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. Indeed, as student athletics resume this year, there are still a lot of questions for schools and coaches as well, says LB Moore, a clinical research assistant at Boston Children’s, clinician, and a former coach. “You can have a trans-affirming culture at your school, but the sport culture more broadly can present ....

  • 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 ....

  • 5 Tips to Warm Up Effectively Before Workouts

    To stay safe and get the most out of your workout you must always include a pre-workout warm up before you begin and then finish with a cool down to get your body back into gear. During a workout, we can all go from zero to hero and push hard but the safe way to train is to bring the body’s temperature up slowly and loosen up the muscles before we get to do anything serious. That’s what a warm up is designed to do. Stretching, on the other hand, is done in order to improve overall flexibility. Once muscles have worked they are at their most compliant state and they let us stretch further than we normally would gaining more ground while we are at it. Below is an ....
