Post-Secondary Education Sleep

shared by Aninder S on 08 Jan 12 - Cached
  • Colleges are starting to wake up to how sleep deprivation cuts into the academic and athletic performance of their students.
  • All-nighters have become a habit in higher education, but a handful of small new studies
  • Sleep experts say the amount of sleep each person needs is largely dependent on the individual: Some people can get by with only five or six hours. The National Sleep Foundation says adults need seven to nine hours a night.

  • Sleep (deficit) built up over just five nights can significantly stress the heart
  • Many students believe that it's a "rite of passage" to stay up all night during college and that "it's kind of fun," Thacher says.
  • A study this summer in the journal SLEEP examined the heart conditions of 39 adults, ages 22 to 45, whose heart rates were tested twice — the morning after a 10-hour sleep and then again after five consecutive four-hour sleeps — using a portable monitor.
  • if you use all-nighters, your GPA is slightly lower on average,
  • "You can't do your best work when you're sleep-deprived
  • "It's not common knowledge, because if people understood how much of a difference (getting more sleep) could make athletically," they'd incorporate it more into their lives and not focus solely on nutrition and exercise.

Marketing Children Fast Food Canada

    The number one reason of our health concerns in Canada, is the fast food industry. It's not that Canadians are addicted to fast food, it's the way we are convinced to buy it. Marketing and business schemes are all a part of this world, but using these schemes on kids is cunning way to bring in costumers. Adults and parents need to explain and teach kids about fast food and how it is affecting the modern society. Fast food chains also keep their corporations under wraps, and don't conceal the truth about their products. We need to educate the youth of the future. A starting point may be the documentary the 11th Hour directed by Leila and Nadia Conners.

How Long To Notice Muscle Gain? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

strength program healthy notice fitness training muscle growth protein

  • The time frame in which you can expect to notice muscle gain depends on several factors: your current fitness level, the intensity and consistency of your workouts and your body fat percentage.
  • According to the National Academy of Sports Medicine--an organization that educates personal trainers--those who are new to exercise can expect to notice muscle gain within four weeks of beginning a strength-training program.
  • Everyone from sedentary adults to seasoned body builders possesses skeletal muscles, the muscles that support the movement of the skeletal system. Body fat acts like a blanket covering these muscles.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The American Council on Exercise suggests male athletes maintain a body fat percentage between 6 and 13 percent whereas female athletes should aim for between 14 and 20 percent. With this body composition, you can expect to see visible muscle gain more quickly.
  • Building muscle size requires fatiguing the muscle within eight to 12 repetitions of a given exercise in each set. Performing greater repetitions--20 to 25 per set, for example--yields muscle endurance, but this may not translate into visible muscle definition.
  • To maintain muscle size and strength, engage in at least two resistance workouts weekly. To increase your fitness level, however, perform strength-training workouts every other day. Contrary to popular belief, you do not build muscle while lifting weights; you build it during the recovery time. In the gym, you're actually breaking down the muscle and producing microscopic tears. The muscle repairs itself during the down time, yielding size and strength gains over time. Consequently, eliminating rest days to see muscle gains sooner will only backfire.
  • Because muscles are made of bundles of fibers, achieving muscle size and strength gains quickly requires targeting all of a muscle's various fibers. A single exercise, such as biceps curls, targets only one segment of the biceps muscle fibers.
  • To target the remaining fibers, work the muscle from different angles by performing other biceps exercises, such as chin-ups, hammer curls and seated angle curls. The National Academy of Sports Medicine recommends varying exercises with every workout, versus waiting until weekly or monthly intervals to make program changes.
  • Performing exercises that target multiple muscle groups simultaneously--such as a one-leg squat with reverse wood chop--burns more calories, maximizes strength gains and saves time.

      I think this is a great source of information. I learned that in order to see muscle gains you must have less than 10% body fat. I think to get to that goal you must have the proper diet. Also the more you change your workout the more the muscle will grow .
