Regeneration for triathlon training

How can you improve the quality and quantity of regeneration in triathlon training?

In order to meet the increased regenerative demands of triathlon, the “traffic jam on the regeneration highway” can be reduced with the help of frequency-modulated applications. Such applications make use of a small muscle in the ear, which has direct access to the vagus nerve, the largest nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, with its connected nerves.

One of the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system in the body is to recover and heal – in short, to regenerate the organism. Based on this knowledge, a mobile system was developed that uses frequency-modulated acoustic signals such as music, natural sounds, adaptive noise and trigger signals to increase regeneration performance. This shortens regeneration times and increases performance in the long term. These personalized systems are top-level applications that are used by many professional and competitive athletes in triathlon, professional soccer, handball, swimming, cycling and athletics.

Sufficient recovery

Compared to many other athletes, triathletes have increased regenerative requirements. Why is this the case? Swimming training uses a large proportion of the muscles, while cycling and running place significantly greater demands on the lower extremities. In addition to the high energy consumption resulting from the training volumes, the repair measures after running training present the body with a major challenge.

Every running step causes the muscles and especially the bones to vibrate. In the long term, these vibrations lead to micro-wear in the musculoskeletal system. The body repairs the defective components through intelligent processes, which we simply call regeneration. Muscle and bone pain is often a sign of a lack of balance between regenerative processes and training loads.

Stress leads to traffic jams on the regeneration highway

The problem, especially with repair measures, is the time factor. The body can replace muscle cells relatively quickly, whereas ligament, tendon and bone cells require considerably more time. In relative terms, this means that the triathlete always has sufficient building materials and energy available. However, there is another elementary factor in the regenerative success formula – the qualitative regeneration time. During the qualitative regeneration time, the body not only replenishes its energy stores, but also increases them and increases the resilience of the musculoskeletal system.

The regeneration time is often interrupted or slowed down by negative emotions and increased mental or social stress. This leads to unnecessary traffic jams on the roads to the energy depots and muscle building sites.

Free ride for regeneration

Emotional calm, so-called “quiet mind states”, ensure that the body can develop its regenerative powers. They are the prerequisite for rapid regeneration and therefore support the highly effective updates during sleep.

However, the general regenerative quality decreases with age and the need for regeneration increases. Testosterone and CoQ10 production also decreases. In young athletes, mental stress has increased due to the current lifestyle, which can have a negative effect on regeneration.

How can regeneration be improved both qualitatively and quantitatively?

Frequency-modulated applications are an important component here. A small muscle in the ear and the nerves connected to it are used to directly access the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is the largest nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system, which performs functions in the body such as recovery and healing – in short, regeneration – of the organism. Based on this knowledge, our partner nmodular has developed a mobile system called Neuronavi over many years of research, which uses frequency-modulated acoustic signals based on music, natural sounds, adaptive noise and the targeted use of trigger signals to increase regeneration performance. This also shortens regeneration times and improves performance in the long term. These personalized and individually programmed systems at the highest level, which are used by many professional and competitive athletes in triathlon, professional soccer, handball, swimming, cycling and athletics, are a “gold standard” among neural applications in sport.
