    Since the 1970s, hockey players have used dryland training to improve conditioning and skills for ice hockey. While skating is a huge part of the game and never can be ignored, players can develop leg strength and core strength and improve their overall skills with dryland drills. 1.) Pull-Ups vs. Lat Pull Machine: With a pull-up, a person uses their own body weight; this creates excellent body awareness, more importantly pull-ups require a great amount of abdominal strength (keeping the abs tight keeps you from swinging). The lat pull machine lacks these two important features. 2.) Push-Ups vs. Bench Press: Push-Ups again require a person's body weight along with lower body stabilization and contracted abdominals. Lying flat on a bench is a very non-athletic position and requires almost no leg or ab strength. 3.) Lunges vs. Leg Extension: Lunging requires a lot of balance and coordination along with strength from the glutes, quads, hamstrings and abs since you are standing and moving forward during the exercise. The leg extension does one thing; isolate the quads. Unless you want to walk around like Quadzilla there is no place for the leg extension in athletics. 4.) Squats vs. Leg Press: When done correctly no other exercise will develop more leg power than the squat. Since they are done in a standing position they require balance, stabilization, coordination, along with ab and back strength. The leg press lacks all of these factors. 5.) Hang Cleans vs. Shrugs: Hang Cleans are an explosive exercise that develops fast twitch motor units in the muscle. It is a full body exercise. Shoulder Shrugs isolate one muscle group the trapezious and involve little athletic ability to perform. Forget the shrugs! 6.) Squat Press vs Seated Shoulder Presses: Many athletes like to perform the seated dumbbell shoulder press. Try standing up and hold two dumbbells at your shoulders, squat down to 90 degrees as you begin to rise explode with a Dumbbell shoulder press using all

speed training cardio healthy body fitness exercise

shared by Wasif H on 02 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • In regard to athletics, speed is how fast an individual can travel from one point to another. It has to do with stride frequency, or the number of steps per unit of time, and stride length, or the distance that each step covers.
  • To increase your speed, your daily training sessions should place emphasis on improving your overall work capacity, ensuring that your joint mobility is normal, increasing the strength of your legs and core, developing running endurance and improving running coordination.
  • There are numerous drills that should be incorporated into an explosive speed training program that help to improve your coordination and running technique. Marching drills, skipping and arm swings are typically done prior to more intensive training exercises.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Because these are not physically intensive, you should try to fit these in every day. They’re meant to develop muscle memory and teach your nervous system and muscles how to efficiently work together, so the more repetitions you can get in of form drills, the better.
  • Form drills are very important, but it’s essential that you take the skills that you learn from them and apply them to actual speed and endurance drills.
  • There are different types of speed and endurance training workouts that you can incorporate, such as participating in extensive intervals, which means completing a high number of sprinting repetitions, or you can use intensive intervals, which require you to do less repetitions but at high-speed, very intense sprints, perhaps with added resistance such as running hills, or using a parachute for drag.

      This article is fantastic in banishing my concerns about meat in my diet. I always think that meat is a source of great fat but it tastes great. This article acts kind of like a cook book and tells you how should be eating your meat so that it's healthy for you and won't kill you! Also preparing your own meals is a good way to learn some cooking skills, save some money from going to McDonalds, and it's healthy!

What Do Protein Supplements Do To Young Weight Lifters? | LIVESTRONG.COM - 0 views

protein supplements creatine highschool important expensive

shared by Wasif H on 06 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Young weightlifters who want to emulate athletic heroes try to improve their own weightlifting skills and athletic motivation. Yet in the realm of protein supplementation, youngsters would do well to learn as much as possible about sensible nutrition
  • Young weightlifters should avoid relying on protein supplementation for muscle and strength gains, as excessive dietary protein might carry unwanted side effects, and protein supplementation can be unnecessary and expensive.
  • Teenage weightlifters immerse themselves in a demanding sport that emphasizes power and body weight. Already dealing with growth spurts and body changes, these teens may obsess about muscle gain. However, it is exercise, not high protein foods, that builds muscle -- although dietary protein provides the amino acids from which new muscle can be built.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Adolescents should obtain 13 percent to 14 percent of their entire calorie intake from protein. If an adolescent weightlifter's diet contains 3,000 calories, 14 percent of the total calories would be 428 cal.
  • diet containing protein-rich foods such as eggs, lean meats, beans, nuts and low fat cheese and milk easily fulfills the young weightlifter's requirements.
  • The National Kidney Association cites studies showing accelerated kidney damage in diabetics on high protein diets.
  • However, Body Building For You suggests that athletes regularly exceed protein requirements with no adverse effects, and that no study ever scientifically proved that high protein diets are dangerous to healthy individuals.
  • n 1998, "Journal of Nutrition" reported excessive protein metabolism encouraging calcium loss through excretion, yet in 2003 the same journal suggested that calcium is not always lost, possibly because phosphorous helps to enable calcium re-uptake by the kidneys -- at least in people with no prior health problems.
  • hus, protein supplements may not harm the young weightlifter, even if those supplements contribute to protein intake beyond recommended levels.
  • Still, two concerns remain: one is financial loss at the expense of weight gain. Expensive protein supplements are unnecessary if the young weightlifter includes protein-rich foods in every meal.
  • Another danger is hidden ingredients. Some of the most respected Olympian weightlifters have tested positive for banned drugs or steroids hidden in nutritional supplements that they believed to be protein or energy supplements.
  • Some cause physical and sexual characteristics to alter, and some hasten cancer. In short, young weightlifters aspiring to world-class competition must exercise the utmost responsibility regarding nutrition. It is never too early to start such discipline.

  • But if the sound of your early morning alarm leaves you more likely to slap the snooze button than slip on some sneakers, are you missing out on the best time of day to get active?
  • Given that most of us aren't active enough anyway, getting moving is more important than when we do it,
  • While there's a popular belief that exercising in the morning may be more effective for weight loss, Guelfi says we still don't have the scientific evidence to back that up.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Another common idea is that because heart attacks and other cardiac events occur more frequently in the morning, people who are at increased risk should exercise vigorously only in the afternoon.However in a 2007 scientific statement, the American Heart Association said cardiac events during exercise were relatively rare.
  • Research shows later in the day, when our body temperature and muscle strength are at their peak tends to be best for exercises that require substantial physical effort. But skill-based exercises, or ones that require fine motor control, are better performed in the morning.

  • What should you do first, cardiovascular endurance exercise or weight lifting? Or does this even matter? The answer really depends upon what you are trying to accomplish.
  • Exercise order may also matter if you are trying to achieve a specific goal, such as building muscle or improving sports skills, or if you have an extremely high level of fitness already.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Exercise you perform when your energy supplies are low is less effective and more likely to result in injury.
  • If Your Goal is Increasing Muscle Size and Strength Increasing muscle size can best be accomplished by lifting weights first when the body's main source of energy for muscle contraction (glycogen) is high. If you do a hard cardio workout before lifting, you deplete glycogen, which makes the workout ineffective.
  • If Your Goal is Burning Calories for Fat Loss If your primary goal is to burn as many calories as you can in a single session, it's probably best to do cardio first and lift weights next. There isn't any magic behind this; it's simply easier for most people to burn more calories per exercise session when they do cardio first.
  • If Your Goal is Increasing Cardiovascular Endurance In order to build and maintain cardiovascular endurance, you should perform endurance exercise first, when you have plenty of energy for long-distance exercise. Add resistance exercises 2 to 3 times a week, either after or separate from the endurance work in order to develop muscular strength and reduce your risk of injury.
