Your Sport Nutrition Meal Plan in Practice by Beth Mansfield
|
|
|
Physical activity can suppress appetite during
training and for a couple of hours after the workout.
This causes a lot of difficulty because athletes often
don’t feel like eating during, or right after their
workout. Hunger mechanisms can slow down
considerably.

Summer by Dominique Larocque
|
|
Funny how the heat sends some of us straight
into "BMW" mode, my acronym for "bitch, moan and
whine." Eh! Summer is here, let's embrace it. We are
so lucky to live in a country that offers us four
distinct seasons. Each season is unique in its
panorama of colours, temperature ranges and
elemental quality. Enjoy every moment of heat,
haziness and humidity and don't forget that in 6
months, you may be very well complaining about how
cold it is. Enjoy the seasons and what they have to
offer. There is no such thing as bad weather, just
bad choices in clothing.

Well-structured and varied workouts by Barry Publow
|
|
The body thrives on variety, and repeating the same
workout at the same speed does nothing to ensure
ongoing improvement. Interval training is the
cornerstone method for preparing the body for the
strenuous demands of competition, but to be
effective there has to be a proper ratio of work to
rest.
