La ragione dietro l’alto del corridore non è quello che potresti pensare
Per molti corridori, sperimentare lo “sballo del corridore” è uno dei maggiori vantaggi di questo sport. La convinzione prevalente è che il rilascio di endorfine causi questa sensazione, ma un nuovo studio sulla rivista Psychoneuroendocrinology suggerisce che potrebbe non essere così.
Intelligenza emotiva nella leadership
Quando pensi a un “leader perfetto”, cosa ti viene in mente?
Potresti immaginare qualcuno che non perde mai il controllo della sua rabbia, indipendentemente dai problemi che sta affrontando. Oppure potresti pensare a qualcuno che ha la completa fiducia del suo staff, ascolta la sua squadra, è facile parlare e prende sempre decisioni attente e informate.
Queste sono qualità di qualcuno con un alto grado di intelligenza emotiva.
In questo articolo, vedremo perché l’intelligenza emotiva è così importante per i leader e come tu, come leader, puoi migliorare la tua.
Watersports and Negative Ions
Kitesurfing and surfing are much more than just sports. They demand quit a bit (or a lot…) of knowledge regarding the weather, the choice of spot and gear, as well as staying fit. We are sure that your ultimate goal is to be stoked at every session, right?
Well, researchers have found that negative ions, found in the atmosphere around turbulent water, trigger this incredible feeling.
Let us explain you more about the effects of those ions and water sports.
The Mental Health Benefits of Exercise
You already know that exercise is good for your body. But did you know it can also boost your mood, improve your sleep, and help you deal with depression, anxiety, stress, and more?
Imagery
Imagination, or imagery practice, is a powerful way to enhance a sports performance because it recruits various senses. It is the senses of sight, sound, smell, touch, taste, and vision that create the emotional hooks necessary for an efficient mental movie. The more senses you are able to incorporate into an imagery session, the more powerful the image will work in your favor during competition.
“Imagery is one of the greatest tools used in sports psychology to enhance performance. This is done by enhancing motor skills and muscle memory and it is also used for motivation. Studies have found that practicing imagery, along with regular training, enhances muscle memory and sports skills faster and further than regular training alone. In a competitive world where only the slightest improvement can be the difference between a champion and a runner-up, we need to take all the opportunities that we can to become elite at what we do.”

Long Slow Distance When and Where Appropriate.
Long slow distance, or LSD as it’s known in the running community is generally considered to be a workout with paces slower than race pace, approaching race durations, at or between 60-75% of the runner’s maximum heart rate.
The key is to perform long slow distance at a constant pace and not worry about the effects of slowing down or increases in speed on your performance. As your body shifts toward improved efficiency over a progression of hours, weeks, and even months, muscles learn to burn less energy at a constant effort, and you can move faster while expending less energy.
