Vitamins unsuitable for resistance training

The sector of vitamin supplements is a controversial area with studies sometimes to favor other against and ultimately according to the results of analyzes obtained from Norwegian researchers would be unwise to take high doses of vitamins C and E for prolonged endurance training, like marathon, since it could make less effective the response of the muscles during the athletic exercise due to a lower production of mitochondria that can cope with the increased demand of the musculature. The study would be carried out by administering to a group of runners one thousand of vitamin C and two hundred thirty-five milligrams vitamin E, compared to a group taking a placebo and then proceeded to muscle tissue biopsy after resistance training that they did not any major change in travel times perhaps because mitochondria do not constitute a relevant factor in this type of performance.

Slower running for young people than in the past

Comparing the data relating to the speed and thus the travel times of the run of a large number of young researchers have found that their performance is lower compared to the time in which the respective parents were young, in practice takes about a minute more to travel the distance of one kilometer, whereas in modern societies has increased on average the percentage of fat mass and this lack of athleticism with time may cause cardiovascular problems. From studies carried out in the past to improve the speed performance in the race is not enough to be well trained and have a light body (condition always important), and should also make a program to increase joint flexibility, balance posture with abdominals, lower back, chest tonics and all the muscles in general, then there are specific techniques to support the foot and leg drive.

Short intense exercises to lose weight

Using an accelerometer to monitor physical activity of a group of people during a week so check the exercises needed to prevent overweight researchers would have found that short intense exercises more than long-term (for people who tend to be sedentary) can help prevent obesity in a percentage equal to approximately two percent for men and five percent in women for every minute of intense exercise. In the past had already been reported by some that it would be useful to prevent overweight in addition to long walks also do quite intense series of exercises after a run-up and stretching, then it should be considered that with regard to the mechanisms that lead to obesity in some cases may depend on the bacteria that inhabit the intestinal flora and the nutrition still plays a relevant factor than physical exercise at least.

Revelations about doping in Germany since 1950

German athletes of a large group of disciplines, including athletics and football could have made use of systematic doping, according to specific training programs both east and west, at least from what appears from a study by researchers in Berlin on these practices to alter performance in the races since 1950, then in West Germany in 1970 also a special institution for the so-called "sports science" (BISp) would take care to conduct specific tests and intensive on anabolic steroids, testosterone, estrogen and erythropoietin for decades. The athletes themselves have stated that they received about twelve hundred injections of a cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs called with the name of a famous rower champion. To the football players apparently were administering the same methamphetamine used by German soldiers during the Second World War, and even really young kids were doped.

Structure of the muscle fibers to the study

The myosin filaments that allow the contraction of the muscles would act as tie ropes at angle with radiant strength and not only in one direction and then the muscles would get its strength from a structured network of concentrating cells (such as easily visible in a bicep) the forces from many directions, at least from what appears to be an American study that would have identified this kind of cross-linked type muscle tissue rather than consists of long ropes as previously this discovery thought. All muscles including the heart in contractions seem to take advantage of the forces that are focused from all directions, and be aware of this aspect could be useful not only for muscle training for those seeking to get good results but also for the enhancement treatment of pathologies that may weaken the force with which it acts the musculature.

Few resources available for the anti-doping

Requests to find new cheats related to doping in sport is increasing every year, but apparently according to the statements of the authorities of sector resources to finance the various test decreases (as happen in a general level for economic reasons) and this could lead to paralysis of laboratory activities which are trying to expose fraud increasingly sophisticated. The anti-doping programs currently in place are accused of being inefficient, since less than one percent of the cases tested on two hundred and fifty thousand are positive and this means that something is not working properly in the procedures; also lacking personal checks and observers that can report the cheats. All the sports system should be involved in anti-doping initiatives, but most of the times it happens that is prefer not to know that a champion has tested positive for doping.

Equally useful exercises and massage after sport

By searching in twenty women undergoing investigation about muscle pain after performing resistance exercises for the shoulders Dutch researchers have found that after two days practicing ten minutes massage on a shoulder and ten minutes of physical exercises on the other fades pain with light more effectively in the case of the exercise in comparison to the massage. It is not yet clear what is the mechanism of action of massage and exercises to alleviate the soreness, at least compared to those who do not execute them, and it is assumed that they can act on the metabolic products associated with damaged tissue, then we must consider that although the effect of relieving pain by practicing light exercise is mild allows to play in the best way the various athletic movements. It should be noted that in the past it was common the adage of to say "work over it with stretching" to avoid the pain of the muscles hinder the movement.

Doping normal as eating pasta

According to the statements of a German cyclist winner of major races doping using erythropoietin, growth hormone and corticosteroids was for him a thing normal like eating a plate of pasta every day, it was just an organized system as a kind of daily routine in which the athlete was involved and the access to each drug was free so nonchalant directly from the box of medicines of the team workout. This popular cyclist is not proud of his choices, and noted that some prescriptions were "crazy" even using forgeries as for cortisone medicines, but some members of the team have also stated that these claims are baseless. Recently, another famous cyclist banned for doping after years of litigation had accused the team and all the sports to be fully aware of the situation.

Increasing use of steroids in children

The boys of fourteen would suffer to school strong pressure to the use of anabolic steroids by older fellow that can affect the choices in the path athletic and sporty, and in addition to using these substances really harmful to the body make use of protein powder and shakes to grow muscle mass (in this case it seems even girls) maybe with creatine supplements for boost the action. Students of Asian origin would seem (in America) to those who make greater use of these substances with anabolic effect which would in practice the synthetic version of the testosterone, a male sex hormone long used for targeted treatment in debilitated patients, but in other cases it may be replaced by a balanced diet to provide the proper amount of protein also cause serious side effects that can occur even after many years.

Jump on the trampoline supervised for children

A sport that is becoming quite popular as a jumping on trampolines used for amusing acrobatics and also allow to stay in shape could be dangerous for children, since from the large number of individuals monitored each year to make injuries many are children who reported fractures and sprains or even more serious damage. Researchers have found that it is more common injuries occur when more people are using the trampoline, and apparently the use of mats and pads not reduce much the percentage of cases in which children are hurt and it should be that an adult supervise them carefully in order to cushion the falls or to complete a somersault after a jump on the trampoline to avoid serious cervical damage, then the trampoline should not be placed over the concrete, but on soft surfaces such as the lawn and with safety nets.
