An exercise to work the legs when we are resentful knee

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

the legsThe knee is a delicate part of the body, because it holds the most tension throughout the day, as are those that support our entire weight. It is important that your knees always bear in mind when exercising, as it can go badly affected. Despite this, many times we often feel trouble of overloading in this part. When this happens we do is to stop training legs. To prevent this from happening we will show an exercise that respects the knee.

The squat exercise is a classic if there ever was when working legs, but can be very damaging if we speak of the knee, if we do not care when doing so. It is important to know that not only the squat is what we must do to work the leg, as this rule of thumb many people with chronic knee injuries can not do leg exercises anymore. For them, we propose an alternative.

To perform this exercise we have to do is equip with two dumbbells to hold them as a dead weight on both sides of our body. The form will grab them with your palms inward so arms are only a subject, never the way to raise the burden of these dumbbells. This position will make a simple movement which is what will allow us to train the legs without forcing the knee.

Similarities and differences between athletes and players

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

More and more fans to the game and although such people do not seem have anything in common with sport partners, a recent study allows us to discover the similarities and differences between athletes and players.

Assessing the psychological skills and physical fitness and the health of players and athletes, no one expected to find something in common between these two groups of people who seem so different, but to the surprise of many gamers have much in common with the athletes, although it’s not just their health or physical fitness, as we suppose.

The reaction rate, the ability to regulate anxiety and mental skills of gamers were very similar to those of the great athletes, therefore, here we find a great similarity to visual and mental agility that allows them to reflexes to certain circumstances.

However, in my view, the differences between players and athletes outweigh the similarities, because although we all know that gamers are not as physical fitness of athletes, their health was much worse than expected , as in the case of a player of 20 years, their aerobic capacity was similar to that of a 60-year-old, sedentary smoker.

To the surprise of all, gamers have a very low level of fitness, so, despite the advantages to the mental abilities that have the players, it’s best to limit the hours they spend sitting in front of a screen just moving your fingers to incorporate a little more to the world of motion.

You agree with me that this outweighs the low fitness and alarming that the best mental skills, therefore, for those who believed that playing games was not as bad for your health, this study will have to rethink the concept.
