Measurements conducted on senior Olympic athletes found that the bone mineral density (BMD) for those who participated in impact sports was significantly greater than athletes who competed in low-impact sports like swimming and cycling. "While we know that exercise is vital as we get older, this study finds that the kind of exercise we choose can be just as important," said Vonda Wright, MD, lead author and assistant professor in the department of orthopedic surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "The findings show that a key to maintaining strong, healthy bones as we age is to engage in impact sports."

Stretch Yourself Errors in Training for Strength in Sports and Martial Arts by Thomas Kurz, author of Stretching Scientifically Secrets of Stretching Science of Sports Training , and co-author of Basic Instincts of Self-Defense. This is the thirty-fifh installment of my column on training. To read the previous installment click here This article lists errors that are commonly made in training for strength, yet can have lasting consequences. How many of you recognize your strength training experience? 1. Error: Beginning your strength training program with the greatest resistance you can overcome. 2. Error: Beginning your strength training program with high resistance/low repetitions. Beginners should initially refrain from lifting heavy weights because these weights will develop the strength of their muscles' contraction faster than the structural strength of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. So, if you lift heavy loads without preparing the muscles and fibrous connective tissue for it first, you can become sore and injure your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Begin your strength training program with low resistance/high reps to strengthen slow-twitch muscle fibers that stabilize joints and to improve blood supply of the muscles and their fibrous connective tissue, which speeds up muscles' recovery and is needed for increasing structural strength of their fasciae and tendons. After eight to twelve weeks of such structural preparation, you may start to build up muscle mass together with maximal strength, or concentrate only on developing maximal strength.

According to an initial study at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, not very. One example Nesser gives from the study was a correlation found between trunk flexion (abdominal strength) and sprinting. Core testing consisted of measuring how long the athlete could hold each of four different positions: back extension, trunk flexion, and left and right bridge. Strength variables consisted of bench press, squat, and power clean; and performance variables included vertical jump, 20- and 40-yard sprints and a 10-yard shuttle run. Overall, the results of the study suggested that torso stability is only moderately related to strength and performance. Source: Indiana State University Have a comment on this article?

May 16, 2005 The Olympic Sport Strength and Conditioning Staff has recently completed the performance testing for those teams not in-season in the spring. Using the previously established scoring system each team and individual athlete was ranked according to how well they performed on the combined test battery. The strength and conditioning staff also established top 10 lists for relative and absolute upper and lower extremity strength, using the squat and bench as the criterion exercises. The overall team champions for both fall and spring sports were wrestling and women's soccer. The individuals achieving the highest average point totals and becoming the overall individual champions were Sheena Gordon (Track and Field) and Noah Cosby (Track and Field). The strength awards went to Drew Forshey (Wrestling) and Lindsey Bond (Track and Field). The one repetition maximum record for squat for both males and females was broken this past year. The old male record held by Ben Connell (Wrestling) at 515 pounds was broken by Lee Superville (Soccer) who totaled 520 pounds. The old female record held by Ann Morrell (Soccer) at 320 pounds was broken by Sheena Gordon (Track and Field) and Casey Testa (Softball) who both totaled a new record of 340 pounds.

Email Password New Member? Forgot Password? Home Page Free Membership ... Contact Us Core Strength for Outdoor Sports Core strength, a growing buzzword in the fitness industry, can help set you up to enjoy the outdoors. Core Strength for Outdoor Sports Football and hockey players use core stability to withstand contact. Rotary power is expressed in the playing environment with the swinging of a tennis racket, golf club, lacrosse stick or throwing a ball. Outdoors, you are only as strong as your weakest link, and for most athletes this is the core. However, the core must be developed with the intent of improved performance, not just a 6-pack! Nothing in sport is done in isolation, lying down. These exercises can actually causelow back injuries by eliminating the back from the exercise equation, thereby removing the opportunity to strengthen. They also build abdominal strength in one plane of movement, setting participants up for injury when their sport demands reactive strength in a standing position or high velocity torso rotation. The contribution of core strength to outdoor activities is less obvious but just as significant, especially for winter sports in spring conditions. Snowboarders have an array of techniques and tricks, which involve getting air, long carving turns, switching stances, jumps, and spins. Aggressive ski turns over and across moguls are dependent on a contracted, stable core while the legs absorb forces. Skiers use rotary power to execute sharp turns at high speeds, and a reactive, strong core to maintain balance when suddenly navigating a patch of sticking spring snow. A strong core will allow cross country skiers to generate more force on each stride, expending less energy to cover a set distance.

He points out that when high post-exercise blood levels of insulin, induced by carbohydrate ingestion, is accompanied by increased levels of amino acids, induced by protein hydrolysate and leucine ingestion, net protein deposition in muscle should be the result.

Strength training, or weight training, means doing exercises that build muscle strength. To build muscle you can lift free weights, use weight machines, or do exercises that use your own body resistance (such as push-ups, pull-ups or sit-ups). Proper strength training makes muscles stronger by asking them to do more than usual. The body responds to this challenge by becoming stronger. Strength training must be done gradually and carefully, but can be done at any age. What are the benefits of strength training?
