Factors That Affect Fitness And What You Can Do About It
Not all mean are created physically equal. Each of us have our own unique genetic makeup. These genetic variables dictate our fitness, fat loss, muscle development and athletic ability. We can actually do nothing much when it comes to our genetics however it is only the raw material. Each of us is actually capable of achieving maximum fitness , fat loss, muscle and athletic potential. Your body is capable of being great just like a raw diamond. Cut and polished to perfection, a diamond dazzles. Your body, if it reaches its full potential, can do the same.
Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of energy needed to maintain basic body processes. Some people have faster basal metabolic rates than others. Though exercise is not included in BMR measurements, the muscles that you develop as a result of it do. It is because muscles require a higher amount of calories to keep functioning. The amount of fat cells in one's body is predetermined genetically. There are more fat cells in women compared to that in men. Fat cells can only be reduced in size; liposuction is needed to reduce it in number. However, a high fat diet can significantly increase the number of fat cells. Exercise and a sensible nutrition plan though can decrease fat cells' size dramatically.
Symmetry and body proportion are certainly hereditary. Some people have naturally long limbs while others have short ones. Proportion and symmetry is dependent on how each body part relates to each other. Working on your weak parts in order to make your body appear proportional is attainable. There are people with large, medium, or small bones. null Muscles insert onto the same bones in humans but the exact point varies. This affects leverage and therefore, strength.
Muscle fibers like fat cells are also genetically predetermined. People with more muscle fibers naturally have more potential to grow bigger. Muscle fibers are further divided into two types; the fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers. Endurance activities like running use slow twitch muscles while strength is dictated by the amount of fast twitch muscles. You have more fast twitch muscles if you are into weight training. Food tolerance problems like allergies, insulin response and carbohydrate sensitivity affect one's relationship with food. Digestive capacity also differs in terms of absorption and utilization of nutrients. Some people even have longer digestive tracts than others.
If you feel that you've been dealt a rotten hand genetically, don't despair. Genetics does not have sole control of how your body turns out. Fat loss is determined more by factors that you can control. Success comes when you make the most of what you have.
