Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 156: Northern Black Horse's current weight is...

In Yasui Makoto's training program, the main tasks for the first week were originally planned to be testing and adaptation.

In terms of conventional training ideas for the classic front, the competitions in the first half of the year are basically middle-distance, and the tasks are mainly speed- and skill-based, so as to balance the comprehensive requirements of this type of competition for speed, strength, endurance and other qualities.

Without considering other events in the second half of the year, if we only talk about the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival, the first thing to do is endurance training.

Judging from previous performances, the average completion time for this game is around 3 minutes.

If this time is converted into speed, the full-distance speed is not much lower than the middle distance.

Just like I reminded Northern Xuanju, if you don’t have enough endurance and corresponding skills, you may not be able to judge the situation due to fatigue at the finish line and miss the victory.

Therefore, the original training tasks will be reduced depending on the situation, or adjusted to focus on endurance, followed by strength.

All of these changes take time to get used to.

What made An Jing really happy was that Northern Xuanju had good physical fitness in this aspect, and it only took him half the time to complete the first week's task.

This undoubtedly made the special training progress much faster.

In just half a month, many inspection data have reached the expected ideal range.

Yunhai Hotel often receives various groups that come for special training and has a medical room with fairly complete facilities.

In addition, the various equipment brought can also be used to test various indicators. After coming out of the infirmary that day, An Jingzhen almost understood the adaptation status of Northern Xuanju after the initial special training.

Following An Jingzhen, Beibu Xuanju, who had just finished the examination, asked curiously:
"Trainer, should I be able to start training now?"

Flipping through the medical examination report in his hand, Yasui Zhen did not give a direct answer.

"How do you feel? I mean, after training in a different place these days, do you feel any discomfort or how is your physical condition?"

"I feel...very well."

After thinking for a while, Beibu Xuanju smiled, patted his chest, bent his arms and made a bodybuilding pose.

"I feel like my chest and arm muscles have gotten bigger."

Yasui Zhen unconsciously glanced to the side.

It’s indeed much bigger... No, it was originally about this size, right?
No, what am I thinking...?
He quickly looked back at the medical report, coughed dryly, and said casually:
"After training for half a month, there should be some changes in my muscles.

"Compared to when I first arrived, all aspects of the index have improved a lot."

Various muscle indexes are one of the standards for measuring endurance and strength, and it is more intuitive to convert them into movement weight.

For example, regular strength exercises such as squats and leg presses.

Generally speaking, professionally trained human athletes can squat an average of 150 kg and leg press 500 kg.

There are big differences depending on the type of sport, but even athletes who specialize in strength or endurance such as weightlifting and long-distance running will definitely not reach the level of Uma Musume.

Even among horse girls, Northern Black Horse's ability in this area is beyond ordinary people.

I took the test the day after arriving at Santou Mountain.

According to the examination results at that time, Kita no Xuanju's squat strength was about 400 kilograms, and his leg press was more than 1 ton and 300 kilograms, which was nearly % higher than the average level of Saima Musume.

This data far exceeds that of humans and has now been further enhanced.

Squat strength increased to half a ton, and leg press strength increased to one and a half tons.

There is no doubt that this is much higher than the average.

This also shows that this horse racing girl is indeed gifted in this area.

"Yes, trainer."

While An Jingzhen was deep in thought, Beibu Xuanju said again:
"Do I still have to eat that special nutritional meal later? Can't I add some fried chicken or something?"

As she spoke, the girl's face suddenly wrinkled, her eyebrows and eyes drooped, and her nose and mouth turned up, as if she had thought of something bad, looking a little pitiful. "No."

Yasui Zhen refuted without hesitation, "If you want to improve endurance and strength, diet control is necessary, and you must maintain a specific ratio of muscle and fat.

"The ideal standard is... taking body fat percentage as an example, it's best to keep it below 10%. Your current body fat percentage is a little over 12%."

Body fat percentage is one of the important criteria in various sports.

During most of the exercise process, the body consumes carbohydrate energy, and only in the final fatigue stage will it consume a certain amount of fat.

Unless you are doing sports that require you to withstand blows, such as boxing or wrestling, too much fat will affect your performance in all aspects.

In terms of ratio standards, probably due to their similar body structures, horse girls are similar to humans, with less than 10% being the ideal.

To achieve this standard, diet is crucial, but the taste will not be very good anyway.

Although we had nutritious meals during training in the past, they still had some flavor, and the school cafeteria would also offer meals to vary the food.

When doing endurance or strength training, you should completely avoid foods containing fat most of the time.

Foods that only contain protein and carbohydrates must not taste very good, so it’s no wonder that Northern Black Horse would complain.

"Actually, compared to two or three months ago, your body fat has dropped quite a bit."

Yasui Zhen continued: "But your weight has actually been increasing. If you don't control your body fat percentage, you will become fat.

"Take your current weight for example. Your current weight is..."

He was flipping through the medical report and was about to speak when his mouth was covered.

"Trainer!"

With an expression of embarrassment and annoyance, Kita no Xuanju covered An Jingzhen's mouth, and his eyes had a rare hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

She bit her lower lip and glared, looking around as if feeling guilty.

Seeing that there were not many people around and no one was paying attention to this side, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared again.

"Really? How can you talk about a girl's weight like that?"

She muttered something as if complaining, raised her hand slightly, and when she saw that An Jing didn't seem to want to continue talking, she withdrew her hand.

"No, don't say that, otherwise... otherwise I'll get angry."

“…OK, OK, no problem, no problem…”

He agreed repeatedly, feeling secretly amused.

In his opinion, Northern Black Horse is indeed much heavier than most horse girls, and her body fat percentage and body shape are actually quite good.

Especially the body fat percentage. Considering that one is already overweight and has a large frame, it is quite rare to maintain it at around 12%.

On this basis, as long as we continue to work hard, it will not be a problem to reduce it to below 10%.

But after thinking about it, I realized that telling a girl her weight is indeed a very rude thing to do.

And strangely enough, the trainer assessment and school requirements all have regulations prohibiting the disclosure of information such as the horse girl's weight.

After agreeing repeatedly, Yasui Zhen changed the subject.

"In short, we still need to continue with various trainings.

“But let’s arrange a parallel run today.

"Let's go faster and don't make your two seniors wait anxiously."
