What is Metabolic Condition?

"What does metabolic conditioning mean? Is it necessary? Does high intensity training provide it?"

 

When most people think of training to improve endurance, they think of conditioning the cardiovascular system to improve transport of blood to the working muscles. Metabolic conditioning is the other side of the coin – conditioning the muscles to better use what’s being delivered to them by improving the efficiency of the different metabolic pathways.
