"Strength is the mother of all qualities" The abil

"Strength is the mother of all qualities"
The ability to apply the right amount of force directed in the right angle is critical to successful sprinting.

Our youth program starts in the 6th grade, most kids in the area receive very little supervised strength training. Providing a distinct advantage to those that seek it.

Physics is unbiased. If you can not apply the necessary force in the appropriate time then performance will suffer. Take for instance the necessary force at take off into a hurdle.

A male weighing 160lbs would need to produce 2024N in force or about 450lbs of force in
.124 of a second! (Mann)

A sprinter of the same weight at top speed in maximal velocity would need to produce about 1670N or 370lbs of force each step! In only .08-.09 of a second!

The ability to not only be able to apply the force, but also resist the force upon landing are critical to performance. Eccentric strength is essential for sprinting. It will help reduce the ground contact time, amortization time (how long they stay on the ground), & yielding of the athelte.

We asses this in standing triple hop by measuring, distance, ground contact time, & landing angle. In a strong athlete you will see each jump that they land in a higher position. If the athlete has poor amortization they will yield or "cave" landing in a squating position.
One of the best tool I've used to increase Eccentric strength is kbox It is a game changer for 2 reasons.

1. IMCA- it forces the athlete to go all out. By using the app & providing values we want them to hit, it forces the athletes to "figure" out how to apply the maximum force they can.

2. The Eccentric overload. In angle specific position. Phd.mikeyoung has extensive data collection on the kbox. They are a great resource for more information. When we use the kbox we will load in many ranges. The values I like to see need to be similar to the values necessary to the forces they apply on the track
1200-1400N for females
269lbs-314lbs which is (2.5BW in vertical force equation from Dr.ken clark.)
Load- .25 interia plate
Peak speed - 1m
Avg speed- .8m

Once athletes have hit these values I have seen a direct transfer to the track.

Let’s talk EMFs. What are they? Are they harmful

Let’s talk EMFs. What are they? Are they harmful? How do I protect myself?

Many people don’t think of EMFs (Electromagnetic Frequencies) when they think of health, but in today’s modern technological era, they are more prevalent now more than ever. They are everywhere from your phone to your microwave to your car. These frequencies are foreign to the human biological system, so our bodies see them as “intruders” and fight against them as such. They make our cells “sticky” and clumped together. This can be dangerous due to the carcinogen effect this has on the cell. It is inevitable that we will come in contact with these harmful forms of radiation on a day to day basis, but there are steps you can take to protect yourself or at least limit yourself from EMFs.

Grounding: Being outside barefoot has been shown to mitigate the clumping of the cells and proven to provide a natural electrical charge from the earth that closely works in a positive manner with our biology. The PEMF mat service we provide at Vive has the same effect of grounding but it is amplified to enhance results. Optimally, you want to stay grounded outside for a min of 30 minutes, or on the PEMF mat for a minimum of 8 minutes. PEMF holds a international patent for clearing Electrosmog lasting 8-12hr

Unplug: Unplug your wireless router at night. Make your bedroom your sanctuary, free from harmful light, EMFs, phones and computers. EMFs have been shown to reduce the natural production of melatonin, leading to insomnia and other sleep related health issues. Turn your phone on airplane mode, & place several ft away from where you sleep.

Supplementation: There are a few supplements that have been shown to help the body “fight off” these harmful EMFs. Magnesium at doses as low as 400-600mg a day have been shown to protect the cells from being damaged by radiation. A high quality multi-vitamin, fish oil and high antioxidant shake(fruits and greens powder) are other top supplements to help the body stathe off these free radicals.

Don’t be afraid to come in contact with EMFs. It is inevitable. The best thing you can do is take the steps above to protect yourself and educate yourself the best you can!

Vitamin D3 ☀️ Vitamin D3, also known as chole

Vitamin D3 ☀️

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is responsible for many biological functions in the body. It is essential for optimal bone and arterial health as well as keeping the immune system healthy. What many people don’t know though is D3 needs vitamin K for absorption. Taking a vitamin D supplement without the proper ratio of absorption of vitamin K can lead to negative effects down to the cell level. Inappropriate calcium depositions can occur in soft tissues such as arteries and joints due to the lack of vitamin K intake. Increasing the dose of vitamin D will increase the need for vitamin K.

Most people do well with 2,000-5,000iu of vitamin D a day along with adequate sun exposure. The sun activates the vitamin D in our bodies, causing it to perform its biological functions. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the regulation of calcium levels and distribution. The two types of vitamin K that are needed for vitamin D absorption are K1 and K2. K1 is a naturally occurring form found mainly in leafy green vegetables, while K2 is a product of soy fermentation and metabolizes slowly throughout the day.

Vitamin D3 has also been shown to increase testosterone levels in men. Low vitamin D levels can result in a compromised immune system resulting in being sick and getting infections often. Sleep can be affected with low D3, causing anxiety and depression. Get your vitamin D levels checked and keep optimal levels by supplementing with good quality supplements and getting lots of sun exposure!

BDNF 🧠💪

Cognitive decline is typically a factor involved with the aging process, however physical exercise has been known to modulate cognitive function through cellular mechanisms that encourage and enhance learning, memory, and brain plasticity. Brain derived neurotrophic factor or BDNF, is a promoter of brain development, and levels are increased 2-3 fold after a bout of exercise. Both moderate intensity and high intensity interval training will increase BDNF, however, the effect is more pronounced with HIIT. Long-term exercising has an effect on BDNF as well. When full- body HIIT training was completed for 3 months, participants showed an increase in serum BDNF concentration. A study by De la Rosa et al., 2019 compared middle aged trained (15+ years of exercise) to young sedentary and young trained subjects, and the middle aged trained group showed higher levels of resting serum BDNF.

Furthermore, long-term exercise training showed higher memory function as measured by the Free Cued and Selective Reminding Test (FCSRT) in middle aged men. The FCSRT is used to measure verbal learning and memory and is used in predicting dementia as early as 5 years prior to onset.

With the prevalence of cognitive diseases, prevention is a key aspect especially when modifiable lifestyle factors such as midlife hypertension and obesity, diabetes, physical inactivity, smoking and depression are attributable to diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Glutamine: 🧉 A powerful amino acid for optimal

Glutamine: 🧉
A powerful amino acid for optimal gut health.

Leaky gut is a term commonly used to describe compromised integrity and the breakdown of the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosal barrier. The disruption of the gut barrier function allows toxins, allergens, and pathogens access into interstitial tissue leading to inflammation injury to the tissues of the gut. During a normal lifespan, 60 tons of food passes through the intestinal tract. The GI is under constant challenge of maintaining integrity and many gastrointestinal diseases such as IBD, IBS, Crohn’s, and celiac disease are caused by a compromised gut.

Glutamine is a vital nutrient for mucosal protection and is considered the most important nutrient for healing “leaky gut syndrome”. Glutamine is the preferred nutrient for enterocytes (cells of the intestinal lining) and colonocytes; and low levels of serum Glutamine are correlated with intestinal barrier disruption.
