Οι ανάγκες ενυδάτωσης διαφέρουν πολύ από άθλημα σε άθλημα, και η σωστή στρατηγική μπορεί να κρίνει την απόδοση. Αυτό το άρθρο εξηγεί γιατί οι ποδηλάτες, οι δρομείς, οι τριαθλητές και οι αθλητές ομαδικών αθλημάτων χρειάζονται διαφορετική προσέγγιση στην ενυδάτωση και πώς να βρείτε τι σας ταιριάζει καλύτερα.

Growing up in Falmouth, Maine, Clara Brown was an avid athlete enjoying everything from gymnastics to running and skiing. One of four siblings, her parents were keen on keeping the family active and involved in a variety of activities and sports. At the age of 12, Clara’s life changed forever when she sustained a serious injury at gymnastics practice, leaving her with a broken neck and a damaged spinal cord.

While 2020 brought about a pause on the races and events, INFINIT Pros Ryan Petry and Alexey Vermeulen also witnessed the pandemic-driven uptick in people starting to ride. Being lifelong lovers of cycling, they sought out a way to help really immerse these new riders into the sport. This is where the From the Ground Up Project was born. Out of thousands of submissions that came in from across the country, Ryan & Alexey had the difficult task of narrowing it down to just 3 riders to take under their wing and equip with everything needed to start training. 

At 17 years old, Shangrila Rendon and her family moved from Manila, Philippines to Chino Hills, California. She entered the states as a teenager and took on the heavy responsibility of supporting her family as they worked to establish their new life in a new country.

By now you’ve probably had a race that has either been postponed to a later date this fall or otherwise cancelled until next year's event. For me, 2020 was supposed to be an exciting year of racing as a member of the USA Paratriathlon National Team as a guide for blind triathlete Brad Snyder as we looked to qualify and race at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Just like the Olympics, the Paralympics were pushed back a year to 2021 along with most (potentially all) of the ITU races this year.

Picture this… your heart has been beating over 150 bpm for the last 2 hours, you’re fighting dehydration, it’s over 100 degrees, your appetite is low, and you feel your body and your brain starting to fade. Sound familiar? Now image all those things but stuffed inside the cramped, loud cabin of a race car.

Team INFINIT veteran, Dede Greisbauer, explains why she recently decided to go through physiological and metabolic testing, what the experience was like, and how the results affected her nutrition plan.

The role of women in today’s society has certainly evolved over the last 100 years. There are more female CEOs than ever; more women are choosing careers in business, science and law. There has also been a notable rise in women in sports. In 1972, Title IX was signed to provide everyone equal access to programs and activities (i.e. sports), that receives federal financial assistance. Since then there has been a 545% increase in the percentage of women playing college sports and a 990% increase in the percentage of women playing high school sports. Being a woman, and athlete myself, it’s amazing to see the progression over time and how far we’ve come.

Balance is an art, not a science. It is not black and white; what works for one person may not work for another. Team INFINIT Pro Triathlete and full time Nurse Practitioner Alycia Hill shares the 8 mantras she lives by to help juggle training & life.

They juggle the demands of taking care of a family, building a career, and essentially organising the chaos of everyday life, and that’s just before noon. Yet somehow make it all look so easy. We honour the multitasking mums of Team INFINIT. We probably all have memories of our mums helping us learn how to ride a two-wheeler, getting up early to shuttle us to swim practice, and sitting through all-day meets and competitions.

Το SUP μπορεί να βελτιώσει τη σταθερότητα από τα δάχτυλα των ποδιών μέχρι το κεφάλι, τη δύναμη και τη σταθερότητα του κορμού και των ποδιών, κάτι που βοηθά στην πρόληψη τραυματισμών.
