Heat stress index • Measure of the effects of heat and humidity on the body
Maintaining water balance • Water bottles
Avoiding dehydration • Acclimatization- adaptation to weather • Fluid intake-sweat up to 3 liters/hr • Before, during, after!!! • Clothing- • Light colors • Loose • Sun block • Light weight • Limits- • Know thyself!!! • Check weather • Use your brains!!!
HIGH TOP-ANKLE SUPPORT & CUSHIONING • LOW TOP-FLEXIBILITY
STRIDE IRREGULARITIES Understanding your personal pronation type is crucial to choosing the proper running shoes http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-327-7727-0,00.html
Normal pronation • outside part of heel makes initial contact w/ ground. • foot "rolls" inward, comes in complete contact with the ground • supports weight without any problem • rolling inward of foot distributes forces of impact • this movement is called "pronation," and it's critical to proper shock absorption. • At the end of the gait cycle, you push off evenly from the front of the foot. • http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-327-7727-0,00.html
Overpronation • the foot rolls inward too much • shock isn't absorbed efficiently • front of foot pushes off ground using mainly the big toe and second toe, which then must do all the work • http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-327-7727-0,00.html
Underpronation (SUPINATION) • Foot rolls out too much • impact concentrated on a smaller area of foot (the outside part), not distributed as efficiently • In the push-off phase, most of the work is done by the smaller toes on the outside of the foot • http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-240-319-327-7727-0,00.html
MUSCLE INJURIES • CRAMP • SIDE STITCH • IMBALANCE OF MINERALS (ELECTROLYTES) • DRINK LESS SUGAR LOADED DRINKS • DRINK LESS CARBONATED DRINKS
CONNECTIVE TISSUE INJURIES • TENDONS: CONNECT MUSCLES TO BONES • LIGAMENTS: CONECT BONES TO BONES • SHIN SPLINT-INFLAMATION OF TENDON OR MUSCLE IN LOWER LEG(TIBIA) • OVERUSE • IMPROPER FOOTWEAR • JOGGING ON HARD SURFACES • INCORRECT FORM
CONNECTIVE TISSUE INJURIES • STRAIN: PULL OR RIP IN A MUSCLE OR TENDON • SPRAIN: TEAR OF A LIGAMENT
TREATMENT FOR CONNECTIVE TISSUE INJURIES: • RICE FORMULA • R=REST • I=ICE-20 MIN ON 20 MIN OFF • C=COMPRESSION-WRAP • E=ELEVATE
Cardiovascular Endurance(CARDIO-RESPIRATORY) • & working together For long periods of time
Checking heart rate • RHR (RESTING HEART RATE) • HOW? • WHEN? • WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
TARGET HEART RATE ZONE • “fat burning zone” • In this range you are burning the most fat
