🇬🇧🏋️‍♀️💪 "Recovering from an injury is complicated for everyone!

If someone had told me (without knowing beforehand 😅) after this 1000m race that I set a record in the 30-39 age group in 2:50.4 precisely on March 28th, two years ago, I would have never believed it.

After two years of injuries, one knee with osteoarthritis, and two surgeries in 2022, there was a moment when I had almost lost hope.

Not that this 1000m makes me smile now (well, maybe in a certain way, compared to two years ago), but it's a starting point for me.

Everyone in life has a moment when their hopes and desire to fight for a goal decrease.
Often it seems that destiny wants to play against us.

I think you too have said "Enough, I give up" but it's precisely in this moment that you have to raise your head and .

Start again, start a new journey that will lead you towards new goals that you never imagined at first.

Here's where I'm starting from: 3:24.2 on a 1000m with the goal, despite being 41 years old, of coming back better than before and maybe even improving my personal best.🥇🏆

And you? What new goal would you like to achieve? 💭💭

Write it in the comments, maybe I can give you some advice to help you!

📣🧠 The synergy between caffeine and theanine can help reduce the negative side effects of caffeine! 🤯💊 📚

If you're like me and rely on caffeine to get you through the day, you may have experienced jitters, anxiety, or trouble sleeping. However, theanine, a naturally occurring amino acid found in tea, has been shown to have calming effects on the brain. When combined with caffeine, theanine can help reduce the negative side effects commonly associated with caffeine consumption, such as jitters and anxiety.

According to a study published in the Journal of Nutritional Neuroscience, theanine promotes relaxation and reduces the stimulating effects of caffeine. This can lead to increased focus and attention, without the negative side effects of caffeine. Another study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the combination of theanine and caffeine improved cognitive performance and reduced mental fatigue in subjects performing demanding cognitive tasks.

So next time you need a pick-me-up, try pairing your coffee or tea with a theanine supplement for a more balanced and productive day! ☕️🍵

New research suggests that drinking concentrated organic beetroot juice 🧃(BR) rich in nitrate (NO−3) can reduce spleen volume at rest and increase hemoglobin (Hb) concentration.

The spleen stores red blood cells that can be mobilized during physical stress, which can enhance oxygen transport.

This previously unexplored mechanism could contribute to the performance-enhancing effects of dietary NO−3 supplementation during exercise, apnea, and hypoxia.

Are you ready to take the Beetroot Juice after breath hold performance?

300-600mg of nitrate should be sufficient to increase the performance

🌊Did you know that ashwagandha, a natural herb used in traditional medicine, may have benefits for freediving performance?

Recent studies have suggested that ashwagandha can reduce stress levels, making it a potential supplement for freedivers to consider.

One study published in the International Journal of Ayurveda Research found that participants who took ashwagandha had increased oxygen consumption and improved cardiovascular endurance compared to those who took a placebo.

This suggests that ashwagandha could help freedivers use oxygen more efficiently and increase their endurance during dives.

Ashwagandha has also been found to have stress-reducing effects. A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that participants who took ashwagandha had reduced cortisol levels (a stress hormone) and reported feeling less anxious compared to those who took a placebo.

This is important for freedivers, as stress and anxiety can negatively impact performance.

While ashwagandha shows promise as a potential supplement for freediving, it's important to use it safely and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. As with any supplement, it's always a good idea to speak with your doctor or a sports nutritionist before incorporating it into your routine.

If you're a freediver looking for ways to improve your performance, ashwagandha could be a natural supplement to consider.

🟡 The importance of strength 🟡
🇺🇸🇬🇧A lot of freedivers thinks weightlifting is not important to raise the performance.
Instead, strength training is one of the most important thing to dive with less fatigue and more effective.
Known your Indirect Weight max is a good way to organize workouts.
Use Brycki formula
Weight lifted ÷ (1.0278 - (0.0278 × reps) )
Then, use 85% to do 5sets x 5reps with the best exercises you need.
Squat, for example, is the top to train DNF.
And you? Which kind of workout you do? 👆🏼.
🇮🇹 Molti apneisti pensano che il sollevamento pesi non sia importante per aumentare le prestazioni.

Invece, l'allenamento della forza è una delle cose più importanti per immergersi con meno fatica ed essere più efficaci.

Conoscere il tuo massimale indiretto è un buon modo per organizzare gli allenamenti.

Usa la formula Brycki

Peso sollevato ÷ (1.0278 - (0.0278 × numero di ripetizioni))

Quindi, usa l'85% per fare 5 serie x 5 ripetizioni con gli esercizi più adatti a te.

Lo squat, ad esempio, è il massimo per allenare DNF.

E tu? Che tipo di allenamento fai?

In this cases, how to do that effectively?

The first step is know the parameters of fat, muscle, hydration and cellular function.

We used some tests like BIA, skinfolds, thermal imaging camera and more.

After that we set a nutrition and supplements plan to have maximum benefits for race!

Follow us to know how you can become a champion with a correct approach.

🟡 Durante quest’anno particolare abbiamo solo 2 mesi per programmare la periodizzazione🟡

In questi casi, come si può farlo con efficacia?

Il primo step è conoscere i parametri di grasso, massa muscolare, idratazione e funzione cellulare.

Abbiamo usato vari test come la BIA, le pliche, la termocamera e molto altro.

Il secondo passaggio è quello di organizzare il piano alimentare e di integrazione per avere i massimi benefici durante la gara.
