WHAT MAKES PLYOMETRICS SUCH AN EXCITING AND ENHANCING TRAINING PROGRAM BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN Jump training, or plyometrics, is a high-intensity routine involving explosive movements to promote power and strength. However, you cannot simply jump up and down and expect to be powerful.

When done incorrectly, plyometrics may cause more harm than good because of its intense nature. Proper landing (for lower body exercises) and catching (for upper body exercises) is very important in plyometrics.

That being said, plyometrics offers a number of benefits for the active athlete. Not only does it promote power, it can also reduce the chances of injury. When you land softly, it promotes eccentric contractions. Such movements use muscles to act like springs or shock absorbers. Indeed, a 2003 study which appeared in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, reported that an eccentric-resistance exercise protocol not only plays a part in the enhancement of high-power sport activities, it is also instrumental in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and other bone and muscle impairments.

Several studies have also found plyometrics to produce a positive effect on the biomechanics of the lower extremities.

Combining plyometrics with balance training is also recommended to make the most out of the pre-season training of female athletes.

Can plyometrics help you get better in endurance sports? Running and jumping are similar in some respects. They both have a push-off and flight phase. Surging needs more powerful movements. With a progressive plyometric program, you will not only improve your power, but enhance the quality of your movements.

Do you have what it takes to make the leap? Consult with a health and fitness professional before making the jump to plyometrics.

riathlon is a fast-growing sport. Judging from the demographics of the local triathlon community, it has shown substantial growth especially over the last three years. Most triathlon events are sold out before race day, and the number of tri-bike at races have doubled every year. The same is happening overseas.

I’m happy to see that my favorite sport is going towards the right direction. But I’m even happier to see more and more young people taking part in it. A particular sport can only grow when there is focus on the grassroots level, or else its popularity will wane.

Triathlon is unique because weekend warriors and age groupers have the opportunity to race alongside professionals. They share the same rules, support, course, and finishing line. The race is a platform for professionals to showcase their speed and fitness level.

Professionals race for money; age groupers race for life.

With proper adult supervision, resistance exercises can be good for children

Is it safe to engage children in resistance exercises? Sports professionals think so. In 2009, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) published a position statement in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research noting the benefits of a properly designed and supervised resistance training program for the youth. Not only is such a program relatively safe for the young, it can enhance their muscular strength and power, improve their cardiovascular risk profile, enhance their motor skill performance, and increase their resistance to sports-related injuries. Engaging in resistance exercises will help them develop good lifestyle habits, and could even improve their psychosocial well-being.

It must be emphasized, however, that resistance training for teens and children must be supervised by qualified professionals who should provide safety guidelines and proper lifting instructions, stated Dr. Avery Faigenbaum in “Resistance Training Among Young Athletes: Safety, Efficacy, and Injury Prevention Effects,” which appeared in the British Journal of Sports Medicine last 2010.

EXPERT ADVICE

O U R PA N E L O F E X P E R T S A N S W E R S YO U R M O S T P R E S S I N G T R I AT H LO N D I L E M M A S

Q: I signed

up for my first hike and I’m a couch potato.

How do I get ready for the climb?

A:

Well, there are certain things to consider: How long is the hike?

Overnight, two nights, or more? If you’re a newbie, I’m assuming you’ll do an overnight hike. That’s two to three hours of steady hiking inclusive of short breaks (5-10mins) in between to enjoy the view and catch your breath.

Q: How can I stay fit while recovering from an injury?

A:

Whenever an athlete suffers a gradually worsening ache or an acute but mild injury, a dilemma develops. “Do I rest this ailment and have it treated or do I continue to exercise through the pain?”

It takes two weeks to be significantly de-conditioned. But none of you believe this! You insist on continuing your training for fear of losing everything you have worked so-o-o-o hard to achieve.

‘One step back, two steps forward’.

Maybe the biggest change in sports medicine is the concept of recovery.

You do not have to work out every single day. Please, please give your joints and muscles time to RECOVER. But, if you really must go on, focus on the areas that are not injured. If you have heel or knee problems from running, try swimming or biking. If your back hurts from cycling, try an elliptical machine until you feel better. If your shoulder bothers you

when you do the freestyle while swimming, try another stroke or switch to running while you mend.

If lifting weights is difficult, try resistance bands.

When in doubt, remember this: if it does not hurt, it should be safe.

Observe proper form and never overdo it.

Q: a pain that will pass or

How do you know if it’s

a more serious injury that needs attention?

A:

Pain is a sign that something might be wrong.

Seasoned athletes, over time, know which twinges will recover on their own and which ones will not. Most injuries fall under inflammation or muscle spasms. There are a lot of over-the-counter medications to tackle these; go to your friendly pharmacist for advice. Use cold compress for swelling and hot moist

packs for muscle soreness and low back pain.

Anything that progresses definitely needs to be checked out. If it is something that feels better after a few days of rest or medications, then you are probably fine.

When in doubt, just go to a rehab doctor or an orthopedic surgeon.

But always listen to your gut; there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion. A lot of specialists are out there, from chiropractors to acupuncturists to reflexologists to myotherapists, so feel free to try them out. Be wary of physicians who advise surgery off the bat because a large majority of sports injuries respond well to rest, medications and physical therapy.

If you neglect a problem that needs to be addressed, you are looking at a worse situation – bigger expenses, longer down time, maybe even injections and surgery.

NUTRITION & DIET

EATING RIGHT • MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY • RECIPES • LOADING UP • HYDRATION

KEYS TO HYDRATION Hydration is dependent on these factors. Consider these when planning your hydration for a race or training. As a general rule, you should consume between 500 ml to one liter of water or a sports drink per hour regardless of the factors listed below.

"Clean" snacks are snacks that are organic, contain no processed or artificial sugars.

Something as simple as apples, bananas, boiled kamote, steamed corn, and organic cereals can go a long way.

5 TIPS FOR EATING HEALTHY ON THE GO

BY HARVIE DE BARON The biggest challenge for any athlete, or anyone who wants to be healthy for that matter, is what to eat when traveling.

You miss out on the luxury of home-cooked meals, and run the risk of adversely affecting your overall performance at any sport when you’re eating habits vary because of travel.

Here are some best practices for eating healthy on the go:

SHUT TERSTOCK.COM

Make a beeline for the supermarket/grocery.

One of the things I practice when I travel is to visit the supermarket or grocery as soon as I can. I buy fruits and “clean snacks.” “Clean” snacks are snacks that are organic, contain no processed or artificial sugars. Something as simple as apples, bananas, boiled kamote, steamed corn, and organic cereals go a long way in making sure that I eat clean. Buy a big bottle of drinking water that you can bring around with you.

Choose grilled meat, proteins, and vegetables My meal of choice when

traveling is usually steak, or fish, and steamed vegetables.

Tell the waiter how you want it prepared. For steak, I go for grilled without any butter, sauces on the side, or I pass on the sauce. For vegetables, I choose carrots, beans, or broccoli that are steamed or blanched without butter or oil.

What’s key here is to load up on vegetables and gratify your tastebuds with a simple piece of meat or fish. You can also do a side order of salad but pass on the dressing because it could be laden with calories. If you want the dressing for flavor, keep it on the side and just dip your forkful of salad in them to keep the calorie-count low.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! The excitement and distraction of traveling can you make your forget hydrating.

Bring a refillable bottle of water in your bag or backpack.

Knowing that it’s there reminds you to hydrate throughout the day. Your body will definitely thank you for it.

Graze. Grazing means having

small meals or snacks in between major meals. How do you graze when you’re on the go? Remember the supplies you bought from the local grocery?

Pack some with you when you head out. Grazing throughout the day helps keep your body’s metabolism up.

Think of a train (your body) powered by coals (the right fuel). If you don’t consistently put coal in, the train’s engine (metabolism) slows down. Same with our metabolism. If you don’t fuel it regularly and consistently, your body’s “engine” slows down. By the time you put food in again, there’s a period of catching up before your metabolism goes full-speed once more. The habit of going hungry teaches the body to slow down the metabolism because there is nothing to digest or process. When you don’t have hunger pangs, you’re bound to make better food choices once you get to a restaurant.

A hotter climate requires you to hydrate more than when racing in a cold country.

Adjustments can be made based on an athlete’s needs.

That’s why it’s crucial to practice hydration to get a feel of how your body reacts to different weather conditions.

The key here is to adjust accordingly. Even if you trained and are racing in the same country, weather conditions can change. If on race day, you find that the day is warmer and you’re sweating more, add a bit more hydration (water) and electrolytes.

SIZE/WEIGHT

The bigger the surface area, the more sweat can come out from the skin, therefore more hydration is needed. Simply put, a person who is 5’10”, 180 lbs will probably sweat more than someone who is 5’5”, 110 lbs.

Another method you can use to measure your hydration level is to weigh yourself prior to training and then weigh yourself posttraining. The general rule is, you need to hydrate one liter more than you did for every one kg you lose post-training.

This gives you a baseline of how much water you need to take in.

Everyone is different. The hydration plan of one person may not work for another. So, what can you do? Practice your hydration during training and be ready to make adjustments as needed when race day comes.

RECOVERY TECHNIQUES

HOW TO COME BACK QUICKLY AFTER HARD WORKOUTS AND RACES

BY ARLAND MACASIEB

F

ilipinos’ favorite carbohydrate is rice. So it’s only fitting that the most tried and tested recovery technique is also R.I.C.E. RICE however is not kanin but an acronym for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. So after a hard exercise bout, whether it be a tough track session, a long hilly bike ride, or even a hard swim, there is approximately a 30-minute window post exercise to get nutrients in to help with recovery.

Nutrition and hydration are perhaps the first step to recovery even before RICE. The guideline is to replace fluids and electrolyte lost during the workout immediately.

Water alone will not suffice. The good news is that coconut water or buko juice is a great natural electrolyte source and readily available all over the country.

Sports drink will suffice, but if you can avoid the high glycemic sugars, the better off you will be. If you can mix in a protein powder with your recovery drink that is great also. Some products like Endurox and Ultragen are recovery-specific powders that have a mix of protein, electrolytes and sugar; but once again, if you can avoid the sugar, so much the better. The 30-minute window for protein is important, because at this stage the body can

become catabolic and break down it’s own muscle tissue to use as an energy source.

So now that you have have started sipping on your recovery drink, the next step after showering is to R-Rest, prop your legs up on a chair or bed, couch and let the body relax and bring your heart rate back down.

IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO I-ICE, EVEN BETTER. Take an ice bath.

Even if you are only able to submerge your lower extremities, that will be good enough. All you really need is 10 minutes of submersion in the cold stuff.

Another step above this doing a contrast bath: going from cold water, to warm water, and then back to cold water. But you should make sure you always end on cold.

Ice is the one of the least expensive but most effective recovery tools by naturally decreasing swelling and edema with temperature via conduction (directly touching) or convection (a fluid or air passing over the affected areas.)

COMPRESSION. Throwing on compression tights/socks would be another good move at this point. There are actually some compression tights that have pockets to put ice sheets into so

you can have both the compression and cryotherapy at the same time. Massage is also another form of compression. Recovery boots like Normatec and Recovery pump would be useful also to help flush out blood lactate and other catabolic enzymes.

LASTLY E FOR ELEVATION. As mentioned, rest is key but also putting the legs above the level of the heart will promote better blood circulation from the legs back to the body. Stacking some pillows under your legs while taking a nap will do the trick. I have a trapezoid that I place under my legs.

Finally recovery workouts will help you get back to training/racing at full strength quicker. Just an easy 30-minute bike ride or an easy 10-minute swim are great recovery workouts. Doing nothing is perhaps the worst thing you can do.

Depending on your initial fitness levels, and the distance raced, your recovery time can be calculated.

Keeping track of your resting pulse as well as Heart Rate Variability can also be useful for determining whether one is ready to resume hard training or not. Following these steps should help you quickly and effectively recover from your hard workouts and races.

Circuit training has been an arsenal of strength and conditioning coaches and personal trainers to improve the fitness of a client in a small amount of time spent in the gym. It was designed at the University of Leeds in 1953 and involves 9 to 12 exercises that targets the whole body with small rests in between exercises. To optimally use the rest periods in between exercises, one muscle group is being targeted and the others are rested. An example would be our chosen order of body weight exercises that alternately target the upper and lower extremities and progressing the intensity of the exercises.

Intense circuit training also stimulates the muscle-building hormones like the growth hormone and IGF-1, which puts your body in a good state to build lean muscle mass. Also due to the intensity of circuit training, it pushes your heart rate high during the work periods, strengthening your heart and improving of your cardiovascular system. Your recovery capabilities are also improved due to the short rest periods. This means that you increase your ability to recover faster in future exercise bouts.

PRISONER SQUATS

TONE AWAY FROM HOME

QUADRICEPS

Considered one of the best body weight exercises as well as one of the most natural movement patterns. When executed properly, this move targets all of the muscles in the lower extremity including the quads, glutes, hamstrings, as well as your core muscles.

Bring both your hands behind your back and bring your thighs parallel to the floor while keeping your back flat. Imagine that there is a chair behind you which you are trying to sit on.

Perform 10 to 15 repetitions.

THE GOOD THING ABOUT BODY WEIGHT EXERCISES IS THAT YOU DON’T NEED ANY FANCY EQUIPMENT – YOU JUST NEED…YOU!

BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

Here are six exercises that will challenge your core and at the same time target your major muscle groups and may even improve your cardiovascular system as well.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

VALSLIDE LEG CURL

Known as a metabolism-boosting exercise, this also strengthens your core, shoulders, hips, and thighs.Place your hands on the floor positioned slightly wider than shoulder-width. Position one leg bent andunder your torso while the other one straight at the back. Alternately change leg positions while pushing your hips up and keeping your hands and arms in place. Intensity can be modified by changing the pace of how you switch your legs. Perform this exercise for 30 seconds and work your way to 1 minute. This surely is a heart-pumping cardiovascular exercise too.

Valslides are good portable replacements for a slideboard.

These can work on almost any surface other than rubber.

You can even use a towel on a slippery surface as a valslide.

Start by lying on your back with your shin perpendicular to the floor and your heels in the middle of the slide pads (or towel). Slowly slide your feet out until your legs are fully straight. Always make sure that you keep your hips up as you lower down. As your knees are fully straight, squeeze your glutes (butt muscles) and pull your heels to the starting position. If pulling your heel is hard, slide back your feet to the starting position while letting your butt touch the floor.

Perform 10 to 15 repetitions.

CORE

PUSH-UP CHEST

This is one of the best upper body exercises that not only works your chest but your back, arms ,and core. Make sure that your hands are under your shoulders and that you bring your elbows towards your ribs (that means don’t flare out your elbows). Bring your chest, trunk, and hips as close to the ground as possible (a fist-width from the ground is a good guide) while maintaining your shoulders, hips, knees,and ankles all in a straight line. Regress the push-up by performing the movement in a kneeling position. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions.

S A U L A N T H O N Y S I B AYA N

SQUAT THRUST

GLUTES & HAMSTRINGS

PRONE YTW BACK

This is great exercise for improving shoulder stability as it strengthens the rotator cuff, scapular, and thoracic muscles.

It is ultimately a prehab exercise that minimizes the risk of shoulder joint pain associated to overhead movement dominant in sports like swimming. Start by lying on your belly. Raise your arms in front of your body with your thumbs up and arms straight forming a ‘Y’. Then bring your arms out to sides of your body to form a ‘T’. Lastly, bend your arms and bring your elbows to your ribcage while squeezing your shoulder blades and rotating your arms as far back as possible that your arms form a ‘W’. Perform 8 repetitions per letter and slowly progress to 18.

CORE

The beauty of this exercise is that it combines strength and aerobic training in a series of movements. This also improves your flexibility and mobility. This also targets your core, shoulders, hips, and thighs. Start in standing position, then squat down, and place your hands in the floor preferably under your shoulder.

LINI’S MUST-HAVES Lini Kazin’s cannot-livewithout-these gadgets

Nike Visor: “The sea, lake, chlorine water or the flat hairstyle after taking off the helmet is enough to make one suffer from a bad hair day! A featherweight Nike visor can hide it better than the hairdresser!”

Garmin 910XT Watch: “What’s a run, ride, or swim without knowing the distance, the pace, and how hard your heart is working?”

Rudy Project Sunglasses: “Who needs 50 shades of gray when you can have a few shades of awesome colors?” Lini has quite a few: Rudy Project Rydon Multilaser Red, Noyz Green Fluo Limited, and Sensor Ice Blue.

Brooks T7 Racers: “I may not race like Chrissie Wellington but at least I wear the same running shoes as she!”

RONWOMAN

“Because my body was in a constant state of fatigue, rest was the only four-letter word that I looked for in my training program. Mentally, I felt defeated as LINI KAZIM RECOUNTS HER I continuously looked JOURNEY TO IRONMAN 70.3 LANGKAWI for excuses to back PHOTOS COURTESY OF KARUNA ANG & LINI KAZIM out from the IM race.”

I

n early 2012, my timing for full marathon races started to hit a plateau and I took that as a cue for me to do something different.

Ultra or trail running was the obvious progression but I couldn’t stand the dirt and the mud that come with the sport. At the same time, my husband found out that two of our neighbors, Carmen and Sam, were multiple IRONMAN finishers and urged me to talk to them. I didn’t because at the time, a sport that requires me to swim did not really tick my interest. Weeks went by and then one fine day, by chance, I saw them swimming endlessly. I was amazed by their fitness level as I could not even do a lap of freestyle despite being a marathoner. I sat by the pool watching them in amazement while waiting for them to finish. We had a chat and that was how triathlon was introduced into my life.

My swimming was atrocious and beyond help so, they introduced me to Coach Steve Lumley, who completed Kona IRONMAN multiple times over. With such knowledge and experience under his belt, I was comforted that all my efforts would eventually pay off, so I persevered through the drills and tough sets.

I did a few Olympic distance races in the same year in Port Dickson, Singapore, and Miri. With every race, my confidence in the water went up a notch. By the end of 2012, I knew that triathlon would be a sport that I would pursue, so I started paying a bit more attention to my training.

With time being my biggest enemy, I followed a training program to ensure my readiness for the 70.3 races in Taiwan, Bintan, and Phuket in 2013.

The benefits of the training program spilled over onto the shorter distances where I managed to finish strong in the local triathlon and duathlon races. It also helped me achieve my personal time of 1:54 for half marathon and 4:09 for full marathon that year. It was definitely a year full of achievements.

While 2012 was all about swimming,

I started to focus on my cycling in 2013 and hooked up with the BJCC boys who are notorious for being fast and furious. They are always pushing me beyond my limits, have little time for my whining, and have no mercy for my sad stories. I knew that with them, I was in good hands as far as cycling is concerned.

The hard labor bore fruit in 2014 when I came in first at the Shah Alam Enduride and third at the Kuantan Century Ride races in the Women Open Category. These gave me confidence to sign up for the IRONMAN race in Langkawi.

Time flew by. Because my body was in a constant state of fatigue, rest was the only four-letter word that I looked for in my training program. Mentally, I felt defeated as I continuously looked for excuses to back out from the IRONMAN race. But despite the play of emotions, I continued to pedal, run, and swim diligently.

While I felt confident that I was ready for the biggest race of my life, I still prayed hard that the race would go as planned.

My prayer was answered on race day. Despite the jellyfish bite that sent me jolting during the swim leg, I managed to compose myself and completed the course in 1:33.

I went through the transition for a complete change of attire to ensure comfort on the bike. Eight power gels, eight bananas,

and 6:39 later, I was off the saddle and started the run. Running was supposed to be my forte but after 180km of hard cycling up and down the treacherous hills of Langkawi Highway and rolling Datai, I was depleted of energy, so I trod along the 10km running loop thankful for the supporters that lined up the street and the words of encouragement from fellow participants. Those were the forces that made me continue to run and finish in 5:54.

By the time I reached Dataran Lang for the last 50m, my Garmin showed an elapsed time of 14:25.

I ran on the red carpet, gave high fives to those along the railing, and blew a kiss to the loves of my life who had been with me through this journey. As soon as I crossed the finishing line, the much-awaited announcement echoed in the air.

“Lini Kazim, you are an IRONWOMAN!”

ULTRA THAI CHIANG MAI 150

14 TO 16 NOVEMBER 2014

BY RAZIF YAHYA

DAY 1

We covered 55 kilometers with an elevation gain of 3,200 meters on Day 1. The run started in front of Chiang Mai University at 6:30 AM with temperatures rising up to 35 degrees Celsius.

While the route was scenic with plenty of temples to be seen along the way, the first 10

day was tough with a lot of steep climbing involved.

After some 12 hours of trail running, we ended the day at Mae Kha Piang Village.

DAY 2

On Day 2, we covered 43 kilometers with an elevation gain of 2,200 meters. Though the pace was more relaxed due to downhill trails, the heat was unbearable as we had to run through open spaces without any protection from the shade of trees. Early in the day, we went through beautiful paddy fields. Later on, we ran through a pristine virgin jungle. The teams from Thailand, Singapore, and Philippines paced us throughout the second day.

The final checkpoint was at Kio Bua Ha Village.

DAY 3

The final stage was the toughest one with 52 kilometers covered and 3,400 meters elevation gained.

Steep climbs were involved, including the infamous “stairway to hell.� It was a mentally tough challenge.

We finally came to the finish line after a 150K journey. A similar challenge will be held later this year, from 2 to 6 December 2015, in Thailand.

ast November, Khairi Muin and I were invited to represent Malaysia at the Ultra Thai Chiang Mai in Thailand. Athletes from countries such as Norway, Denmark, France, Spain, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and the Philippines joined the event as well. We were happy to get the support of the Honorable Y.B. Khairy Jamaluddin, Minister for Youth & Sports.

Though the race unfolded in three stages over three days, it remained tough and grueling. The participants had to go through 150km of raw jungle trails, five summits over 1,500 meters high, 14 tribal villages, and three valleys in Northern Thailand.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

IT HAS BEEN THEIR PASSION TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE ON THEIR OWN. VOLUNTEERS OF THE MISSION FOR MISSING CHILDREN (MFMC) ALSO RACE TO GIVE AWARENESS TO THE PUBLIC ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CHILDREN’S SAFETY.

T

he Mission for Missing Children (MfMC) is a non-profit and politically independent organization, empowered by a group of sports and adventure enthusiasts who believe that there is a crucial need to step up and raise public awareness on the importance of children’s safety in light of recurring cases of missing children. MfMC started off as a movement in August 2012 and was officially registered in November 2013. Since then, they have been actively involved in promoting the cause and reaching out to various communities through their outdoor activities which are mostly triathlon, mountain hiking, running and cycling events.

As a non-profit organization, all expenses for their activities and events are fully borne by their members and participants. During the

2012 Desaru Long Distance Triathlon, they gave away free t-shirts to triathletes who agreed to race for their cause. In Powerman 2012, they set up an aid tent and put up bunting promoting their cause. During the 2013 Nusajaya Triathlon, they partnered with the event organizer and set up their booth during the race kit collection and distributed their special bib and windscreen stickers at no costs to the recipients.

In January 2014, they organized a cycling event from Woodlands to Hatyai through west coast of Peninsular Malaysia reaching out to the local and international communities, with one message “Never Leave Your Children Alone.”

They stopped at various schools in Malaysia and Thailand to meet up with school children and shared tips on their safety while distributing pamphlets and car stickers.

They also delivered safety talks to children at two schools in Port Dickson and Sitiawan.

“It is our hope that our effort will help raise the awareness level on children’s safety so that no more children will go missing in the future,” said MfMC’s Chairman, Mohd Khafiz Bachok.

In 2015, they have a few events in their pipeline. Among others are cycling from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Bharu via west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and hiking expedition to Mount Shue in Taiwan and Mount Spantik in Pakistan.

Mohd Khafiz added that by linking their activities to their cause, they hope that more people will be aware of MfMC. The issue on missing children is not just a concern of MfMC. It is an issue that concerns all Malaysians. Therefore, MfMC welcomes supports from various organizations, government, other NGOs, public, schools and parents to join their cause. It would be great for everyone to take part and play our role in increasing the society’s awareness level on children’s safety. Just like their motto, “Together, Let’s Make a Difference.”
