Bulletin Board Get Hip To HIPAA The NATA has set up a Web page to help athletic trainers stay abreast of the latest developments with the federal Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Members of the NATA Government Affairs Committee met with representatives from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in early November to help clarify how the law will affect athletic trainers.

Reports from that meeting, as well as the latest news and links to government Web sites clarifying the law, can be found at www.nata.org/committees/gac/hipaa/hipaa.htm.

And, in the next issue of Training & Conditioning, look for an indepth story on how athletic trainers are implementing the new HIPAA guidelines.

Overtraining Linked to Depression A recent study published in Sports Medicine finds that overtraining syndrome and clinical depression have similar etiologies. The authors say that the two “involve remarkably similar signs and symptoms, brain structures, neurotransmitters, endocrine pathways, and immune responses.” They go on to recommend treatment strategies for athletes caught in an overtraining syndrome that include antidepressant medications and psychological counseling.

The full citation for the article is: Armstrong LE, VanHeest JL, “The Unknown Mechanism of the Overtraining Syndrome: Clues from Depression and Psychoneuroimmunology.” Sports Med 2002; 32:185-209. Sports Medicine is available on-line to subscribers. Abstracts are available via the major indexing services, including BIOSIS, Index Medicus, MEDLINE, and SPORT Database.

Predicting ACL Tears A four-year study of West Point cadets provides evidence that athletes can be screened for their risk of non-contact ACL injuries by examining their physiology. According to the researchers, athletes were at increased risk of ACL injury if they had decreased notch width, decreased eminence width, and decreased notch width and eminence width indices. Women were also at increased risk if they had five of eight signs of hyperlaxity and higher body mass index.

Exploding Training Myths Researchers recently got to the bottom of a controversy in weight training. According to Marquette University’s William Ebben, MS, MSSW, CSCS*D, and Northern Michigan University’s Randall Jensen, PhD, FACSM, for squat exercises, adding chains and elastic bands to weights does nothing to increase their effectiveness compared to traditional barbell exercises.

Proponents of adding chains and bands to barbells have theorized that these devices increase loading during the ascent phase of the lift. But in measuring ground reaction forces and examining EMG data for the quadriceps and hamstrings among 11 NCAA Division I athletes, the authors found no significant difference in these measurements if bands or chains were added to the barbells. Their findings were published in Volume 16, No. 4 of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

The journal, published by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), is available to subscribers online. If you’re not a subscriber, you can still view abstracts of articles from the NSCA’s various journals by following the links from www.nsca-lift.org/publications.

Foot Massage for PF There are a plethora of treatments for plantar fasciitis, ranging from surgery to lower leg braces to ultrasound. Now you can add a cheap and low-tech treatment to your armamentarium: massage. The Fall 2002 issue of Massage Therapy Journal (Vol. 41, No. 3) includes an article describing an in-depth series of techniques for alleviating plantar fasciitis that may be just the ticket to keeping your athletes on their feet, pain-free.

Comeback Athlete rushed by ambulance to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

At the Cardiac Center at Children’s Hospital, doctors diagnosed him with Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy (FDC), a disease that occurs when the heart muscle becomes weaker and begins to enlarge. As the illness progresses, the pumping action of the heart weakens, sending less and less blood and oxygen to the body. FDC is inherited, and the diagnosis is made when two or more members of the same family develop the disorder. Long’s father passed away from FDC in his 20’s.

Doctors tried medications they hoped would reverse the disease to no avail and Long was told that if he was going to survive, he would need a heart transplant. Three months passed while doctors searched for a compatible donor.

“Erik saw other patients who were waiting for transplants die. He watched them get sicker and not survive,” says Borisuk, a pediatric nurse practitioner who spent a great deal of time caring for Long. “I think seeing that happen was a major ‘snap out of it and grow up’ thing for him. He’s seen a lot and he has a maturity and emotional strength beyond his age.”

While he waited for a donor, Long’s health continued to decline. His weight fell from 188 to 133 pounds and his spirits began to drop. “He was lying in bed waiting, and unable to condition himself,” says Borisuk. “He watched his body and everything he’d worked so hard for deteriorate. Being an athlete, that was very difficult for him.”

“There was one night when I was at the point of giving up,” Long says. “I was just really tired, and I felt like there was no reason to go on. I hit the wall that night. And that was the night they came in and told me I had a donor.”

Long’s donor was an anonymous man a few years his senior. “All I really know about him is that he was 20 or 21, and that he was a biker,” Long says.

“That, and I guess he must have been a pretty good guy.”

August 22, three weeks after his surgery, Long went home. He took with him an arsenal of anti-rejection medica8 ◆ T&C J A N / F E B 2 0 0 3 ◆

tions, a newly developed case of diabetes resulting from the transplant, and orders from his doctor that football wasn’t in his future.

The teenager who had spent so much of his life in the weight room hardly recognized the young man who stared back at him in the mirror. Instead of the daily runs he was used to taking, he struggled to walk across the room. “I couldn’t do stairs,” he says. “I could walk a little bit on flat surfaces. And I could flip the remote on the TV.”

ATHLETICBID.COM

Months went by, and the 16-yearold gradually began to feel that a life so altered was really no life at all. “I started to get really, really depressed,” he says.

Desperate, he turned to Borisuk.

“He said he wasn’t sure if he wanted to go on,” she says. “The central, core focus of who Erik is is sports. For him, there wasn’t any point in looking to the future, because what had mattered in his life was already gone. He gave me the impression that he no longer wanted to live.”

Intense discussions between Borisuk and Paridon followed. “We asked ourselves if it could be made safe for him to play,” Borisuk says. “We ultimately decided that if he could get himself back into shape, we would allow him to try.”

Paridon and Borisuk set specific goals for Long as conditions of his release to play football. They administered a stress test, and told him he would have to significantly improve his results. They also told him he was going to have to dramatically reduce his body-fat percentage and increase his muscle.

“Steroids and inactivity had caused him to gain a lot of body fat,” Borisuk explains. “His chest, abs, and legs were really out of shape. He had to lose the fat and turn it into muscle, but without doing a lot of lifting. It was critical that he accomplish this aerobically. That’s a harder thing to do, but we told him this was the way he had to do it.”

The medical team also added an important caveat. He had to accomplish his rehab without allowing his grades to slip.

Long listened to what would be expected of him and didn’t flinch.

Borisuk says he left the clinic that day “a new kid—it was like he’d gotten his dream back.” Long then set his sights on playing the fall 2002 season.

“I started walking on the treadmill at home,” Long says. “To begin with, I had to walk very slowly. Then I’d walk up and down our steps, over and over.

I’d walk around the block, or even just to the corner and back if that was all I could do that day.”

Comeback Athlete He progressed to treadmill running and thought he was doing great until two of his high school football buddies stopped by to visit and someone suggested going outside to toss the ball around. “I told one of them, ‘Let me cover you,’” Long says, “and I started running as fast as I could. I’m a running back, and let me tell you, I used to be fast. Well, I fell flat on my face. I guess I was thinking I’d be right where I was before I got sick, but I wasn’t.” More determined than ever, he increased the amount of running in his program.

Four months after his surgery, Long returned to school and to the weight room. He wrapped his hands around the bar—no weights—and tried to lift. Nothing happened. He began lifting morning and night.

When summer preseason training rolled around, Long was there, a Children’s Hospital’s medical release form in hand. “He’d proven himself,” Borisuk says. “He followed exactly what we wanted him to do. We put him on a treadmill and made sure he could

Preseason workouts made Long tired and brought on some anxiety. “I was scared,” he admits. “I had 100 questions. What if someone hits me and my heart stops?”

Fortunately, he wasn’t going it alone. When Souderton Athletic Trainer Jena Mueller found a letter in her mailbox one morning from

Children’s Hospital explaining she’d be monitoring an athlete with a heart transplant, her first reaction was, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Her second reaction was to educate herself for the challenge.

“I started reading everything I could get my hands on that dealt with cardiac transplant,” Mueller says. She also tapped into resources from the local medical community, using knowledge she gleaned from a group of orthopedic doctors affiliated with Children’s Hospital.

Mueller also realized that Long himself might be her greatest resource.

“Erik is very easy-going and willing to talk,” she says. “He’s the kind of athlete you want 20 more of because he educates himself and has the self-discipline to limit himself.”

Mueller made sure she and several others on staff were trained in the use of Souderton’s two automated external defibrillator units. “I pretty much live with mine, and I’m constantly refreshing myself on how to use it,” she says.

Comeback Athlete “It’s about mental preparedness, always thinking, if he goes down on the field, here’s what I’m going to do first, here’s what I’m going to do second.”

During practices and contests, Mueller’s primary task was checking in with Long as often as possible. “It was especially important because of the diabetes he had developed,” she says. “I’d monitor his blood sugar, and make sure he had his insulin with him.

Communication with the athlete is absolutely critical.”

She talked to Long’s mother too.

“We spoke numerous times,” she says.

“She knew if he was with me, he was safe.”

Apparently, Long felt the same way. “I could go to games and feel safe, because Jena was there,” he says.

“She’s played a major role in me being able to play, and in the safety of me playing. We’ve become very close. I guess she knows me better than anyone else at this point.”

Another person keeping a close eye on Long was Souderton Assistant Football Coach Dan Houser. “My job is to coach the players to play from the heart,” Houser says. “And the thing that struck me during the preseason was that Erik is a perfect example of what I was trying to teach. There he was, in the heat and humidity, throwing everything he had into it, even though every step was difficult for him.”

Although Souderton struggled through a losing season, “Erik played every game. And every time he was in there, he gave 110 percent. He attacked holes and was as aggressive as he could be. I never saw him back down,” Houser says.

Now that the season has ended, Long is looking toward the future. It’s not hard to tell whether his ordeal has shaped his goals. He plans to attend Temple University, majoring in pediatric cardiac care and minoring in communications.

Long has one more dream in his pocket as well. “I want to play football at Temple,” he says. “I know that may be pushing it, but it’s another goal I can look forward to working toward.” ◆ 12 ◆ T & C J A N / F E B 2 0 0 3 ◆

Development and Application of the Magnum M43 Posture Bench and M699 Glute Bench John Rewolinski C.S.C.S., Director of Education & Special Projects, Magnum Fitness Systems

T

he development and application of Magnum Fitness Systems equipment is rooted in the relationship between human dynamics and the effectiveness, efficiency, and functional capacity of core strength.

The first law of dynamics states that all human movement is an interaction of forces. Accordingly, if people -- sanitation workers, secretaries, school teachers, housewives, athletes, all people -wish to generate any degree of force through human movement patterns that require any degree of speed, ballistic movement, and/or acceleration, any force they generate will be the product of work that is done to combat externally applied forces. Those externally applied forces are encountered in nature in many ways every day. They take the form of gravity, air, friction, and ground reaction force.

The hips, abdominals, low-back, and proximal hamstrings are the core muscles of the human anatomy. If conditioned properly, the core muscles can provide approximately 65% of the force the human body can potentiate. However, if the extremities are strong but the core muscles are weak, those extremities will not be able to generate sufficient force to produce consistently effective, efficient movement patterns. Deficient core strength is a fundamental reason for the manifestation of performance deficits, and a catalyst in the development of injuries. The functional capacity of the core contributes greatly to the anatomical stabilization and freedom of motion that results in pain-free simple and complex human movement patterns.

THE MAGNUM M43 POSTURE BENCH The core strength concept is central to the development and application of the Magnum M43 Posture Bench. The posture bench is designed to unload the core musculature while simultaneously providing core stabilization as a basis for assessing, developing, and improving strength and range of motion of the agonist and antagonist muscles, which contribute to upper extremity movement.

The posture bench presents an opportunity to experience concentric and eccentric upper extremity force capacity with minimal core force contribution. As a result of its unique design, the posture bench will stabilize the core while minimizing any compensatory force(s) or counter-movement(s) within the hips, abdominals, low back, and proximal hamstrings. This allows maximal isolation of upperextremity movement.

Upper extremity isolation is of paramount importance in developing strength with minimal risk of injury. Weak upper

extremities have often resulted in over-compensation from the lowback, hips, hamstrings, and/or abdominals. Enhancing the upper extremity via posture bench isolation not only improves movement efficiency, it minimizes the likelihood of acute and chronic low back, hip, and hamstring discomfort and/or injury. The versatility of the posture bench allows for the application of individualized human strength curves through the sagittal, transverse, and frontal planes. The rotator cuff, shoulder girdle, bicep, tricep, forearm, and scapular stabilization can be isolated through flexion, extension, rotation and lateral motion(s) or combined motion(s) to develop and complement the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific strength-training objective. The posture bench presents a low-risk, pain-free way to develop, improve, and/or rehabilitate individually specific upperextremity functional movement patterns that cannot be replicated via conventional free-weight, plate-loaded, and selectorized machine exercises.

THE MAGNUM M699 GLUTE BENCH The development and application of the Magnum M699 Glute Bench mirrors that of the M43 Posture Bench. Its innovative frame adapts to all limb lengths to maximize individual movement specificity. Similar to the posture bench, its strategically located support pads maximize comfort while reinforcing core stabilization to potentiate hamstring, glute, and piriformis isolation. Once again, the insightful application of core stabilization has been designed into the glute bench, giving the equipment the versatility to adapt all movement planes to specific human strength curves. The opportunity to isolate semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, gluteals, and piriformis muscles can complement flexibility, strength and rehabilitation protocols that are specific to sciatic nerve, hamstring, and knee functional movement. The bench adapts to individualized hamstring and glute flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction movement patterns.

In its effort to enhance ease of use and complement individualized strength capacity, the glute bench has a conveniently located ankle weight storage rack located directly below the upper extremity stabilization pads and handles. Its design reflects the total accessibility of the posture bench. Both are easy to enter and exit to allow for efficient, effective, safe, comfortable, and specific exercise.

The Magnum M43 Posture Bench and M699 Glute Bench are unique, insightful, essential, and valuable training tools for every facility and individual striving to promote and achieve a fitness level that permits a comfortable, pain-free lifestyle.

“Who Else Wants To Attract More Baseball Business?”

Free Report By Former Big League Pitcher Reveals How To Evaluate, Treat And Functionally Train The Baseball Pitcher For Explosive Power With Flexibility

I

f you are interested in expanding your practice or your business by helping the baseball pitcher and throwing athlete, then this might be the most important message you will ever read.

My name is Dick Mills. I pitched for the Boston Red Sox during the late 60’s and early 70’s.

How would you like to be able to thoroughly assess, treat and then functionally train every baseball pitcher and throwing athlete so that his performance goes way up and his risk of injury would go way down?

In 1995 I developed a step-by-step instructional audio/video pitching program for parents, coaches and pitchers called Pitching Mastery. The program was developed after I helped my son, Ryan, become the top high school lefty in the nation in 1995. Ryan went on to be drafted in the first round by the Minnesota Twins.

My Son’s Shoulder Injury Woke Me Up My son, Ryan, was eventually drafted in the first round in 1998 out of Arizona State, by

the Twins. But shortly after he signed he was shut down with a shoulder injury. The diagnosis

by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham was a weak rotator cuff.

That’s when I decided to learn as much as I could about the relationship between mechanics, balance, core and stabilization strength, functional training and flexibility. I didn’t want this to happen to Ryan again and I also hoped I could help other pitchers avoid the same problems that could literally ruin their careers.

Joined Forces With Top Sports PT My wife, Ginny, has been ACSM certified since 1995. Ginny and I consulted with a noted sports PT/trainer to help us put our pitching specific program together. This PT has worked with dozens of professional baseball players in his own practice. Together we developed a comprehensive program to help the PT and the sports trainer work more effectively not just treating arm injuries but also evaluating pitchers and prescribing ongoing functional training. Plus we show you how to evaluate a pitcher’s throwing mechanics.

Don’t Treat Symptoms - Solve Problems There seem to be more arm injuries today than ever. We now realize that many Little League elbows or weak shoulders in high school and college pitchers are symptoms of the real problem - weak overall core strength and a lack of flexibility. All leading to injury.

The program I have developed covers a complete toenails to fingernail assessment, a biomechanical evaluation of the pitcher’s throwing mechanics, and finally an on-going functional training program off-season and in-season designed to decrease injury and increase performance. Now you will have the credibility to help any baseball pitcher at any level.

To find out more, we have written a FREE REPORT that explains exactly how you too can immediately begin expanding your practice by effectively working with baseball pitchers at all levels from Little League to pro ball.

Just call 24 hours a day to request a free report.

Nautilus Rehabilitation...

Nautilus has long been the standard for human performance testing and rehabilitation applications. Each Nautilus strength product features an individually designed elliptical cam, designed to mimic force output of the particular movement. In addition, Nautilus utilizes a "negative" cam on compound/ complex movements to accommodate mechanical advantage changes through the range. No other machines offer these features!

Four bar linkage, one pound increment changes, hydraulically adjusted seats, full back and neck support, oversize handgrips and handles, safety belts, and enclosed mechanism are but a few of the rehabilitation accommodations built into our machines.

New Nautilus multi-stations incorporate many of the best single station features into a compact, cost effective package.

Please call or visit our web site to request a CD ROM catalogue featuring video presentations on the new Nautilus, and other Med-Fit products.

J

atorade Thirst Quencher's optimal formula contains electrolytes and carbohydrates. It is based on more than 30 years of scientific research and testing. Nothing rehydrates, replenishes and refuels better than Gatorade® Thirst Quencher—not even water. * REHYDRATE—Gatorade has the flavor to keep your athletes drinking—and a sixpercent carbohydrate solution that’s optimal for speeding fluids back into their systems.

No fluid is absorbed faster than Gatorade. * REPLENISH—If your athletes don’t replace the electrolytes they lose when they sweat, they risk becoming dehydrated, which can take them out of the game. By putting electrolytes back, Gatorade helps athletes drink more, retain fluids and maintain fluid balance. * REFUEL—Unlike water, Gatorade has the right amount of carbohydrates (14 grams per eight ounces) to give your athletes’ working muscles more energy, help athletes fight fatigue and keep their mental edge.
