Aquatic Exercise Benefits Everyone!

Exercising in the water is a wonderful way to workout. Water is a fascinating medium for strength training, cardiovascular workouts, balance training, sport-specific exercise, and rehabilitative exercise.

Water provides resistance in multiple directions. It works muscles on both sides of a joint during the same movement. For example, in the water, a typical bicep curl will make both the biceps and triceps do work. Walking in water is double the workload of walking on land, if the same speed is maintained. Water provides twelve times the resistance of air. With the lungs submerged in the water, breathing is more difficult and strenuous, as the lungs must be inflated against pressure.

Sports Fitness

Those exercising in the water can perform plyometric exercises without the impact of doing them on land. They can also perform sport-specific skills, especially balance and agility drills, without the fear of falling.

Trainers and therapists who put their clientele in the water can work on the following: aerobic conditioning, strength and muscle toning, joint range of motion, proprioception and balance, core stabilization, posture, and functional exercise. Clientele who respond very well to aquatic exercise include those with arthritis, knee or hip replacements, spinal fusions, carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoporosis, pregnant women, and those needing stroke rehabilitation.

Athletes looking for a good cross-training workout also respond well to aquatic exercise. Runners and triathletes can get a workout with less impact on their joints. The client does not need to know how to swim to be able to train in the water.

There are some differences found in water exercise that those unfamiliar with it need to be aware of. When working out in water, an exercisers heart rate will be lower, but the cardiovascular benefits will be the same as when working on land. This is due to two reasons. First, water dissipates body heat more effectively than air; therefore there is less stress on the body. Secondly, due to water's hydrostatic pressure and decreased gravity when in the water, blood flow is less stressful on the body, so it becomes easier for the body to pump blood back to the heart. Despite these factors, the cardiac output (CO) is the same as working on land.

Exercising in water produces some less thought of benefits for pregnant women. The hydrostatic pressure of the water provides improved circulation, which leads to decreased pain, discomfort, and severity of varicose veins that form during pregnancy, as well as relieving some of the discomfort associated with increased swelling in the body. Exercising in water helps correct some of the postural problems associated with pregnancy. Pregnant women are also able to do abdominal exercises easier in the water than on land. They are able to move with more grace and agility in the water, which increases their self-image and makes them feel better about themselves.

Stroke survivors also benefit greatly when working out in the water. They are able to work on range of motion, strength, flexibility, and coordination. They are also able to work on posture, balance, coordination, and gait without the risks of falling. Aquatic rehabilitation reduces pain and stiffness and increases a stroke survivor's ability to relax. It increases mobility and strength for transfers and ambulation, as well as increasing self-esteem and confidence. Water provides resistance without needing to grip a weight or a band, if the patient has lost grip strength due to their stroke.

Water exercisers should be aware of some of the properties of a decreased-gravity environment in order to get the best workout. If the water is at waist height, fifty percent of one's body weight is supported by the water. At the chest, it is seventy-five percent. At the neck, it increases to ninety percent. The higher the water level, the less control one will have over his motions. In general, women will float easier than men because they carry more adipose tissue, especially in their hips. Athletes with more lean tissue in their legs will also have a harder time floating. Increasing the difficulty of movements is done by changing one or more variables: speed of movement, utilization of the surface tension of the water, increasing the lever length, changing the water depth, or changing the plane of the movement.

Water exercise can benefit anyone, whether they are athletic or not. By knowing the basic properties of water and how it can benefit your specific problem, exercisers, therapists, and trainers can add a new tool to their tool chest. The possibilities are endless!

Exercise To Lose Weight - Further Than Yesterday

True Story: In the autumn of 2006 I had become the fattest I had ever been. I didn't like it and I decided to do something about it. I decided to run a marathon. At the time I was 48 years of age and could not even run a mile, so to imagine running over 26 of them, seemed like Mission Impossible. But I came up with a simple idea and I called it:

"Further Than Yesterday"

Sports Fitness

Simply put, it did not matter how far I ran or walked on that first day, all I had to do on the second day, was to go further. On the third day, I needed to go further still. True story. This is what I did for the next SIX months, culminating in me completing the London Marathon in 2007 (from not completing a mile on that first day).

I went onto run the marathon in 2009 and plan to do so again in 2011.

The point of me telling you this story is that it does not matter where you are CURRENTLY at in terms of your fitness levels. It does not matter either your CURRENT physical capabilities. The point is that you can go 'further than yesterday' and you can have more exercise in your life.

Why bother? Why exercise?

Because it is just so good for you. Physically, mentally, spiritually. The benefits are just too many too list. But most importantly, you feel good about yourself. Your body shape alters, your diet naturally improves, you find yourself making healthier choices (why run 2 miles and then ruin the gain by eating that cream bun?). You will have more energy. Your sex life will probably improve. But if you don't like running, there are many other ways you can exercise. Here are just a few:

Gardening, swimming, any competitive sport, walking, cycling, (including walking or cycling to commute), rowing, climbing (including stairs), sailing, weight lifting, indoor gym, dance,aerobics etc. etc.

Even if you're in a wheelchair, it really doesn't matter. You can exercise. Just do it!

A Square Clubface at Impact - This Simple Exercise Shows You How to Get It

Everyone, even the top touring professionals, has a swing quirk that prevents the club from coming back to impact square, thus creating curved ball flight. That's all right as long as the curve is manageable. If the curve your swing creates is so large that it's sending the ball out of play, it's time to correct whatever is causing it. Here's how to figure out what you're doing and how to fix it.

From your address position, with the clubface square to an imaginary target line, swing the club back to where your hands are waist high and stop. Turn your torso back to the front, bring your arms to the front, and, without re-orienting your hands, lower the clubhead to the ground. If the clubface isn't square you've found where your clubface gets out of square. It's in your takeaway.

Sports Fitness

If the clubface is square, start over and swing back to where your hands are shoulder high and stop. Once again, bring your torso and arms to the front without re-orienting your hands and replace the clubhead on the ground. Is the clubface square? If not, you've found the area where the change occurs.

Keep enlarging your swing a piece at a time, to the top of your backswing and down to impact, until you find out where the club is getting out of square. When you find that place, the next step is to find out how to correct your swing so the clubface stays square at that point.

Swing to the point that you have identified as the place where your clubface gets out of square. We'll call that position 2. Now just turn your hands so the clubface is back in square, and swing slowly in reverse to the last place the clubface was square. This is position 1. Swing slowly between positions 1 and 2, back and forth, in such a way that the clubface stays square when you get to position 2. Find out what you have to do differently to keep that clubface square between these two positions. You'll do it mostly by feel, and it will seem odd at first because it's not what you're used to doing.

After you have learned to keep the clubface square between these two positions, start taking slow full swings, checking to see that the clubface is square when it gets back to impact. After a while you can start swinging a little faster, but not so fast at first that you can't still feel the correction you made. When you've finally learned to swing at normal speed, with the correction now feeling like a natural part of your swing, it's time to try out your new swing at the range.

Keep in mind that you have embarked on changing a long-standing habit. Expect it to take over a year of steady practice to make the change your new habit.

Blood Doping for Boosting Exercise Performance

As with any athletic event focusing on the extremes of human exercise performance, the Winter Olympics have allowed the ugly head of cheating in sport to rise again. Recently, police raided the Austrian ski team's residences in Torino on suspicion of blood doping to improve athletic performance. What is blood doping anyway and how does it improve athletic performance? This article provides some basic information on blood doping, explains the mechanisms for its ability to greatly improve exercise performance and provides pros and cons for it's use.

Doping in sports

Sports Fitness

Although the word hints at a relationship, doping actually has nothing to do with "dope" (the street word for marijuana). If this were the case, it may be that snowboarders would be under investigation instead of skiers!

Doping for exercise performance improvement refers specifically to "blood doping" - a means of cheating by artificially boosting red blood cell counts.

The doping procedure works like this:

A doctor draws up to 4 units (about 4 pints) of blood from the athlete's body - essentially making him/her anemic (low blood cell count)

The withdrawn blood is then centrifuged (spun very quickly) to separate the red blood cells (RBCs) from the other main component of blood - plasma.

The athlete's RBCs are "stored" under refrigerated conditions (the shelf life of RBCs is about 40 days)

The anemic condition stimulates the athlete's body to increase production and release of a hormone called EPO (erythropoietin)

EPO stimulates the replenishing of the "lost" RBCs

The athlete is given about 4 weeks to fully replenish their RBC count to pre-drawing levels

The athlete's stored RBCs are then re-infused into the athlete's body, boosting the RBC level higher

Why do athletes participate in blood doping and what is the logic behind it?

Quite simply - blood doping can quite significantly improve performance in long duration, endurance-type exercise such as cross-country skiing, skating and running.

The logic for its use it to boost the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood above normal levels providing more oxygen to the working muscles - allowing for a greater power output and a decreased susceptibility to fatigue.

RBCs contain a protein called hemoglobin - the primary "transporter" of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body including the working muscles. So if you boost the number of RBCs you also boost the amount of "available" hemoglobin to bind and deliver oxygen.

The pros to blood doping use:

It is highly effective and is estimated to improve endurance exercise performance at the elite level by about 4%

It boosts VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake) and reduces lactate buildup

The ergogenic (exercise performance boosting) effect with blood doping is immediate, making it ideal for a pre-main event performance - making pre-event detection more difficult

It may be easier to regulate hematocrit (percent composition RBCs of total blood volume) - a tightly regulated ceiling is placed on this value and is used for detection of both blood doping (and EPO use)

It probably decreases the perception of effort during exercise allowing for improved performance

The cons to blood doping use:

The blood doping process is quite laborious and quite severely decreases the training capacity of the athlete in the first few weeks after blood donation as the athlete is essentially anemic and cannot exercise as hard.

1. Health risks

With the increase in hematocrit the heart needs to work much harder to pump the higher viscosity blood - increasing the risk of overload damage to the heart such as myocardial infarct (heart attack)

There is an increased risk of developing life-threatening blood clots (stroke, heart attack, lung clot)

Blood doping involves transfusion using needles and sometimes donor blood, so there is a greater risk of infections such as hepatitis A and B and even AIDS

Since the athlete's RBCs are externally stored, there is a greater risk to the athlete if this has been done incorrectly (e.g. storage at the incorrect temperature, tampering, confusion/mislabeling)

2. Status risks

Detection of the use of blood doping may defile the athlete's reputation

Detection may result in him or her being banned from competition, as sport regulating agencies such as the IOC and several cycling governing bodies strictly forbid it.

Actually, blood doping in sports has become less popular recently due to the increased availability of recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) which as explained in an article on this website produces exactly the same effect as blood doping but is easier, less riskier and more effective (boosts endurance performance by about 6%).

In conclusion, this article has shown that although blood doping and rEPO may quite significantly boost endurance exercise performance, it carries with it risks to the athlete's health and status. It is unfortunate, but with increases in modern technology and molecular biology, it is likely that even these forms of "cheating" will someday be replaced with safer and less detectable methods.

Exercise and Kids: The Difference amid Training Children and Adults!

The greatest mistake a person can make when exercising with children is to treat them like little adults. Children are growing and developing rapidly. This means that certain physiological issues must be considered when they are exercising.

Bone Injuries That Affect Growth

Sports Fitness

When most parents think of children and weight training their first concern is the possibility of it affecting their growth. Contrary to popular belief, weight training will actually improve the bone and muscular systems. It is when children have a lack of qualified supervision that accidents occur. Actually, growth problems are extremely rare when children are given well-designed programs with qualified supervision. In fact, growth problems occur more frequently in dynamic sports such as Tennis, Swimming, and Baseball, than they do in weight training.

Another misconception about growth related injuries is that it will happen without you noticing it. It is actually quite painful because you are actually cracking the top of the bone. It will cease the growth in that bone only so if you get this injury in your upper left thigh (femur), only your left femur will stop growing. Your right femur will continue to grow.

Kids Have Higher Heart Rates and Lower Blood Pressure

A child has a smaller heart and less blood volume than an adult so the child's heart compensates by beating more often (per minute). A child's blood pressure is also less than an adult because this is directly proportional to body size. It reaches adult levels in their late teens.

Children Don't Perform Well Without Oxygen!

Children have a limited ability to perform anaerobic activities due to the limited production of the enzymes required for provide energy in the absence of oxygen.

Keep Kids Cool In The Heat

A child's sweat glands are not yet fully developed so they are less effective at cooling down through evaporation then adults. Make sure they drink lots of water and always exercise in light, cotton clothing.

Compare this to 400-500 with the pump pumps the cheap plastic that came with the exercise ball. This is my best recommendation.

2 With respect to a hand pump

If you use a hand pump, you try to use one big wave. This will help you pump more air into thethe ball with less effort. This is a more manual work than using an electric pump, but is still a significant savings of time and not to use the one supplied with the ball.

3 With regard to an air pump

This is basically the same as a hand pump, but you are more likely to have it somewhere around the house. In addition, you can go to any sports or department store and find there too. Once again, the same rule: the larger the wave of the pump, the effort is lesstaking it completely.

After inflating the ball must be that the intake air when the needle is removed, you may miss the ball in the air can be inserted. This is particularly important if you're not with an electric pump, because for 10 minutes, could inflate it to work, only to deflate it again in a few seconds. In this article we went over some good techniques to inflate an exercise ball. Now we try to.

Good luck!
