I recently watched “That Sugar Film” and wanted to share some thoughts.

Why am I bringing up golf now, in mid October, when for many, the golf season is just about done?

Recently I read a post addressing how to work the rotator cuff muscles. 

Maximal oxygen uptake, often abbreviated as VO2max (there is supposed to be a dot over the V, signifying volume-rate), the O2 is the chemical symbol for oxygen, so we have the maximal amount of oxygen the body can use during physical exertion. 

We once defined the term “agility” as the ability to change direction quickly.

Baseball requires athletes to go from a “ready” position, whether in the batter’s box, the pitcher’s mound, infield, or outfield, to full on explosive movement. 

There are generally 7 major contributors to non-contact injuries acquired performing sporting like activities.

Static stretching is when an individual muscle is stretched to its end point and held for 15-60 seconds.

My answer: Definitely!  A general fitness battery usually consists of five physical assessments. 

Just how important is that post workout snack? Is it necessary to eat it right after my workout, even before I shower?

Earlier, I spoke about stress management as an important concept to integrate to avoid overtraining.

An athletic performance test battery is a series of valid and reliable physical tests that assess important physiological components which are necessary to meet the demands of the sport.

Just read a brief review in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research about recovery from exercise training.

Training consists of repeated cycles of overload and recovery that eventually result in positive adaptations, such as increased muscle mass, increased endurance and so forth.

There are several principles of strength and conditioning that are necessary for the athlete to take into account when training.

Its spring, outdoor sports season is near (here in New England that is, where we have been buried in snow)
