Main content:
In the section The Podiumwe will find some news and good advice, but also several mini articles of great interest, such as «Omega 3 Fatty Acids and sport”, “Questions and answers about the use of the power meter in cycling”, “The physiological profile of the athlete”, “Benefits and advice for practicing SUP”.
In Athletics, «Running technique: methodology for an analysis at the foot of the track». In the previous article we analyzed the evaluation of the race from the side filming, but an important part of the inappropriate technical actions are detected when analyzing the frontal filming. To determine the cause and the need to modify the pattern of certain alterations that we perceive in the frontal filming, an assessment by the doctor or podiatrist is required, but it is the coach who must detect it at the foot of the track and make the first assessment. We will focus on the alterations related to the loss of alignment of the hip, knee, and ankle joints, the stability of the pelvis and the trunk during support, as well as the differences between one leg and the other.
In triathlon, “Perform to the max optimally adjusting the intensity zones to the surrounding conditions». Environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, elevation, wind, and terrain have a significant impact on your training and competition. Technology allows us today to be able to have these variables well controlled so that the performance is the maximum in each situation.
In Physiology, “Free Radicals: Physiological Friends or Pathological Foes?”. James Bond, in the movie “Never say never”, already warned us about these compounds, free radicals. In it, the famous agent 007 labels them as “toxins that destroy the body and the brain”, but what is true about this? Very surely you have heard of antioxidants, it is enough to go around the supermarket or talk to friends and family to hear that fruit is good because it has “many antioxidants”. However, we don’t really know what we mean when we talk about them, and it has a lot to do with what James Bond meant.
In Nutrition, «Metabolic flexibility for sports performance». Metabolic flexibility is defined as our body’s ability to effectively and efficiently switch between different types of nutrients (fat or glucose or other substrates) as an energy source, using different metabolic pathways to maximize energy efficiency. This mechanism has a crucial role in preventing diseases such as diabetes or obesity, weight loss, and improving digestion.
Also in Nutrition, «The importance of sleep in sport: nutritional factors». Sleep comprises a third of an athlete’s day and is one of the fundamental pillars in recovery and daily health in athletes. Sleep is comprised of different cyclical phases throughout the night and is regulated by different neurobiological processes. Currently, the human being faces a decrease in the hours and quality of sleep, which leads to an increase in the possibility of injury and a decrease in sports performance, decreased cognitive performance, memory, alteration in psychological states and moods. , among others.
And a third article from Nutrition, “Hydrate properly to boost your performance”. Dehydration triggers negative consequences for both performance (eg lack of concentration or decreased strength and stamina) and health (eg cramps, dizziness, exhaustion). In this way, high-intensity exercise sessions and long durations can accelerate fluid loss through sweating. But without a doubt, the determining factors that can increase the risk of dehydration are climatic conditions of high temperatures and humidity. Therefore, an adequate hydration strategy can prevent dehydration and maintain adequate sports performance.
In Trail Running, «Performance and age in Ultra Trail». What is the best age to achieve the best performance in ultra trail? It is a question that those of us who are in this world have surely asked ourselves on some occasion. We are going to try to discover in this article if age is a limiting factor of ultra trail performance.
