4Music and Performance – Is there a role for music in competition and exams ?

Music and Performance – Is there a role for music in competition and exams ?

Apr 11, 2014

In 1998, the iconic Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie said he had been able to break the 2000m record by “synching his (running) cadence with the beat of the pop song Scatman” (by Scatman John), which was playing during his race at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena. At the time the benefits of using music to […]

5Does exercise boosts academic performance?

Does exercise boosts academic performance?

Mar 28, 2014

With exam season approaching, is it best to scale back your sport commitments and training or to put your sport first and fit your revision in around your training ?

Cows Milk : Healthy or bad for you ?

Mar 17, 2014

In my article ‘milk the new sports drink’, I looked at all the research that shows cows milk is a good food for fuelling sport, as well as for muscle building and weight loss. However, if you google “milk and health”, you get as many health risks as health benefits, so what is the story […]

Activity – Fuel bands, Fit bands and Pedometers

Jan 20, 2014

On the 14th January I have been wearing a Nike Fuel Band for a year. When a friend, a personal trainer, suggested I got one at the beginning of last year, I was sceptical. I wasn’t sure what benefit it could possibly have for him – he is one of the most controlled people I […]

10Why conventional dieting doesn’t work

Why conventional dieting doesn’t work

Jan 9, 2014

In the US 80% of girls have been on a diet by the time they are 10 yrs old. This is a disaster, not just because most of them have absolutely NO need to go on a diet but because science has proved that dieting causes the body to go into starvation mode, for metabolism […]
