I have heard that increasing your capilary density from performing mild endurance work can decrease your recovery time from intensive activities.
Needless to say i want to try this out, because at the moment i'm only performing intensive work and it can take 2 to 3 days to repair from each session. so my question is how should i apply this.
obviously i don't want to do it at the same time i do intense work, so that leaves later that day or alternating days and quite possibly in a progressive scale based on current capilary desity. For example right now i may only be able to perform the alternating days, but later down the road i may be able to do both in one day due to the increase in caplilary density.
also, is there any other benifits you can see that would come from increased capilary density?
my first thught would be better overall performance because it would be exactly like widening the intake and exhaust valves on a cylender.
I'm not saying i'm guna complety train only endurance, but i think it's possible that a balance may be more efficaint then striktly high intensity.
thoughts?
