The Fit Five: Raw Strength ADMIN MARCH 27, 2014 0 The Fit Five: Raw Strength Strength training is what makes us better athletes. It gives us a leg up on the competition when it comes to pushing, pulling, hitting, and throwing. Strength training is also critical for protecting the body from all the bumps and bruises we take along the way. To maximize our efforts in the gym for peak performance in the game, we tapped into our resident fitness expert, Sean Hyson, C.S.C.S. Q1: I’m looking to increase

Rugby- Scrum Half Strength One- Cardiovascular endurance Within my chosen activity of Rugby I believe that cardiovascular endurance is one of my biggest strengths. Cardiovascular endurance is often referred to as aerobic power. It is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles. As a scrumhalf, I need to have cardiovascular endurance to get to every breakdown in attack, to distribute to my teammates and also a rugby game lasts

QUESTION 1: Outline the energy system, of your chosen activity/movement in addressing the following points Source of Fuel: The Aerobic energy system primarily uses glucose and free fatty acids in order to generate energy. Glucose is produced through nutrients that are consumed where as fatty acids are a result of the fats stores being broken down. Efficiency of ATP production The Aerobic system is extremely effective at producing an endless supply of energy for sports of slower duration and sustained

Nuclear energy is energy than is generated from nuclear fission nuclear fission is when atoms are split. The elements used in nuclear power are Uranium and Plutonium. Fossil fuels are fuels that are formed from dead plants and animals. Nuclear power really got started in 1945 but scientists were studying radioactivity and their properties since 1895. The fossil fuel coal has been in use since 1,000 BC but during the industrial revolution is when Coal really got started. But fossil fuels are dirty

and jelly sandwich, hydrogen and geothermal energy compliment each others’ flaws and advantages. These two energies would bring many benefits to San Francisco, California. The costs, environmental impact, renewability, and accessibility would all contribute to how well the sources work in the area. The location in which hydrogen and geothermal energy would be used most efficiently is San Francisco, California. The best conditions for geothermal energy is extreme heat from within the earth, such as

when they hurt can also help not to miss all the profit you made with hard work. 4. creatine improves brain performance Creatine works in our brain in a way very similar to how it does in our muscles. Both the use of creatine phosphate (PCr) as an energy source; if not replenished, PCr levels can decrease during periods of activity. Like muscles when they get tired after 9-10 repetitions, your brain can fatigue during intense mental task, as in the case of mathematical calculations.In this sense,
