Common Sports Related Injuries Suffered by Cheerleaders


By: Angie Leighsmith


Most injuries caused by stress and overuse are the result of excessive wear and tear on the body. Areas and muscles like your ankles, shoulders, and joints are prime targets for these ailments. Most of these injuries are minor and just a nuisance but others are signs of more serious damage done.

There are certain types of injuries that sometimes there just is no getting around. If you are physically active, then you may have experienced one or two of these at some point of your life. Knowing the early signs, symptoms and what to do can help prevent them from becoming nagging chronic pain problems. Here are some of the most common types of sport injuries and some warning signs of each.
  • Achilles tendonitis - This running injury typically occurs from abnormal foot stroke when pushing off on your foot and too-tight calf muscles. For example, if you are pushing off on your foot and turning it towards its side pulling at an improper angle, the tendon will become stressed and inflamed. That's why getting an important to correct your balance and footwork bio-mechanics of your stroke at push off.

  • Muscle Pulls – Nothing hurts more than a muscle pull no matter if it’s you hamstring, quads, or any other muscle. A muscle pull happens from not being flexible and overexerting specific muscles. They usually happen when you don’t stretch enough and you do something physically that you shouldn’t be doing. When you get a pull you’ve torn a piece of muscle either severely or lightly. For an acute pulls, ice works wonders and there are some anti-inflammatory medication available which can be helpful.

  • Ankle sprains – Most sufferers of ankle sprains can attest to the fact that they their lack of attention to what they were doing that caused the injury. Take runners for example. Many of their ankle sprains are the result of not watching where they are running and slipping on gravel or a curb and causing your ankle to twist incorrectly. If you do by chance sprain your ankle, the only thing that will cure it is time but Tylenol and ice will help reduce swelling and pain.
  • Perform Better - Quality Functional Training Equipment

  • Runner's knee - Runner's knee is pretty painful injury that happens when the cartilage behind the kneecap wears away. It normally occurs because of weak developed quadriceps muscles, or shoes without enough proper support for your forefoot on the inside. The condition is normally treated with full-length sports orthotic and strengthening exercises directed at the inner quad muscle.

  • Blisters – Blisters are one of the most common sports related injuries and easily one of the most annoying. They are usually formed on your feet and caused by friction of your shoes and socks combined with the excessive moisture of sweat.

  • Dizziness - The best way to avoid dizzy spells during exercise is to not over do it and stay properly hydrated. The key word there was “properly”. A lot of times athletes will drink too much water in order to avoid dehydration but when that happens, the sodium levels in the body are lowered causing the kidneys stress. Some common symptoms of this are nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.

  • Plantar fasciitis – This injury is sometimes confused with other types of foot injuries. You’ll first notice a pain in your heel when you take your first steps in the morning or after a period not walking around. It is a common ailment for runners but can happen to anyone else that suffers from an abnormal motion of the foot or too-tight calf muscles.

BodyRockTV Lisa Marie Featuring: Sandbag Thrusts and How to Workout Fasted: Try This 12 Minute HIIT Session!

The benefits of working out fasted can not be undersold. Working out in a fasted state has been shown to help people get leaner and stronger, faster. 
Let’s talk about how. (continued below..................)

Benefits of Working Out Fasted

  • Working out fasted increases insulin sensitivity and allows human growth hormone to assist in burning fat and building muscle. 
  • Working out fasted has been shown to increase performance.
  • Working out fasted can train your body to burn fat more efficiently.
If you’re interested in learning more about fasting, check out our Fast and Furiously Fit ebook

This guide offers you complete support on how to master intermittent fasting, which requires you fast for roughly 16 hours a day. The book includes tips, science, nutrition information, and 40 recipes, snacks and desserts to make intermittent fasting a deliciously appealing lifestyle.
Get the ebook!

How to Workout Fasted

The best fasted workouts are HIIT workouts. HIIT workouts and intermittent fasting work beautifully together to help you lose fat, gain muscle, increase aerobic and anaerobic capacity, and keep your 
hormones in check.
 

What is HIIT?
HIIT, also known as high-intensity interval training, uses short, intense bursts of anaerobic activity followed by even shorter periods of rest to max out every single exercise session. Unlike conventional aerobic training, which uses oxygen to fuel movement, anaerobic training draws on your body’s stored energy to fuel movement, so you’re literally torching fat.
So, like fasting, HIIT pushes your body into the fat-burning zone and forces it to use more energy (burn more calories) to complete the movements.

Get the Sculpt Bar here
Other than HIIT a few times a week, you DON’T need to do long, exhaustive cross-fit or cardio sessions. In fact, you shouldn’t, since these extended periods of exercise can raise your cortisol levels (which fasting can balance), causing you to hold onto fat stores. Unnecessarily prolonged workout sessions can also have an adverse effect on your hunger. 
If you love your runs, for example, and don’t want to give them up, aim to go for shorter, more intense runs. Think 20-30 minutes, and incorporate sprints. Also, count this sort of activity as part one of your HIIT sessions.

Dr. Eric Berg Featuring: Fat Soluble vs Water Soluble Vitamins: When Do You Take Them?

Fat-soluble vitamins vs. water-soluble vitamins, what’s the difference, and when should you take them? Watch this short video to find out. Find Out More at drberg.com: https://DrBerg.AMZ

In this video, I want to talk to you about fat-soluble vitamins vs. water-soluble vitamins. When should you take them, and what is the difference? Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in your fat cells and in your liver. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored—if you consume too much, your body will get rid of what you don’t need. 

Fat soluble vitamins include: 
• Vitamin A 
• Vitamin D 
• Vitamin E 
• Vitamin K1 
• Vitamin K2 
These vitamins are able to penetrate the fat layer of your cells and go deeper. They can even affect your DNA and mitochondria. 

Water-soluble vitamins are not capable of this. Water soluble vitamins include: 
• B vitamins 
• Vitamin C 

You want to take fat-soluble vitamins along with fatty foods. So it’s best to have fat-soluble vitamins with food. They are absorbed far better this way. You can take water-soluble vitamins any time—you don’t need fat to help with absorption. Fat-soluble vitamins are toxic in large amounts. Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins are stored, and excess amounts cannot be released through the urine. Keep in mind that you should be taking water-soluble vitamins while you fast since your body doesn’t store them very well.

Police Activity on US Sports Net Presented by Tactical P.E. Featuring: Lexington Police Officer Helps Save Deer Stuck in Swimming Pool and Nine Ways To Deerproof Your Yard

Another look into the sometimes strange and wacky world that our Tactical Athletes have to work in.  Sure your train to protect the innocent, bring criminals to justice, and help in many ways. This tactical athlete had a tough deadlift to perform. Good thing he had some help.
-Coach Nate

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) ** On Monday morning, Officer Flannery responded to a home in a rural part of Fayette County where a deer had become trapped in a swimming pool.

The temperature was around 18 degrees. Animal Care and Control and the Fire Department were also dispatched, but Officer Flannery was first to arrive. With help from the homeowner, the deer was safely lifted out of the pool and appeared to be okay.

Nine Ways To Deerproof Your Yard


By: Sam Chapman

Do you have trouble with deer ruining your landscaping? Here is some advise on how to keep the cute, but pesky and destructive little creatures away. The first thing you need to understand is that deer will eat just about anything. The other thing to remember is that if they were there first, they’ll come back.




To begin, try to create a landscape that is deer resistant. You should call your local nursery to get a list of deer resistant plants for your area. These will include plants that are poisonous to deer and many plants that are native to your area. If a native plant has lived for thousands of years in your area, it must be because the plant has some mechanism that makes it distasteful to deer.

Keep in mind that very few plants are truly deer proof. They are generally resistant if anything at all. Even plants that look like nothing should want to eat them, like roses with all the thorns or holly with the sharp barbs, will be eaten. Anything that is resistant will be eaten when the tender, new growth emerges. Anything that will make a deer sick will be eaten in times of drought when nothing else is available.

Things that may be worth trying:

1. Get a dog. Doggy droppings tell the deer that a predator may be in the area and they will probably stay away. Barking is also a good deterrent. 
2. Build a tall fence. 
3. Install an electric fence around the landscaping you want to protect. 
4. Install what looks like an electric fence, but use wire or nylon line that isn’t plugged into anything. If the deer have been conditioned by the neighbors that electric fences are bad, this may keep them away from your plants. 
5. Spray a commercial deer repellant on things the deer like to eat. The problem with this is that you may need to reapply it every time it rains and after significant plant growth. 
6. Chop garlic and hot peppers and soak them in water for a couple of days. Strain, put into a spray bottle and start spraying. Reapply after rain or new growth. 
7. Gather human hair from a salon, place it in tea bags and hang around your plants that you want to protect. Replace the hair monthly (this won’t work if deer are used to being around humans). 
8. Spray a mixture of 80% water and 20% eggs on the plants. Reapply every month. 
9. Protect small tree trunks during the rutting season by wrapping them with rubber tubing or with a fence. Bucks will use the trees to rub the velvet off their antlers.


What about your lawn? In general, deer are not a problem for most lawns. However, if they get used to bedding down in your yard, they may lay in the same spots each night. This can cause grass to die off in spots. What to do? Get in the habit of scaring the deer away every time you see them. Install a motion detector that turns on the sprinkler system. Sprinkle red pepper flakes over those spots (they may just move…). Buy a dog, build a fence or see other items 4-9 above.

The Rock Almighty Devotional, Praise, and Worship with Allies


January 26 from CDM

 

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:17).
God doesn’t want us to get trapped in condemnation. When the world was trapped in sin and the guilt and shame that result from it, He sent us just what we need—grace. 



World Changers Church Featuring: Saturday Service and Healthy Relationships

Having friends who accept and value us is something we all want. Being around godly people who reaffirm our sense of self-worth makes life more enjoyable, yet forming and maintaining healthy friendships is something some people struggle with. A healthy relationship begins with two people who both have positive self-images, without insecurity or self-centeredness. The strongest friendships are based on Jesus Christ.
A relationship can only thrive if both people are secure in who they are in Christ; if so, then they pursue a friendship for unselfish reasons. The mindset that we need someone else to complete or fulfill us puts too much pressure on the other person to be perfect; this is an unrealistic expectation. A relationship with Jesus, first, constantly reminds us of His unconditional acceptance of us. He’s the only one who can truly fulfill us. “So you also are complete through your union with Christ…” (Colossians 2:10, NLT).
To fulfill is to carry out or complete, to develop the full potential in someone. God can complete us better than any human being, and fill our needs better than we ever dreamed. This is because of His great love for us. God’s plans for us are good, and they definitely don’t include being alone and friendless. “For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the LORD. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11, NLT).
It’s easy to have a positive self-image and like ourselves if we see ourselves the way God sees us. The world bases its conditional acceptance of us on how well we succeed in following its ever-changing rules and standards. God, however, loves and accepts us no matter what. “…For he who touches you touches the apple of His eye”(Zechariah 2:8, NKJV). The apple of someone’s eye is someone seen as highly valuable.
We matter a great deal to God. When we realize How highly He values us, we’re more likely to value ourselves more. This leads to better and wiser choices in who we choose as friends. A true friend exerts a good influence on us by words of wisdom given in love. “Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice” (Proverbs 27:9, NIV).
Not enough can be said about how our friends influence us. Surrounding ourselves with people who care about us and our well-being keeps us on the right path in life. Surrounding ourselves with the wrong people gets us in trouble and causes us to make bad choices. “Do not be deceived: ‘Evil company corrupts good habits’” (1 Corinthians 15:33, NKJV).
When we’re secure in our relationship with God and we know He loves us, we can love others the way He teaches us to. Godly friendships benefit and build up everyone involved. “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NLT). There’s no downside to following God’s lead in our social lives. Going by His standards instead of the world’s standards allows His love to flow through us and all of our friends.
