3vs 1 –this isnt meant to gang up on William Broads book, it is more to enlighten people on the fence to the multifold benefits of yoga. Many sports endeavors have obvious side benefits….running-weight management; cycling lung capacity; cross training variety; swimming zero gravity muscle work…but yoga is actually a way of life that was developed by philosophers (more on 8 limbs of yoga later……for now lets stick to the fruits and veggies of our discussion. (I don’t like meat and potatoes)
Most general sporting tips for injury in young come from “surgical injury” or catastrophic injury to the player from NOT KNOWING DANGERS but this can be translated to adults….thus the importance of being informed properly and coach appropriately (health coach)
Perspective: National Estimates of the 10 Leading Causes of Nonfatal Injuries Treated in Hospital Emergency Departments, United States – 2010 In 2008, unintentional falls were the leading cause of nonfatal injury treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments among women of all ages, and rates generally increased with age. Women aged 65 years and older had the highest rate of injury due to unintentional falls (65.0 per 1,000 women), compared to 21.2 per 1,000 women aged 18–34 and 20.4 per 1,000 women aged 35–44 years. However, women aged 65 years and older had the lowest rates of each of the other four leading causes of nonfatal injuries, while women aged 18–34 years had the highest rates. Unintentional injuries sustained by motor vehicle occupants were the second leading cause of injury among 18- to 34-year-olds (17.5 per 1,000 women), while unintentional overexertion—which can be due to strenuous or repetitive motions such as lifting—was the second leading cause of injury among women aged 35–44 and 45–64 years (12.8 and 8.8 per 1,000 women, respectively).
On a more practical level….the injuries I see in the clinic have been listed….be aware I have also worked in training rooms at DePaul U, U of Central Florida and Cirque du Soleil…..blunt force trauma has been biggest catastrophy (30 ft fall at Cirque, back injury at DePaul, and Concussion at UCF)
Preparticipation physicals can help decide risk medically or musculoskeletally (depends on MD) This is a “Cheap” way to enlist a “Health Coach” since a physical may be covered by medical insurance (I “pursuade” patients to see physical therapy for rehab and “encourage” the PT to guide the patient in post rehab design….all on the insurance!!!!)When Insurance not involved-EP or Trainer will help tailor sustainable routine to keep you safe and work toward goalsProblem with depending on self awareness-Exercise knowledge depends on youth experience…. (athletes vs non athletes)Non athletes…..run or go to the gym (do the circuit and fail in 3 months)Mr Woodcock
Problems arise in giving advise for exercise when the Giver doesn’t know
Rate of perceived exertion is where most beginners will shoot for a level of fitness to 7-8 because sports psychology says we got something out of it.Arnolds size or Moses Mosop’s time (2h 5m 37s) 2011
I like the way John Friend speaks of two basic components in expression of a pose/styleMuscular and organic. Muscle you can figure out (power expression) Organic is more of a grace, inner being expressed via the physical message
I like to distinguish the radically different forms with martial arts conceptsAikido is an old art originating from Hombu Japan and current schools follow the same testing rituals as decades agoMMA is a very popular martial art, practical for competition but such a hybrid that testing and advancing depends on the teacher
8 is a magical number in ayurveda-a meaning of infinity. So essentially you need a “Yoga Concierge”….but don’t feel overwhelmed…..These questions should help…..If they don’t have time to answer….dont go. (Kinda like my theory on doctors….if they don’t have time for your questions…..they arent concerned about your life
Workshops usually involve healing or therapeautics for nominal price
I have the honor of treating the worst of the worst regarding sports injury and health. At the same time I have a deep love of yoga. Aside from the injury aspect….so many of the 20-50 year olds coming into my office come in with multiple medical problems the majority of which are related to stress
What are the standard ways people deal with stress?However, fewer than half (46 percent) of Chicagoadults exercise regularly and one in four (23 percent)do not exercise at all.
This is a slide on “invisible stress”Many of my CEO’s, Moms with 4 kids (all in grade school), executive assistants to the CEO’s, police officers….all say they don’t feel “stressed” when they come in for a physical. Then I find blood pressure is high, heart rate is tachicardic….and they are speaking a mile a minute on every ailment, occasional headache wondering if it is ok to have chest pain at 50 y/o.
The new movement in healing and longevity are saying relaxation and stress relief give just as much mind body benefits as vigorous exercise and can be done less often (30 minutes once to twice a day at home
Yoga is involved as one of the healing forms in ayruvedic medicine which goes hand in hand with yoga
My next 50 will be better than my last 50
