Train for Life and Sport. Moving Better: From the Ground Up. As children we were taught to sit up straight and somewhere along the line we learned that flexibility was important too, but why? The bottom line is movement. Whenever a joint is restricted from a full range of motion it initiates a chain-reaction of compensation both above and below the `rusty` joint. When our joints become restricted, and our movement patterns altered we predispose ourselves to injury. To provide an example of the above:.

The Making of a Durable Endurance Athlete. Endurance sport requires serious repetition that can last for several hours in training and racing. Compromised mechanics, repetitive postures, muscle imbalances, and range of motion restriction will inevitably lead to injury. Injury risk can be minimized if the appropriate steps are taken. Here are three steps to improve durability:. 1 Improve Movement Quality. There is a critical 20 minute window following exercise to ingest a carb/protein mix to enhance recov...

The Need for Speed. for the Endurance Athlete (Part 1). A typical mistake endurance athletes make is spending too much time training endurance. That may sound silly, but hear me out. If you are racing in an endurance event (running, cycling, triathlon), you'll note that awards are given out for who finishes the race fastest! So it makes sense that you should not only have the endurance to complete an event, but you should be fast. Speed and endurance are actually inter-related. Consider that your lac...

If you don't assess, you guess. (Where many trainers fail). Today I had a conversation with a gym member regarding her program with another trainer. To be completely honest I was disgusted but (sadly) not entirely surprised. After further investigation it was determined that the trainer in question had performed no assessment prior to commencing her program. IF YOU ARE NOT ASSESSING, YOU ARE GUESSING! It's irresponsible and risky, not to mention that results are not guaranteed (they are random). A seven ...

Strength for Endurance Athletes. There is a difference between completing an endurance event and being able to do it well. Training constantly at one tempo during your training will ensure that you don't go any faster come race day. Improving your anaerobic system will pay dividends in improving your racing speed. Strength training is one of the keys to improving performance and reducing injury. 1 Debunking the Myth:. The fear of most endurance athletes is that strength training will slow them down due t...

Training for Sport and Life: Compression Tech (CEP Sleeve Review)
http://sport-synergy.blogspot.com/2011/04/compression-tech-cep-sleeve-review.html
Compression Tech (CEP Sleeve Review). Compression gear has been one of latest crazes in gear for endurance athletes (triathletes in particular). I have to admit that I get excited about this stuff. There is a lot of hype behind compression, but not a lot of research to back up the plentiful claims of improved oxygen supply, muscle stabilization, and minimized muscle vibrations as well as decreased lactic acid accumulation and improved performance. Till next time. Keep training right! Steve Di Tomaso....
