metabolic conditioning , metcon (abbreviation) informal

Ballistic exercises have traditionally been left out of metabolic conditioning workouts and training programs.

Described as a "high intensity metabolic conditioning workout" it claims to "tax all 3 energy systems" (who knew that there were that many?) and "acts like a fat incinerator."

To embrace the principles of equine behavior and metabolic conditioning is to understand what is required to maintain pulmonary health in horses confined to stalls being conditioned to race.

Many training programs which employ circuit training or metabolic conditioning now include ballistic exercises such as kettlebell cleans and snatches, Olympic lifts and variations, throws and plyometric variations.

The head trainer at CrossFit 3D, a CrossFit gym that Briggs attended in the past, described her approach to training in the early years as very high volume metabolic conditioning which resulted in her "smashing herself into the ground."

Long slow distance training is thought not to be effective when used in isolation by well-trained athletes, who in order to achieve further improvements in metabolic conditioning require higher training intensities that are not sustainable at the work durations associated with LSD.

As well as laboratory-based work, Metcon staff have also been involved in on-site optimisation testwork.

Also, more recently in 2000, a joint venture was established with Metcon for equipment supply for Diavik Diamond Mines Inc.

Metcon will continue to operate at the existing facilities by its current staff of six experienced metallurgists and technicians, who between them have over 100 years experience in the minerals processing industry.

METCON has an excellent reputation for conducting high quality testwork in similar areas to AMMTEC ie gold and base metals.

Metcon has commited at least 40% of the contract value to northern content, with the percentage of direct hire manpower of 56% and the percentage of sub-contractor man-hours of 60% northern.

AMMTEC is pleased to announce that Metcon Laboratories, based in Brookvale, Sydney, will as a result of this recent development now become part of the AMMTEC group.

METCON Research, Inc. bring their expertise to the field with sampling and testing services for existing operations, operating plant process optimization studies, placer and prospect evaluations, laboratory design and laboratory installation management.

The purpose of the first tests, which were undertaken at Metcon Research of Tucson, Arizona, was to determine initial leach and other chemical characteristics of the two main types of Bear Lodge rare-earth-element (REE) mineralization.

Metcon is a Joint Venture of Tercon Contractors Ltd. of Kamloops, B.C., North Slave Metis Holdings Ltd. of Yellowknife, and Rowe's Construction Ltd. of Hay River.

A number of preliminary tests have been run on the REE mineralization from the Bear Lodge project by Metcon Research Inc. and by SGS Lakefield in 2005 and 2006, respectively, on both oxidized and non-oxidized materials.

AMMTEC welcomes the staff of Metcon to the group, and encourages clients to contact either laboratory to enable us to help you with your metallurgical testwork requirements Contacts at Metcon are Steve Raynor and Graeme Stewart.

AMMTEC Limited and METCON LABORATORIES are pleased to announce plans for AMMTEC to buy the business of METCON, subject to the satisfactory outcome of customary due diligence.
