    Exercise blunts your hunger during and after training. The adage to eat when you’re hungry isn’t wholly accurate when it comes to people who exercise a lot. That’s because longer bouts of intense exercise can mess with your hunger cues both during your training and afterward. When you’re exercising, your body naturally redirects your blood away from your digestive tract to send oxygen to your working muscles. This creates an environment that affects your gut microbiome and appetite hormones,Stacy Sims, PHD, an athlete performance physiologist based in New Zealand whose research focuses on women,tells SELF.

    Self-confidence is key to thriving in life. And what better time to start working on that than when kids are young? Sports have many benefits—physical, emotional, and mental—for the young brain and body. In particular, participating in youth sports and experiencing the successes, and failures, can help improve self esteem. But developing self-confidence only happens if there are coaches that have strong leadership skills. Self-confidence is important both on and off the field. During a game, a confident athlete is more likely to play harder and set more challenging goals for themselves. But a robust sense of confidence also lends young athletes a sense of personal ....

While the food and time traveling and cooking make weight loss harder, the deeper rooted problem many ....

  • Transgender student athletes: Six things coaches should know

    From elementary schools to the Olympics, questions abound about trans athletes, fairness, and equality, a topic we discussed last year,with insight from the clinicians in the Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS)at Boston Children’s Hospital. But kids and their parents aren’t the only ones who might find themselves faced with these concerns.

  • The Proper Way to teach Speed And Agility To Young Athletes

    In the matter of speed and agility training for kids, they certainly have a lot more going for them than adults. As soon as the nervous system is fully developed, it is in a state where peak performance can be achieved for speed and agility more easily than virtually any other aspect of physiology. Of course, depending on their age, kids cannot handle the same level of physiological load as adults. Even though they have some natural advantages and can often find fun and excitement in developing their speed, courses of training should be adjusted. It is important to “scale down” training so that kids will receive the maximum health and wellness benefit that they can without ....
