ESSENTIAL FITNESS

As we know athletes move throughout the world for their competition and training sessions. So they are encounterd by cold weather also and have to manage the risk of hypothermia because Cold weather facilitates the loss of body heat which can reduce body temperature. But it can managed by heat conservation or by increased heat production. Exercise and shivering increase metabolic heat production helping to offset body heat losses in the cold. Exercise increases peripheral blood flow facilitating heatloss, an effect that can persist for some time after exercise ceases. Prolonged exercises may lead to energy substrate depletion which compromise the maintenance of thermal balance during cold. The heat transfer coefficient is mainly influenced by ambient temprature, wind chill and clothing, when vasoconstrictor responses to cold are impaired body heat conservation declines. Chronic exertion impairs temperature control, when heavy physical activity in the cold is coupled with underfeedin...

Oral health is all about a healthy strong white and clean teeth free of debris , a pink strong gum and a good breath.       To most people, cure is better than prevention and that is one of the major problem in the world today.

A Brief Study Of The Importance Of Exercise To The Immune System  Science has shown that there are many organism that cannot be seen without the aid of the microscope. One way or the other, these harmful organisms can find their way into our body through varying degrees of body contact and openings. For example, they can find their way into the body through the mouth  while eating with un washed or not properly washed hands. Our hands cannot stay clean for 24 hours everyday. And we sometimes touch our eye with the hands as well. These organisms are known as viruses. The dictionary definition of virus : "(pathology) A submicroscopic infectious organism, now understood to be a non-cellular structure consisting of a core of DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat. It requires a living cell to replicate, and often causes disease in the host organism" .  The immune system helps to fight off this infectious organism and this is where exercising comes in. ...

As the top professional level, players may have to compete in different parts of the world due to their international fixture and travels across multiple time zones. So the travel schdule induces travel fatigue resulting from journey itself and a syndrome known as jet lag when multiple meridians are travelled. Travel fatigue refers to the feeling of tiredness and stiffness due to travelling for a long time, it can occur during airflight in northerly or southerly direction or after a long road journeys. It can be quickly reversed by rest, combined with light exercise and a shower or a short nap. JET LAG refers to a symptoms that accompany flights across multiple time zones, the condition is more robust than travel fatigue & is caused by a desynchronisation of circadian rhythms. The symptoms of jet lag includes intermittent periods of fatigue, lack of ability to concentrate, irritability, unusual mood disurbances, gastrointestinal upsets, and difficulty to sleep in appropria...

Hamstring strains usually occurs during maximum sprinting, when resisting knee extension, when the muscle is close to its maximum length and eccentric power generationis at its maximum. An important risk factor is poor warm up. Other factors include reduced range of motion and poor strength. If the hamstring muscle are weak in relation to the quadriceps muscle, the risk of hams injuries is also increased. HOW TO PREVENT HAMSTRING INJURIES: 1)WARM-UP:- Start with hamstring streching to prepare muscle for maximum effort. During warm up before any single training session and match especially before sprinting or shooting exercises, strech the hams. 2)FLEXIBILITY TRAINING:-  Again strech the hams to provide increase range of motion in the hip joint. If the range of motion is limited, strech the hams muscle regularly for 5-10 min at a time, at least 3 times a week during the preseason period and twice a week during the competition season. 3) STRENGTH TRAINING:-  Begin with...
