Sport en narkose
Baie skool kinders belê ‘n groot hoeveelheid van hul tyd om hul sport talent te ontwikkel. Drome van sportbeurse en ‘n professionele loopbaan as sportman of -vrou bring die Olimpiese leuse - Vinniger; Hoër; Verder – binne die bereik van jonger en jonger generasies. Ongelukkig maak die pad na sukses soms ‘n draai in die operasieteater, en baie ouers en kinders se vrees vir narkose en hoop vir vinnige herstel word hier onder die vergrootglas geplaas.
Die tipe sport wat ons beoefen bepaal tot ‘n groot mate die risikos waaraan ons blootgestel word onder narkose.
Buiten die feit dat kontaksport soos rugby die grootste bepaler is vir jou kans tot besering, is die tipe fisiologiese stres waaraan jou hart onderwerp word tydens jou voorbereiding, ‘n baie belangrike konsiderasie. Die Europese Hartvereniging klassifiseer sport in 4 afdelings om diè stres op die hart te bepaal. Uithouvermoë sport soos padfietsry, swem en driekamp het die grootste effek op die hart. ‘n Verdikking in die linker hartspier kan die kranige sportster se hart onder groter stres plaas tydens die stres van narkose en chirurgie.
Die genetiese variasie wat aan sekere atlete hul bo-menslike prestasies besorg, kan ook ‘n meer tragiese storie bevat. Sekere genetiese afwykings kan lei tot arritmiese versteurings in die hart. Gekoppel aan die verhoogde gebruik van anaboliese streroide onder skoolkinders, bly die atleet se hart die narkotiseer se grootste kommer wanneer die jong en buitengewone fikse sportster aan die slaap gemaak word vir ‘n tendonherstel of plasing van ‘n skroef in ‘n gebreekte been.
‘n Eerlike oop gesprek met jou narkotiseer oor die gebruik van opkikkers is dus van kardinale belang vir jou gesondheid. Onthou, alle gesprekke tussen jou en die dokter bly konfidensieel. Verskeie middels wat deur WADA (World Anti-Doping Association) verbied word, mag dalk as deel van ‘n standaard narkose toegedien word. Versoek dus jou narkotiseer om seker te maak jou narkose plaas jou nie onder bedenking indien jy deel van ‘n WADA toesigprogram is nie.
Die meeste kinders se gesonde fisiologie maak hulle ‘n plesier vir die chirurg en die narkotiseer om mee saam te werk.
Sekere faktore in sport soos die tipe sport, genetiese predisposisies en gebruik van opkikkers moet egter in ag geneem word om te verseker dat die besoek aan die operasietafel nie die jong sportster se loopbaan beskadig nie. Soos die geval in baie mediese situasies, bly goeie kommunikasie die beste pad tot sukses.

Going on a motorhome adventure – your home away from home
At this time of year many family gatherings start to center around the conversation of what they are planning to do for the summer holidays. For many families the past adventures of a road trip in a motorhome may have to wait until the petrol price comes down a bit more. However, everyone may have the pleasure of remembering and reimagining their childhood memories going camping with their family in a caravan or motorhome.
These days it seems like more and more families are choosing to go on holiday with motorhomes. The ease of packing and knowing that your home away from home has everything you need, makes the start of the journey hassle free. Being on the open road and choosing to make a detour anywhere for a picnic or overnight stay is so much fun in a camper van. Whether you are travelling down to the coast or choosing to explore some of the backroads of the cape, South Africa has many scenic camping sites that are waiting to be explored.
Many motorhomes can cater for families up to 6 and come fitted with electricity and gas hubs as well as a microwave, air conditioner and fridge/freezer. Families with small kids especially enjoy the ease and convenience of sleeping under one roof while enjoying the great outdoors. The ease of setting up camp (they’re equipped with outside tables and chairs as well) leaves so much more time to explore your surroundings and at night the family can gather around the braai or enjoy card games around the well-lit interior of the motorhome dining table. Some people greatly value to privacy of an onboard bathroom and shower which is standard is most campers these days – so no more excuses for those needing their own WC!
With so many exotic locations and scenic drives to choose from, South Africa really is a motorhome paradise. If you have not tried it yet, you might be in for a very big and comfortable surprise.
To book your motorhome for your next family vacay, contact Bobo Campers for a reliable quote.

Linden tennis stars pay a visit to Wimbledon
Two of Hoërskool Linden’s top tennis players, Ané Dannhauser (u/18) and Almé van Schalkwyk (u/15) toured London, England in July as part of the SA Schools tennis team in their respective age groups. During this special tour with Tennis SA, the girls and their team visited Wimbledon and trained and played on the clay courts against opponents from all over the world. The occasion was particularly special because some of these opponents they played against also played in the Junior Wimbledon tournament. The two girls have had an exceptional tennis season this year and we are excited to watch them in the future. Wimbledon may just be in the future for them.
Lida-Mari Badenhorst, Chanél Le Roux, Chanél Pieter Chris Smit Divian Pretorius Kyle Cameron en Leonardo CarreiraExcited open girls played their first hockey fixtures since 2019. These girls work extremely hard during training and play their matches with such enthusiasm. We are great full for the opportunity to play hockey and we are looking forward to the next season. It’s not about winning or losing, but rather what you gain through the experience.
