Take Walking to a New Level with Nordic Walking

2009-10-08T12:43:00.000-07:00

Nordic Walking utilizes specialized poles that take walking to a whole new level. Incorporating the poles increases the effectiveness of a typical walking program by increasing the use of the core and upper body muscles as well as by increasing calories burned without increasing perceived exertion. The activity has been popular in Europe and is now rapidly growing in the States.

Nordic walking has also been referred to as “fitness walking”, “walking with poles”, "walking with sticks" and "pole walking". In Europe it has been embraced as “summer skiing”. It began as a summer training exercise for “serious” cross-country skiers in Finland. Europeans recognized the many benefits of Nordic Walking and the sport quickly grew in popularity. Today, over 20% of the Fins Nordic Walk regularly. Approximately 8 million people enjoy Nordic Walking throughout Europe and those numbers continue to grow. Bernd Zimmerman, president of the American Nordic Walking Association reports that it is the fastest growing sport in the world.

Numerous research studies have verified the benefits and safety of Nordic Walking. The benefits of Nordic Walking have been researched at the famous Cooper Institute in Dallas by Dr. Timothy Church as well as by a group of professors at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse and professors at Michigan State University, East Lansing. Each study came to similar conclusions. Nordic walkers burn 20-40% more calories than traditional walkers. They burn 420 or more calories per hour verses 350 calories for the walkers that don’t use poles. The Nordic Walkers also have a similar rise in their oxygen consumption. One of the best aspects of Nordic walking is that people don’t feel that they work any harder than traditional walkers but they reap more benefits.

LEKI, manufacturer of Nordic walking poles describes Nordic walking as “Like Walking Only Smarter”. The numerous added benefits make Nordic Walking “smarter” than traditional walking. Utilizing the poles allows one to thrust off the ground behind them and propel themselves forward. It provides an energizing whole body workout as 90% of the muscles are used. It tones the arms and upper body while actually decreasing the

stress on the ankles, knees, hips and lower back. The poles increase stability and balance,

which can provide additional security for those that need it. Walking with poles has been found to effectively release shoulder and neck tension. It works the core body muscles

and when performed properly often improves posture. Nordic Walking can easily be enjoyed as a group offering positive social aspects in addition to the positive physical benefits. Young and old alike enjoy using the poles. It can be enjoyed by those that walk very slow or by those who enjoy going very fast. Best of all, most people that have tried Nordic Walking agree that utilizing poles makes walking more fun.

The prices of Nordic Walking poles vary depending on their composition and special features. Some of the special features include different handgrips, hand straps, the ability to adjust and lock the length of the pole, different tips and subtle differences in the design of the pole itself. It is important that the length of the poles is correct for each individual. They can be purchased in different lengths or as adjustable. Nordic Walking Poles are shorter than x-country ski poles because there isn’t a glide as there is when x-country skiing. LEKI Nordic Walking poles have a carbide tip covered with a removable rubber “paw”. The carbide tip is perfect for gripping soft trail surfaces while those that walk on sidewalks or asphalt will prefer to use the poles with the specialized rubber “paw”. These specially designed rubber tips are ideal for gripping and propulsion on harder surfaces. Specialized Nordic Walking Poles are engineered specifically for walking efficiently with poles and the subtle differences make them the ideal choice.

There are abundant reasons to try Nordic Walking. Once people try walking with poles it doesn’t take long for them to experience the positive benefits. The technique is simple to learn and requires just a few essential instructions for effective results. Best of all, it’s fun! Add poles to your walk and experience a whole new level of walking and wellness.

Skins Compression

2009-03-05T12:35:00.000-08:00

Revel Sports is very proud to add the Skins line of compression apparel to our inventories.

Skins™ Sport Is Body-Molded Gradient Compression Performance Equipment With Built-In BioAcceleration Technology™ Which Will Enhance Your Performance In Training, Competition And Recovery.

Skins Sport Long Tights Compression Half Tights

Skins Recovery Tights Sport Compression Long Sleeve Shirt

Sport Compression Sock Sport Compression Arm Sleeves

Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ has been developed over years of scientific research. Ongoing testing of elite athletes have proven that Skins™ BioAcceleration Technology™ creates marked improvements in reducing the build-up of lactic acid immediately after periods of sustained exercise (2hrs and 15 ins up to 37% ), and allows for more rapid return to normal levels (up to 38% at 20 minutes). You experience less fatigue, minimize soreness and recover faster.

Skins™ is body-molded compression performance equipment manufactured from the finest Lycra and Meryl Microfiber, scientifically engineered to provide support and muscle alignment to the smart-fabric covered area of your body. Skins™ will definitely change the way that you train and play as well as speed your recovery. You will feel fresher after heavy bouts of exercise and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be minimized.

Select a link from below to learn more about the science behind Skins™ or watch the Skins™ video to find out more.

BioAcceleration

Skins™ technical compression wear has been developed and designed to provide engineered gradient compression. When compression is engineered to apply a balanced and accurate surface pressure over specific body parts, it triggers an acceleration of blood flow. This increases oxygen delivery to working muscles to enhance their performance. The circulation improvements also help the body to eliminate lactic acid and other metabolic wastes. The combination of these effects allows you to work at a higher rate for longer.

Skin»Fit

Skins™ development of the correct compression is based on a body mass index (BMI) algorithm. A unique sizing system based on the algorithm allows us to customize and engineer gradient compression. By controlling the stretch and recovery of the fabric in conjunction with specifically developed pattern making techniques based on the sizing system, we are able to ensure the correct level of surface pressure for most body shapes. This is what truly sets Skins™ apart from the competition!

Skin»Muscle+

Skins™ performance equipment has been designed to wrap and support key muscle groups to reduce muscle movement and focus the direction of the muscle. The wrapping effect and specific compression also dramatically reduce muscle vibration resulting in less soft tissue damage and muscle soreness. The combination of muscle wrapping with BioAcceleration Technology™ is proven to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and accelerate recovery time.

Skin»Dry

Moisture management wicking is inherent in Skins™ smart fabric which originates in the polymer producing stages of the fiber construction. This superior feature is independently tested and proven to actively draw moisture away from your skin to the surface layer where it evaporates more quickly to keep you dry.

Skins Temperature Control

Skins™ unique smart fabric works to optimize your body temperature in both warm and cool conditions. The enhanced circulatory effect of the fabric warms your muscles quickly. The superior wicking properties and the large surface area of fabric close to your skin promotes evaporative cooling (the principle cooling mechanism of the body). This maintains body temperature more constantly, helping your body perform better for longer.

As precious play time dwindles with our hectic lifestyles, consumers are seeking ‘Done-in-a-Day’ adventures. GoLite’s sleek, durable, and comfortable new Bottle Packs rock your world, not your hips. No Bull. No Bounce.

Trail Running. Excess water, food, clothing, and gear make you run slower (particularly on the climbs), increase your risk of stress injuries, and cause small changes in your running form that can be damaging over the long haul. You should not skimp on food or water during your run, but certainly you can go lite with your hydration pack and clothing. Run faster and run longer by going lite.

GoLite’s Bottle packs don’t bounce. No Bull. Try one and see.

Garmin GPS Wrist Watch

2007-05-27T12:02:00.000-07:00

Garmin GPS Wrist Watch: "A big difference between the Fortrex and Forerunner is that the Fortrex allows you to upload a 'planned' track in advance. It will then guide you throughout the track. With the Forerunner, however, you are not able to upload a 'planned' track in advance. It can only direct you to return back through the last
track your did, the active track.

In summary, it is OK for hiking as an assistance to go back if you get
lost, but not to direct you to a pre-planned spot.
The Forerunner is for runners whereas the Fortrex is designed for hikers."

Lactate at the Track

2004-11-02T07:28:00.000-08:00

THE RUNNING RESEARCH NEWS WEEKLY TRAINING UPDATE

ISSUE # 26 OCTOBER 30, 2004

______________

Hi Everyone,

I have never been a big fan of bloodletting on the track.

Please let me explain what I mean. Most runners, cyclists, swimmers,
triathletes, and coaches have accepted the idea that lactate-threshold
velocity (the speed above which lactate begins to pile up in the blood) is an
important predictor of performance capability. With certain qualifications,
that is a wise acceptance.

As a result of this affirmation, many coaches and athletes actually
measure blood-lactate levels during training. One relatively common practice
is to utilize a "graded" workout in which intervals are conducted at
increasingly fast speeds in order to identify the lactate-threshold velocity,
or LTV. The blood-lactate concentration associated with each speed is plotted
graphically, and the "turn point" - the velocity at which lactate levels make
a dramatic jump - is reckoned.

The estimated LTV is then commonly used in two ways: (1) It can be
regarded as a "benchmark" LTV which should improve if training is going well.
The graded test can be repeated every four to six weeks or so, for example,
and if the new LTV is higher than the old, the athlete can breathe a sigh of
relief and believe that he/she is making progress. (2) In addition,
some athletes carry out 20- to 30-minute, continuous, "tempo" efforts at the
estimated LTV in hopes of fattening LTV further.

As mentioned, underlying all of this is the belief that LTV is a great
marker of fitness - and that competitive ability expands as LTV increases.
However, recent research carried out in Great Britain reveals that this is not
always the case (1). In fact, this important study links
decreases in LTV with better
performances - and increases in LTV with shoddier efforts!

In the British investigation, competitive swimmers (both males and
females) who significantly improved their LTVs from .67 meters per second to
.70 meters per second experienced a significant slow-down
in 400-yard swimming performance from 300 to 308 seconds. In contrast,
experienced swimmers whose LTVs suffered, dropping from .69 to .67 meters per
second, actually upgraded their 400-yard times from
304 to a nifty 298 seconds!

What was going on? As it turned out, the poor link between LTV and
performance was directly related to the athletes' diets. When the swimmers
stepped up their carbohydrate consumption, they performed at a higher
level because their muscles were better-stocked with glycogen. However, they
produced more lactate at any specific speed (lactate is a direct product of
carbohydrate metabolism, upon which the swimmers' muscles relied more heavily
when carb intakes swelled), and thus LTV went south. When the swimmers' diets
were carbohydrate-poor, they swam more slowly because their muscles were
relatively glycogen-depleted, and yet LTV increased because it was hard for
the muscles to cough up much lactate (the sinews had shifted over to a heavier
reliance on fat, the metabolism of which produces very little lactate).

Thus, athletes and coaches who measure lactate levels and estimate LTVs
from those blood readings are in a tough spot! Do those lactate
concentrations really reflect fitness - or diet? Unless such athletes/coaches
absolutely standardize diet and ultimately muscle-glycogen level going into
each test, they will never know. And - such standardization is not the
easiest thing in the world to pull off.

Thus - my avoidance of track bloodletting is not based on phlebotophobia
but rather on difficulties associated with lactate measurement (and the
ultimate use of such measurements, too). Of course, you may be thinking,
"If I can't measure LTV accurately, how can I train at LTV in order to improve
it?"

My simple answer would be that you do not need to train precisely at LTV
in order to upgrade it - and that in fact there are probably many intensities
(above LTV) which are much-more-productive LTV enhancers. Research carried
out by Veronique Billat, for example, has shown that training at vVO2max (the
minimal speed which produces the maximal rate of oxygen consumption) is a
potent LTV booster. Fortunately, the vVO2max test - running all-out on the
track for six minutes - is a resilient exam with very manageable variation
which instantly provides a great training speed (the average velocity
established during the test, which is the estimate of vVO2max). Of course, it
is pleasing that such testing does not require several stabs of the finger or
ear lobe (and that the test itself is over in just six minutes).

The bottom line? During your training, you don't need to measure your
blood lactate or estimate your LTV. If you are carrying out high-quality
training, with judiciously planned efforts at vVO2max and at other eminent
speeds (at 10-K pace and faster), and you are conducting hill training and
running-specific strength training in a systematic way, you can be confident
that you are steadily pushing your LTV in the right direction.

One final note: Many of you may have been wondering why this "weekly"
update has not appeared in your inbox for several weeks. I am sorry to report
to you that my mother passed away on August 28, and I have essentially been
out of action since then. Going forward, however, expect to see your update
in your mailbox each Saturday morning. I thank you all very much for your
patience and support.

Very kindest regards,

Owen Anderson

Safety Advice for Walking� in the Dark: "Night Visibility for Safety
There is danger in the dark - the biggest being vehicles that don't expect you or can't see you. Drivers cannot easily see you through fogged windows and poor weather, and their night vision dims as they age. When wearing a dark jacket and dark pants, you are as invisible during your early morning or evening walks in the winter darkness. And what driver thinks anybody insane enough to walk in winter? We need to walk defensively and take pains to be visible. NOTE: Always stay on the left hand shoulder of the road!
Reflections on reflectivity: Wearing reflective clothing is a good defense against invisibility, but you need to be sure that the reflective areas are large enough and and are exposed from every angle. Do oncoming cars see you, but not those at side streets? Will that little reflective logo on your shirt be enough - especially if you hide it under a jacket?
Pictured: illumiNITE jacket with the camera flash.
Reflective Shoes: Most running shoes now have reflective stripes and many tout their '360 degree reflective' features. If your walking shoes don't have such features, consider a pair of reflective shoelaces or put some reflective tape on your shoes.

Reflective Outerwear: In winter, wearing an extra vest or a reflective jacket can also help keep you warm. Revel Sports has IllumiNITE jackets, vests, windbreakers. and shirts"

THE RUNNING RESEARCH NEWS WEEKLY TRAINING UPDATE

ISSUE # 25 AUGUST 20, 2004

______________

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you have had a great week. As I have mentioned in several previous Weekly Updates, I receive a constant flow of great questions from Update subscribers about training. Recently, one of our Update endorsers submitted the following queries:

Have any scientific studies looked at the effects of swimming on running capacity? I have been swimming a lot lately - about three times a week. The whole point has been to strengthen me further, with a non-impact activity which is kind to my legs. Also, I reasoned that swimming would help boost my maximal aerobic capacity.

However, the swimming seems to have not been kind to my legs at all; it may have made a nagging knee injury worse. In addition, various people have told me that swimming will actually hurt my running. Is this possible? The arguments against swimming seem to center around the idea that swimming will change one's breathing pattern for running and that swimming will somehow confuse one's body during a long run - making it difficult to settle into a good "zone" of effort. What are your thoughts on this?

To answer these questions, I started with a PubMed search using a variety of search terms and phrases associated with running and swimming and retrieved thousands of articles, including such gems as "Walking and Running in the Red-Legged Running Frog, Kassina maculata," which appeared in the January, 2004 edition of the Journal of Experimental Biology.
It took awhile to read all of these epistles; had this not been the case, you would have received your Update earlier in the week. Unfortunately, not a single story addressed the specific question of whether swim training might bolster dry-land running efforts in humans, the species to which our questioner belonged.

So, we will have to use our reasoning powers! First, it is important to note that - for experienced runners - swimming will have no impact whatsoever on running VO2max (maximal aerobic capacity). The reason for this is that VO2max is to a large extent a neuromuscular event - an indicator of the demand which can be placed on the oxygen-delivery system by the neuromuscular system. The neuromuscular system functions quite differently in swimming, compared to running, and thus we shouldn't fantasize that the n-m system will optimize itself for running by developing its ability to control the sinews during strokings - even very vigorous ones - in the pool, bayou, or ocean. Upswings in swimming VO2max don't automatically lead to upsurges in max running aerobic capacity.

It is very possible that swimming could aggravate a running injury. Freestyle swimming, for example, can place a lot of stress on the knees, and if the knee areas are inflamed as a result of a very strenuous running program, such inflammation could worsen during intense and/or prolonged bouts of effort in the pool. Generally, however, this would not be the case. As our Update co-signor has mentioned, swimming is (normally) associated with an absence of impact forces, and this absence can be very beneficial to runners, especially to those who have poor running-specific strength and/or to those who tend to batter themselves badly with their running training.

The breathing issue is actually a non-problem; the human body is amazingly adaptable, and the respiratory system has a good sense of whether the body with which it is associated is in water or moving along on dry ground. Breathing a bit strangely while swimming will not hurt one's breathing capacity during running exertions.

But can swimming aid running performances? We do know that deep-water running can maintain land-based running performances over periods of about four weeks or so (references 1 & 2). However, there is no evidence at all that deep-water running, which is more specific to terra-firma running than swimming, of course, can actually boost running performances. It might preserve your running fitness, but there is no evidence that it will make you a faster competitor.

One concern about swimming is that some studies have linked systematic swimming, especially in cold water, with increases in body fatness (reference 3). More copious corpulence is hardly a ticket to faster running performances.

The bottom line is that swimming is a great sport - and that a bout of swimming in the pool or in open water can be tremendously relaxing for endurance runners. In addition, if a beat-up endurance runner just can't rest and substitutes a swim workout for a hard 10-miler, the results will be positive (note, however, that in this case the swimming would probably not be better (and might even be worse) for the runner than an enjoyable game of tiddley-winks, since the key happening was actually the avoidance of running). Aside from these indirect effects, however, swimming is as specifically beneficial to running performances as the consumption of a bowl of nettle stew or a rigorous treatment of trepanning.

And now, here are our special offers for this week:

(1) To read a free sample chapter from my new e-book, Great Workouts for Popular Races, please send me a note at owen@rrnews.com, and I will e-mail a chapter to you. To order the book, which has special training sessions for 800-meter, 1500-meter, 5-K, 10-K, half-marathon, marathon, and ultra-marathon runners, please go to http://rrnews.microform.com/great_workouts_popular_races.php

(2) Anyone who takes out new subscriptions to three of our publications will automatically receive a free copy of my e-book. This can be easier on your pocketbook than you might think. For example, if you already have a subscription to Running Research News, the subs. to Cycling Research News and Swimming Research News would only be $17.50 each, and the sub. to Weight-Loss Research would be $35, hitting you for the grand total of $70. To order three new subs., please log in with your username and password first. If you do not have a username and password (in other words, if you have no current subscriptions), please go to http://www.rrnews.com/sample-issues.htm, start a subscription, and then use the username and password you establish to order the other two subs. If you already have three (or four) subscriptions, simply renew three of them (don't forget to log in first), and the e-book will be yours.

(3) Several years ago I wrote an article called "Things Your Mother Forgot to Tell You about Cross Training" which explained why cross training can be good for runners and actually ranked cross-training activities from cycling (then # 1 but now # 2) all the way down to golf, which at # 12 came in just ahead of cigar smoking. If you do anything with a subscription (i. e., renew your existing subscription or start a new sub.), I'll send you this article for free. Just drop me an e-mail note to indicate that you have done something, and I'll e-mail the article to you immediately. To renew your sub., log in at http://www.rrnews.com and then - after you have logged in - click on the renewal area on the ensuing page. To start a new sub. to any one of our four publications, simply go to http://www.rrnews.com/sample-issues.htm, and click on one of the start-a-subscription buttons.

(4) I have open dates in my schedule on November 12-13, 2004 and also on January 21-22, 2005. Please let me know if you would like to have me speak to your running club/group on one of those dates; my rates are very reasonable. The contact e-mail address is owen@rrnews.com

Very kindest regards,

Socks � too boring? Not if they're a pair of Oxysox.
Oxysox have graduated compression to stabilize the foot and ankle, increase the blood flow to the calf muscles and reduce leg fatigue. The pressure applied by the socks starts at the foot and tapers off at the calf. The makers say that helps blood return more rapidly to the heart and lungs.
The socks also give significant support to the Achilles tendon, calf, tibia and ankle. Think of them as a type of support hose for athletes.

Running clothes and running products that focus on enjoyment and safety: "'I've always been interested in the gadgets that would help me measure exactly how far I had run and gave me an idea on whether I was actually getting any better. Last year I managed to get hold of the Timex Speed and Distance GPS watch and have been running pretty regularly with it since Summer. Then this Spring, I bought a Garmin Forerunner 201 as a replacement. The Garmin has plenty of advantages on paper when compared to the Timex. But how do they both compare when you actually run with them. As the GPS part of the Timex is also 'made by Garmin' the distance measuring is equally good in both devices. The Forerunner seems able to get a sattelite fix quicker than the Timex - but the difference is not really that marked.
Note that the Timex consists of the GPS module that you have to strap to your upper arm and of the watch that receives and displays the data. The Germin is an all in one device where the GPS module is integrated. When it comes to weight - there is a large difference: The Forerunner weighs in at 0.078 Kgs and the Timex combo at 0.228 Kgs. So, what do I want from a GPS running gadget - well here's my list:
Easy to operate and read while running (Forerunner 201)
Light in weight and doesn't get in the way (Forerunner 201)
Distance measuring (both)
History of distances run (so I don't have to write my runs down) (Forerunner 201)
Ok, any owners of the Forerunner will be seeing where this is going and indeed, the Forerunner beats the socks off the Timex.
Here are the points that really make it stand out:
It's small, light and all-in-one.
The display is big and easy to read.
It stores all my runs for me.

Although precise measurements are done on a treadmill with equipment measuring oxygen uptake, you can estimate yours from a recent running race. The race distance should be between about one mile and a marathon (or about 1500 meters to 50 km). Distances outside this range will not give meaningful results, since performance is limited by factors other than VO2 MAX. You can also use this form to predict your performance at other distances. Once you find your VO2 MAX, try entering times for other distances that give the same value.

Last February, four of the top 10 finishers in the U.S. Marathon Championships wore knee-highs, including third- and fourth-place finishers Clint Verran and Jeff Campbell. Campbell improved his marathon personal record from 2:19:18 to 2:16:26. "1 use them after hard workout days to help flush out my legs," he says. "After my 2:16, my lower legs definitely felt better than the rest of my body. The socks really work for me."

Executives at Oxysocks claim their Lycra -and-CoolMaxbased pressure socks can improve a runner's max VO2 by increasing blood return from the legs to the heart. They note that patients with vascular disease in the legs have benefited from similar socks, and that compression tights were shown to improve leg strength in a Penn State University study.

Sugoi Performance Running Apparel

Sugoi Performance Running Apparel

Revel Sports has selected Sugoi as a prime vendor. Their quality and depth of product in running, biking, nordic, and trialthon apparel is just what we are looking for. Watch for the new fall products arriving soon. These will greatly broaden our selection.

The word Sugoi is Japanese for "incredible", and the legions of Sugoi users across the world are in unanimous agreement that Sugoi's products, Sugoi's service and Sugoi's people live up to that billing.

Established in 1987, Sugoi was founded with the mission of making excellent performance athletic wear for bike racers. Since then, Sugoi's product line has grown to include a full range of running, triathlon and fitness apparel, but the original quest for excellence has remained central.

From humble basement beginnings, Sugoi has rapidly grown into a leading manufacturer of high performance athletic apparel, with extensive distribution in North America, Europe and Asia. Through the growth, the original partners have remained true to their vision--every garment that carries the Sugoi name is still designed, developed and made by Sugoi's over 200 full-time employees spread across two buildings in the heart of Vancouver.

Sugoi was among the very first companies to recognize that recreational athletes want and need high performance clothing just much as do pros. Thus, while Sugoi has a complete line of sleek and form-fitting race wear for running, cycling and triathlon, this technology is also used to make outstanding apparel that fits and flatters the recreational athlete.

Sugoi has remained at the forefront of athletic clothing by continuing to design clothes that offer an unmatched combination of performance, fit and fashion. Sugoi continues to work on the cutting edge of clothing technology, with fabrics that are often proprietary and always highly functional. Constantly improving production techniques mean that Sugoi's products can offer remarkable value while remaining 100 per cent North American made.

Provide great performance, value and service, and always act with integrity. It is a simple formula, but it is the one that continues to be the heart and soul of Sugoi's remarkable success.
