul 14, 2012 at 17:11 | comment | added | DribblzAroundU82 | @fredob lol actually i totally agree. I get a much higher training effect as well from weightlifting. I just wanted to state what most generic books display as "kernels". | |
| Jul 14, 2012 at 15:01 | comment | added | FredrikD | @Andreas, good point. However, I am not sure whether anaerobic and aerobic are the best categories. In my own experiments, I see that I get a high training effect when I do weight-lifting (e.g. measured as high pulse over time). | |
| Jul 14, 2012 at 14:57 | comment | added | FredrikD | @Sancho, I think the problem that I am facing is to have a framework for executing various training programs over time. | |

| Jul 14, 2012 at 7:31 | comment | added | FredrikD | @JohnP, increasing n to a higher number would be interesting. Perhaps a part of the "kernel" would be to be actively share experiences. | |
| Jul 14, 2012 at 0:36 | comment | added | DribblzAroundU82 | @fredob i believe "kernels" should broken up into aerobic output activities such as swimming, running, biking and anaerobic activities in weightlifting which consist of the core lifts (press, squats and deads). Put that into a program and you'll always be fit. | |

| Jul 13, 2012 at 17:08 | comment | added | FredrikD | @DaveLiepmann, agree that "stay active" is the (too) general formula but I think that part of the kernel should be to monitor your capability (strenght, mobility and conditioning) | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 16:57 | comment | added | user3085 | What is the problem you are facing that answering this question would help you with? | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 16:50 | comment | added | FredrikD | @BerinLoritsch, I do agree that goals change over time. However, when you get into the "get bored and quit" or "can't perform as I did when {at peak, when young, ..}, I have seen many people just quit all training. Perhaps I should add more of this reasoning in the question? | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 16:44 | comment | added | FredrikD | @IvoFlipse, perhaps I can precise a bit more what I mean by a "kernel" (like the ones you have in operating systems, concept in SEMAT, and in strategy). I think the answer from Robin points in the direction of what kind of training that is sustainable for a long period. I.e. should have the highest priority. | |

| Jul 13, 2012 at 13:51 | comment | added | JohnP♦ | I've been in sports for 41 years (First swim meet when I was 4), so I could give you n=1 experience, but as it is, your question is way to wide spanning. | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 12:55 | comment | added | Dave Liepmann | On a 40-year time frame, I don't think we're going to be able to get any more specific than "stay active". Maybe "keep strength, mobility, and conditioning in mind"? | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 12:41 | comment | added | Berin Loritsch | The problem with your question is that goals change over the course of time. When goals are reached, we replace them with new goals--or get bored and quit. Most programs are centered around achieving a specific goal. So the question is this: what do you see yourself doing over 40 years? If you can answer that, we can give some advice on what should remain a core component of your training. As it is, your answers would be equally as broad as your question. | |
| Jul 13, 2012 at 12:16 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | Hi @Fredob, questions that are so broad generally have no one real answer. Is there any specific problem your facing? Like picking a type of sports you can remain active in for decades? The whole point there are dozens of different types of sports is because everybody has different needs and preferences. So I'd advise you to change the focus of your question, else we'll probably has to close it for being too broad. | |
