ADRENALINSKA ZAVISNOST

Adrenalin je zanimljiv hormon koji je cesto pojacano prisutan u svakodnevnom zivotu a da toga nismo ni svesni. Sta je on, kako deluje, koliko je dobar a koliko opasan saznacemo u danasnjem tekstu.

Nadbubrezna zlezda stimulisana nekom aktivnoscu koja izaziva stres dovodi do lucenja adrenalina. Nekim ljudima u tim situacijama dovodi do osecaja uzivanja i osecaja da zive zivot punim plucima, a nekima do osecaja straha i neprijatnosti. Zajedno sa kortizolom koji se isto luci u nadbubreznoj zlezdi, ovi hormoni se isto zovu i stresni hormoni. Adrenalin takodje deluje na jetru i izaziva povecano oslobadjanje glukoze u krvi koja povecava energetsku spremnost naseg organizma.

Adrenalinski sportovi dovode do lucenja dopamina koji se takodje luce i tokom seksa, uzimanja alkohola ili psihoaktivnih supstanci. U kombinaciji sa adrenalinom dopamin dovdi do toga da se ljudi u ekstremnim situacijama nekotrolisano smeju ili vriste.

Psiholozi govore da je nekim ljudima ovakav vid aktivnosti sa puno rizika i savladavanja svojih strahova neki vid terapije. Ovakvi ljudi obozavaju mesavinu osecanja straha i uzbudjenja.

Pojacano lucenje adrenalina dovodi do suzavanja krvnih sudova, povecanog broja otkucaja srca, povecanje pritiska krvi na krvne sudove i niz drugih fizioloskih promena kako bi se organizam izborio protiv novonastalog stresa.

Adrenalinski zavisnici su uglavnom ljudi zavisni od ekstremnih sportova (paraglajding, skijanje, skakanje padobranom, alpinizam i drugi), naravno adrenalin se luci i u drugim sportovima i drugim situacijama. To su hiperaktivni ljudi koji su u stalnoj potrazi za novim izazovima koji ce povecati ili zadovoljiti dovoljnu dozu adrenalina u organizmu. Najveci strah kod ovih ljudi je DOSADA.

Cesto izlaganje stresogenim situacijama dovodi do ADRENALINSKE INSUFIJENCIJE tj smanjene funkcije nadbubreznih zlezda sto uzrokuje smanjeno lucenje adrenalina. Simptomi: nesanica, hipoglikemija, vrtoglavica, umor, slaba koncentracija, ceste prehlade. Za uspostavljanje normalnog lucenja adrenalina potrebno je: dovoljan i kvalitetan san, meditacija, zdravi obroci, izbegavanje nikotina i alkohola, pametan trenig.

Direktor Googla Alen Justas je u strogoj tajnosti, samo 2 godine nakon sto je Felix Baumgartner skocio sa visine od 39km, skocio sa 42km i oborio rekord u slobodnom padu probivsi zvucni zid. To govori o granicama ili ne, adrenalinske zavisnosti.

Probijanjem sopstvenih granica naravno mozete upoznati sebe nauciti mnoge stvari postati bolja osoba ali nekad ako se nema granica i kontrola posledice mogu biti kobne pa cak i sa smrtnim ishodom. Svedoci smo da zarad mediske paznje i lajkova mnogi su zavrsili svoje zivote tuzno, padanjem sa litica ili drugim nezgodama. Zato pamet u glavu i adrenalin moze biti najzdraviji oblik terapije u ova luda vremena samo ako se izaziva na pravi nacin.

PSIHOLOŠKI PRISTUP U PERSONALNOM TRENINGU

Znamo da tokom celog života učimo i stičemo iskustvo. Ono je jedno od veoma bitnih stvari kako bi bili uspešniji u svom poslu, posebno u edukaciji i poslu kojim se ja bavim PERSONALNI TRENER. Danas ćemo malo posvetiti pažnje ovoj temi.

The-Mental-and-Psychological-side-of-Weightlifting

Ljudi su različiti, što po kulturi, religiji, ponašanju ili drugom. Posebno se odnosi na multikulturalna društva i fitnes centre gde u danu možete imati klijente iz Kine, Australije, Saudiske Arabije, Irana, Južne Afrike pa Bangladeša ili vegetarijanca iz Indije, kao što sam ja imao prilike. Sve te kulture trebate do nekle poznavati da bi znali kako da sa psihološke strane pristupiti kijentu. Trenutak kada naiđete na problem i klijent nije zadovoljan uslugom ili svojim napredovanjem a možda je sam kriv zato što se ne pridržava smernica koje ste mu dali, tada treba da na pravi način objasnite gde je problem i kako ga rešiti.

Još jedna veoma bitna stvar koju primećujem kod mladih i “instant” trenera jeste NESTRPLJIVOST da se postignu rezultati. Konkretno “šamaranje” kako mi volimo da kažemo vežbama i loša taktika i pravovremena primena određenih vežbi u određenom trenutku. A da ne pominjem vežbe za koje ne znamo čemu služe i koje mišićne grupe angažuju. Trening i rezultati treninga su proces koji traje i traje. Organizam se navikava i adaptira na promene, brani se od stresova i šokova koje mu zadajete. Iskustvo će vam pokazati kako da ublažite sve neželjene posledice na organizam.

Trening treba da bude pre svega delotvoran, pravovremen, taktički i na kraju zanimljiv. Često se ovo poslednje stavlja u prvi plan, što je veoma kratkog daha. Nećete imati stalne klijente koji vam veruju. Kao iskusan trener ćete znati na koji način da sa klijentom ostvarite kvalitetan odnos. Imaće poverenja u vas, biće iskreni prema sebi i prema vama, i lakše ćete naći način za postizanje cilja. Često se dešava da harizma i energija trenera privuče klijenta a ne teorija i znanje. Klijent neće razumeti previše stručnih reči niti će ga interesovati vaše znanje iz anatomije i suplementacije. On traži proste informacije koje će mu pojasniti proces. Vi ste tu da razmišljate umesto njega a on taj koji će vaše trenerske sposobnosti pretočiti u delo.

Uštedite vreme koje vam je potrebno da ostvarite ciljeve: psihološkom pripremom i pristupom i stečenim iskustvom.   

SUPPLEMENTS – what to take, what to skip

A frequently asked question is what customers should take for weight loss, muscle mass, recovery… in order to progress in training process. Most in fact seeking a shortcut to success through “adequate” supplementation. We will try to explain this phenomenon through the upcoming text.

We shall pay more attention to recreation and people who do not have much experience with training, nutrition and supplementation, and they who would have to devote a little more intense physical activity. We assume that those who are a little longer in fitness industry, know the effects of this supplement on the human body and how they should be consumed.

Pharma industry, which includes the production of supplements for a training, course aimed to sell more products. So than when you walk into a store that sells supplements, you do not know what to look before you buy something, and a majority of them is effectively moot. There are very few things that actually do have effects. A lot of nutrients such as L-Carnitine ( “increases energy and accelerates the burning fat”) body produced in sufficient quantities – how much can you use it, the body is saturated with carnitine and automatically eliminate excess, so you extra entry will not help in achieving results. The same things is with Fat Burners, which are the most commonly asked question. Most of them contain a large dose of caffeine or ephedrine that can cause unwanted effects and special effects on the heart. A large number of products have a negative effect on the liver, especially for beginners in which body has not created a strong defensive position on the introduction of new nutrients in large quantities.

Supplementation for recovering the body, especially the muscles after intense training certainly makes sense, as prevention of catabolism, degradation of muscle fibers, regeneration and recovery of the same. This includes Proteins that we have in different flavors and shapes. Glutamine (amino acid that is used for binding proteins in the muscles and prevent catabolism), BCAA (essential amino acids), Omega 3 fatty acids (reducing bad cholesterol levels) … fall into a desirable form of additional and adequate supplementation for more effective training. For beginners and amateurs the best option is to use a high-quality diet or a diet your body recover from training, prepare the body for the next or decrease the weight and bring his line to perfection. There is a various natural sources of vitamins, minerals, protein, caffeine…

Think with your head, find out the right places with the right experts, develop a plan and program of activities and diet, and be persistent in achieving goals. Remember everything takes time and patience, and that every shortcut has negative consequences.

3D BODY SCANNING and FITNESS – Lugano Conference

Imao sa čast da prisustvujem i budem deo organizacije najprestižnije 3D Body Scanning Konferencije, koja se održala prošlog meseca u Švajcarskoj u gradu Luganu, u organizaciji kompanije Hometrica Consulting. Renomirane firme iz svih delova sveta kao i razni Univerziteti imali su priliku da predstave svoje projekte i inovacije na polju 3D Body Scanning Tehnologija. Primena ovih tehnologija je posebno zastupljena u medicini, plastičnoj hirurgiji, modi, tekstilnoj industriji, filmu… ali za mene i za ovaj portal najbitnijoj oblasti Fitnesu, Zdravlju i Sportu. Ukratko ćemo u ovom tekstu predstaviti najinteresantnije inovacije i budućnost 3d Body Skenera.

I had the honor to attend and be a part of organization one of the prestigious 3D Body Scanning Conference, which was held last month in Switzerland in Lugano, organized by Hometrica Consulting. Renowned companies from all over the world as well as various universities had the opportunity to present their projects and innovations in the field of 3D Body Scanning Technology. The application of these technologies is particularly represented in medicine, plastic surgery, fashion, textiles, film … but for me and for this portal the most important field is Fitness, Health and Sports. We briefly in this paper to present the most interesting innovations and the future of 3D Body Scanner.

Između ostalih, izdvojila su se predavanja (the lecture is): 

  • Adapted Performance Sportswear – FTI Lab, University College Ghent, Ghent, Belgium 
  • Towards Developing a Method for Identifying Static Compression Levels of Seamless Sports Bras using 3D Body Scanning – Adriana C. GOREA, Fatma BAYTAR Iowa State University, Ames (IA), USA 
  • Changes in the Volume and Circumference of the Torso, Leg and Arm after Cycling in the Heat Determined Using 3D Whole Body Scanners –  Department of Human Movement Sciences, Faculty of Behaviour and Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, MOVE Research Institute Amsterdam, The Netherlands
  • A Parametric Model of Shoulder Articulation for Virtual Assessment of Space Suit Fit –  NASA Johnson Space Center, TX, USA 
  • The Cycle of the Shape Descriptor Suite: When do People Become Overweight? –  Novaptus Systems Inc., Chesapeake VA, USA; 2 The Hague Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center, Norfolk VA, USA 
  • Analysis of Tight Fit Clothing 3D Construction –  University of Zagreb, Faculty of Textile Technology, Zagreb, Croatia; 2 University of Maribor, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Maribor, Slovenia 

Pored predavanja održala se i praktična prezentacija skenera i njihova primena. Vodeće svetske kompanije kao što su BOTSPOT, SIZESTREAM, CAESAR, STYKU i druge su predstavile i pokazale kako se upotrebljavaju skeneri i koje benefite na ljudski organizam imaju, kroz poboljšanje performansi kod sportista do konstantnih i učestalih praćenja promena u organizmu kod rekreativaca (procenat telesnih masti, količinu vode, obime delova tela, visceralne masti i rizik od srčanih oboljenja, gustina kostiju, telesna težina…). Skeneri mogu na osnovu dobijenih parametara i učestalosti fizičke aktivnosti, da veoma precizno predvide nivo napredka i vreme za koje se mogu ostvariti zadati ciljevi. Veoma precizni rezultati i snimci pomoću mikro kamera mogu pomoći profesionalnim sportistima: kod mišićnog disbalansa, kod oporavka, kod preciznog izvođenja zadatog pokreta i unapređenja tehnike izvođenja.

In addition to lectures took place and practical presentation scanners and their applications. Leading global companies such as BOTSPOT, SIZESTREAM, CAESAR, INTERFACE and others are presented and shown how to use scanners and benefits on the human body they have, by improving the performance of athletes to constant and frequent monitoring of changes in the organism with the amateurs (percentage of body fat , the amount of water, volumes parts of the body, visceral fat and risk of heart disease, bone density, body weight …). Scanners can be based on the parameters and frequency of physical activity, envisages very precise level of progress and the time for which they can achieve set goals. Very accurate results and capture using micro cameras can help professional athletes: for muscle imbalances, for recovery, higher precision in performing a given movement, and improving the techniques involved.

Poseban utisak je ostavila kompanija BOTSPOT sa svojim OPTAone modelom koji ima mogućnost da u komori snima objekte od najsitnijih do veoma velikih dimenzija (min 80 x 80 x 80 mms do max 2200 x 1200 x 1200 mms), rezolucija max 16k, vreme skeniranja  0,01 sec, 64 senzora, 2 x 32 po 20,4 MPS sa 30 x optičkim zumom. Cela konstrukcija košta oko 150.000 evra i statična je tako da sportisti nakon testa naprezanja u roku od 15ak minuta dolaze na skeniranje u prostoriju gde je skener smešten. Na slici možete pogledati kako skener izgleda.

A special impression left a company BOTSPOT with OPTAone model that has the ability to shoot subjects in the chamber from the smallest to the very large size (80 x 80 min x 80 mms max 2200 x 1200 x 1200 mms), 16k max resolution, scan time 0, 01 sec, 64 sensors, 2 x 32 to 20.4 MPS with 30 x optical zoom. The entire construction will cost about 150,000 euros, platform is static so athletes after test within 15 minutes come to scan room. On the picture you can see how a scanner looks.

Zaključak je da je 3D Body Scanning budućnost, da će se sve više i više primenjivati u raznim oblastima a posebno u Zdravlju, Fitnesu i Sportu. Ove tehnologije iz dana u dan rastu i razvijaju se i pretenduju da postanu deo svakodnevnih naših aktivnosti. Lakše ćemo doći do cilja ako preciznije znamo šta i kako treba da radimo!

The conclusion is that the 3D Body Scanning is future, it will be more and more applied in various fields especially in health, fitness and sports. These technologies day by day grow and develop and aspire to become part of our everyday activities. It helps to reach our goal if you know precisely what to do and how to do!

BEST OF CYCLING

Traveling around the world, I noticed that the bikes is became more common as a form of recreation or as a main means of transport. It does not matter who is the layer of the population concerned, starting from students to the director, the case is the former mayor of London, their daily tasks and distance perform by cycling. It seems to me that people are slowly realizing the benefits of this means of transport: no crowds, park where ever you want, preferably assemble your bike and take in hand, a great form of recreation and most importantly saving. In this article we will deal with cycling as a form of recreation, lifestyle and benefits to the human body.

I’m glad to see that people are more and more riding bicycles, especially in larger cities. An excellent example is Switzerland, where despite the hilly and mountainous parts, each part of the country is crisscrossed by cycling paths, so if you have the stamina and time you do not need a car. Although it all depends on the weather conditions, but today under the onslaught of industrialization and production of new materials and types of clothing biking is available and possible everywhere. Thinner tires wider tires, a smaller or larger frame, larger or smaller transfer, material preparation, now it’s all available to make it easier to overcome the field in which you are driving. For those with a little poorer fitness level or high age there is the help of electric motors and easier driving and mastering the climb.

As a form of recreation cycling firstly presents an enjoyment of nature and terms, as well as activity in the fresh air, which is very important for all body functions. Strengthening the lower extremities, especially the quadriceps and calf, shaping muscle, fat loss, weight loss, accelerate metabolism, improve endurance and stamina, improved cardiovascular and respiratory organs, improve blood circulation, reduce mental stress, by time make reduction in heart rate at rest – the heart works slower, more efficient and more productive, the heart muscle makes stronger …all of this is advantages for this type of activity. With bike distance that can pass are truly impressive.

Depending on your condition and fitness level, it is best to ride a bike every day for one to two hours. In such a long process after a certain time (after 20 minutes of activity) there will be degradation of fats. With a lower pulse, 130 beats per minute, drive will be longer and degradation of fat better. If is pulse higher around 160 beats per minute the speed is higher, the ability to quickly get tired is more possible, shorter time for degradation of fats, reduce your speed and pulse will go down. Speed that is recommended is about 20 km / h.

Get a reliable bike, price is irrelevant because it is all in the legs and endurance, in the case of a long drive need to get the bike windscreens, because after the first hour you will feel the pain of sitting, get a comfortable seat, sunglasses for insects, a bottle of water with you always, and of course music that will break the monotony of pedaling. And a very important thing in society is riding a bike is always interesting, because cycling is a collective sport!
