Wilson SBR Strap Knee Pads
|
|
Last year I tried
finding Volleyball Knee Pads in St-Hyacinthe. Nothing good for
me, either too tight, or I felt my knees crushed when I squat. I
tried Gaby's, those from Walmart, from a sports store and a pair
we won in a raffle at the end of Gaby's Cometitive Volleyball
Leage year.
I was just about descouraged when didn't find any larger ones in
Granby today. Even the XL were too tight. Then at the last
minute I decide to give these a try, even though they were
marked "Junior/Jeune". They fit! and even better, they were on
sale! (19,99 $ instead of 24,99 $) I WOULD like to have, or at
least try the "adult" size though instead of the "youth" |
The
innovative SBR™ Knee Pad is one of the first removable Velcro®
knee pads designed with a volleyball player in mind. The padded
knee pad is made with breathable Lycra® material treated with
an anti-microbial protection for complete softness and
protection during play. |

Inflammation nation- is inflammation good or bad?
exerts.. |
Over the past year or so, the idea of making sure
not to inhibit the training effect has risen in popularity. The old
concept was that as soon as the workout was done, everything possible
was done to recover for the next workout. In practicality this made
sense, as if we could recover for the next training bout, we could
get more intensity and volume out of that session. Now, the pendulum
is swinging to the other side. |
Take NSAIDs, impair adaptation. One particular
study by Machida M and Takemasa (2010) found that giving a dose of
ibuprofen to mice who were on a 4 week “running” program, blocked
mitochondrial adaptations that would normally occur.
However, in humans the results are more mixed.
Several studies (Peterson et al. ) have shown no impact, while a
few (Trappe et al.) have shown actual improvements in strength
characteristics, particularly in older adults. Unfortunately, most
of the human studies have been in regards to strength gains and not
endurance adaptations.
The speculation for why the difference in
outcomes rests in the participants and design of the studies. In
the studies finding improvements in performance or strength, the
participants were all older (50+). So there is speculation that
taking a NSAID allowed for improved strength gains because of
either a decrease in pain perception from taking the drug, or by
impacting protein degradation. It makes sense that older people
would have shift in how their bodies adapt. Older individuals are
generally have a higher state of inflammation, meaning they
generally have low level inflammation to some degree going on.
It’s possible that by taking NSAIDs, they dampened this down so
that now the body can respond like it normally would to a workout.
Additionally, if pain perception is modulated

23rd 2014 7h00 PM
VOLLEYBALL with Gabriel at EURÉKA
school ( 14 players ) play until 10h00 — last 2 games
4 vs 3
***I tell myself (over and over) that I come for the social aspect of
the evening and that tomorrow and Saturday I have big classes at the
gym that I really like and can go all out, so I don't mind too much
when I don't get to play as much as I'd like to. / Besides, my right
knee hurts in the back when I straighten it as I move back.. scary.
***A first for me, à couple of times I manage to call out to whom I'll
pass. with the name, last week I could just say " à toi".. and before
that, nothing.. so I'm quite happy. What I have to do is when we are
in position "think" of the two possible players' names.. to have them
in my head already.
***lend my Running shoes to MT who forgot them.
