The Benefits of Saunas for Athletes
Professional and amateur athletes need to pay more attention to having sauna.
Professional and amateur athletes need to pay more attention to having sauna. Doctors and experts are divided into two camps: some of them think that the sauna is not compatible with training, while others strongly recommend going to the sauna regularly, especially before and after the game. In this article, we will discuss whether athletes should go to the sauna?
The sauna as an exercise method for athletes
For a long time, experts, doctors, and rehabilitation therapists have studied the pros and cons of sauna for professional athletes and amateurs. Finnish doctors have been particularly successful in this field. They often write reports on the subject and give speeches at symposiums. They came to some interesting conclusions. The sauna is the most effective hardening method for professional athletes. Changes in temperature make it possible to establish the stability and adequacy of the vascular response to external stimuli. Therefore, people are adapted to high and low temperature more easily. According to Finnish doctors and statistics, athletes who regularly goes to sauna rooms are less likely to suffer from respiratory diseases and inflammation.
Sauna can maintain your best body shape
Even in the off-season, athletes need to keep their body shape at their peak. The sauna training is not worse than physical exercise. For example, the heart rate when entering a sauna is similar to the heart rate of standard sports activities. Therefore, according to experts, the journey to the sauna room is equivalent to a 3 km long cross-country race. Although a complex load is observed during running, the cardiovascular system of the plant is activated during the stay in the sauna and the metabolic processes in the body are triggered.
Saunas ensure a powerful relaxation effect. This is another reason doctors recommend saunas to professional athletes. Sauna can have a nourishing effect on the central nervous system, not only reducing physical stress, but also reducing mental stress.
How should athletes go to the sauna according to the intensity of training?
The time and frequency of going to the sauna play an important role. Therefore, in order to quickly recover physical strength after training, the stay time in the sauna should be appropriate. If exercise is accompanied by a lot of sweat loss, you should take a shower first.
In most cases, it is recommended to use the sauna during "gradual recovery period" (ie a few hours or the next day after a game or continuous exercise). In this case, the sauna has a real magical effect on the body: it can relieve joint pain, improve breathing, general conditions and mood.
If athletes are advised to use sauna to restore their strength, they must be hydrated immediately after exercise. It is useful to go to the sauna during off hours, or even better having a sauna before going to bed. If you plan to go to the sauna during lunch time, you should rest for two to three hours before lunch.
You should consulting a doctor before go to the sauna room. And the athlete's training time should be considered.
The best way to have a sauna regularly is to build a 2 person indoor sauna at home.

Pints & Parkruns: Jubilee, Spennymoor
If MC Escher created a parkrun, it might look a bit like Jubilee. Based in a compact – but surprisingly lovely – park in the small County Durham town of Spennymoor, it twists and turns its way up repeated hills. Although basic physics says it must come down again, somehow this route never feels like it gives runners a proper descent.

FASHION SAAVY
IRIS APFEL SET THE STAGE, usually seen in her large circle lens eyewear, for the unimaginable in older women's "fancy style." She was the "unexpected." She brought life back into the "absent years." She awakened courage in women who had spun their wiles long ago, so long ago in their lives that worries and time washed self worth further away than just "under the rug." When a majority of women, tired from the winner's lot of "equal rights" to tow the rope (regardless of how heavy or how taut) noticed women in their own group by age status, it was "the bomb." It brought an awakening of encouragement for older women. Enter Iris Apfel... an aged "come to surface" fashioning model, clothing statement desinger. Iris Apfel was outstanding in her regalia of shocking color and textile. She ignored the issue of age and poured life in the streets, onto film and more recently, on the New York runways among the rich and famous as defined by film and screen. They announced that she had won by sheer bravado in her fashion design and wit for combining the auspicious elements of accent. Her four inch round lenses on eyewear, heavy layers of unimagineable ornament scaled beads... some in precious metals and pearls... complimented by scarves, hats and bracelets all carved a niche not discovered by Hollywood and it's prestaged closets. She was fashion rebirthed.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
