“Movement is a fundamental element of being human. In today’s society, however, we live in a constant lack of movement, ”says Prof. Schneider. Jobs are often only done while sitting, we hardly have to strain ourselves to eat, and we no longer have to leave the house to talk to others. The expert: “Sport is, so to speak, the artificial substitute for this lack of exercise.” And it not only helps to keep the body healthy: the body, psyche and social life all benefit from regular physical activity! 3 effects that sport has on the psyche In the short term: Sport is a stress killer. Prof. Schneider: “For evolutionary reasons, the stress hormones are essential for survival. They release forces that enable us to fight, hunt – or run away as the hunted. Nowadays it is of course not a solution to hand out a colleague or run away when something is stressing us. So this sewerage through movement is missing. But if we do a strenuous workout, then we reduce stress in a very effective and socially acceptable way. “ In the medium term: sleep gets better, thinking skills benefit. “Sport makes you tired. Those who are tired sleep better and thus have better cognitive performance the next day. “ Long-term: We remain flexible, capable of learning and adapting. “We know that sport leads to neurogenesis and synaptogenesis in the long term, that is, to the formation of new nerve cells and interconnections of nerve cells.” And social life is also linked to exercise: on the one hand we like to do sports with our fellow human beings, on the other hand interpersonal skills are strengthened by moving together – #nice, right? How can exercise help you? Problem 1: Insecurity, little self-confidence, fear of conflict 🤼♂️ Solution: (kick) boxing, fitboxing, Krav Maga, martial arts etc. ▶ ︎ Explanation: It was no coincidence that during school days it was always the sports cannons who were bursting with self-confidence: “Climbing trees, playing football and playing catch – we test ourselves physically in childhood, and that gives us confidence in our own body and in ourselves. ”We notice what the body can do, we get to know disciplines in which we are really good – that wipes away uncertainties and affects all areas of life. “So it is elementary that children try out many different sports, and calmly notice what it is like to fall down and get up again. Practice creates masters. These are physical experiences that also help in further life. Fight, don’t always give up immediately and sometimes fall on your face, in the proverbial sense, but then have the strength and courage to carry on. “ Even in adulthood, exercise can give self-confidence: “Sports such as martial arts, self-defense, etc. should be mentioned here in particular. Even the body language you learn while boxing, for example, signals self-confidence, ”says the sports expert. This feeling then carries over to other conflicts in private or at work. Problem 2: Lack of creativity, difficulty in making decisions 🚵♀️ Solution: A demanding workout, e.g. cycling in difficult terrain, yoga in challenging poses or jogging, swimming, or the like. at full throttle. ▶ ︎ Explanation: Taking a break from difficult cognitive activities is always good for the brain. If you do sport during a break like this, it has an even more blatant effect: “For movements, completely different brain areas are activated than for pure mental work. So computing power is taken from the frontal cortex (which is mainly responsible for thinking) and sent to the motor cortex (which controls movements). Incidentally, this can be proven electrophysiologically and happens in this way at any age. In this way, the frontal cortex can first regenerate and after this break it is more receptive to logical operations and flashes of inspiration. And the more intense the movement, the stronger the phenomenon! ”Explains Prof. Schneider. Problem 3: Teamwork is difficult, problems of trust among colleagues 🧗♂️Solution: tackle sporting challenges with colleagues: hiking, running, etc. ▶ ︎ Explanation: “Trust in fellow human beings is also created at a young age. Team sports are particularly important for children and their team skills. But even in adulthood, among colleagues, for example, sport can make a difference. And that by simply mastering a sporting challenge with your team: climbing a mountain as a team or taking part in a city run. Once you’ve sweated and suffered together, then suddenly there is a completely different relationship of trust, ”the expert knows. That leads to seeing colleagues in a completely different light, and it will almost certainly have an effect on the work together. Problem 4: Frustration or anger that you can’t let go of 🏃♂️ Solution: Do sports, preferably intensively. ▶ ︎ Explanation: Even angry and frustrated thoughts take a back seat when doing sports. Spirals of thought are broken, negative emotions are weakened. “In addition, the physical ‘pain’ that we feel during exertion re-engages us, making problems or sources of frustration appear in a completely different light,” says the neuroscientist. And after the sport unit, a feeling of happiness automatically sets in when the physical pain of the exertion subsides and you know that you have achieved something – no more room for negative emotions! And when we are in a better mood, we automatically appear friendlier, so exercise can even make us nicer people! Problem 5: Lack of motivation and drive 🤾♀️ Solution: Do sports – preferably in company! ▶ ︎ Explanation: Movement is always a help for listlessness and sadness. “At the same time, it is of course particularly difficult in this case to arouse the motivation for the sport itself,” the neuroscientist classifies the problem. The recommendation: have the will and immediately make an appointment with someone you trust or, ideally, with a group to do sports. “Once you know that others are waiting for you, it is more difficult to cancel.” And finally, all other positive effects occur in sport: brooding takes a back seat, happiness hormones flood the body, you feel connected to your sport colleagues. Even if you notice that people in your immediate environment – possibly in or after a difficult phase – have problems motivating themselves: actively approach them, arrange sports dates. This helps you to help the other and yourself alike. Getting involved in sport on a regular basis therefore has enormously positive effects in many ways. Every single training session (provided you don’t overdo it, of course) is good for us! “And sport is THE retirement provision par excellence. Quite apart from the many good effects on physical health, sport keeps us flexible, enables long independence, adaptability and many contacts into old age! “
What to look for in functional clothing for outdoor sports
Those who take their training seriously do the same with their sports outfit – also, but not only, for style reasons. Find out what the appropriate functional clothing is for different sports – depending on the weather and the season. When it comes to functional clothing, it comes down to the cut, which, depending on the sporting discipline, must guarantee the necessary freedom of movement. And when it comes to processing, you should also pay closer attention: Functional clothing with special flat seams or so-called bondings, in which the individual fabric ends are welded together so that there is no uncomfortable pressure or pinch, is preferable. But almost more important: the material. Depending on the training conditions, it should warm or cool, protect and / or compress. In everyday fashion, still one of the most popular materials, cotton has largely left the sports segment. Not without reason: as pleasantly soft as cotton feels on the skin, it is so difficult to absorb sweat. As a result, its fibers soak up full, increase their volume and the fabric becomes damp and heavy on the skin. Running: what should you watch out for in functional clothing? Cut : For runners, tight-fitting cuts that don’t flap or flap in the wind are recommended. They can also absorb sweat from the skin in the best possible way and transport it to the outside. Everything else – whether cropped tops, ankle-length or knee-length trousers – depends on individual preferences. Material : More and more manufacturers are relying on man-made fibers made from synthetic polymers, such as microfibers and polyester, for their running lines. They are light and durable, keep their shape for a long time and are not prone to creasing. One of the main advantages of synthetic fibers is that they wick away moisture well and dry quickly if you have sweated in them. Nevertheless, you should wash synthetic functional clothing regularly, as it tends to develop odors. Cycling: what should you watch out for in functional clothing? Cut : Here, too, the clothing should be tight-fitting, if only so as not to end up in the chain or get tangled on the pedals and also for better sweat transport. Tops for cyclists are usually cut short at the front and longer at the back to protect the kidneys – if you get out in the rain and it is windy on top of that, there is a risk of hypothermia in this sensitive area while biking. Material : Polyester fibers with elastic components are also recommended for cycling, both on the top and bottom. High-quality bike pants that offer comfort on longer tours no longer have anything to do with the wafer-thin cycling shorts that we used to wear on school trips. You ride well with an anatomically shaped seat pad in the buttocks area, which distributes the pressure evenly on the seat and pubic bones – ideally made of antibacterial quality. Hiking: What should you watch out for in functional clothing? Cut : Loose, movement-friendly cuts are ideal for you. However, they shouldn’t be too far – especially when hiking on cooler days, several layers of clothing are often necessary on top of each other. Long pants protect against possible sunburn, ticks and mosquitoes, but they may be too warm in summer. So ideal: zip-up pants with separable legs. Hopefully you have the sunscreen with you anyway. Material : When hiking, outerwear made from a merino wool-silk blend has proven itself, as it warms at low temperatures and has a cooling effect in summer. It is true that merino wool absorbs moisture, but it dissipates it better than cotton and has a natural antibacterial effect – this prevents odor development. When it comes to pants, it depends a lot on where you are hiking. On day trips, for example in the low mountain ranges, particularly light models are preferred, which also protect against UV radiation. In any case, it should be made of synthetic fiber fabrics that are wind resistant, breathable and also dry quickly when you come into the rain. Also interesting: Typical mistakes that you should definitely avoid when hiking Are there other functional clothing for summer than for winter? The idea is obvious, after all, when training in the heat it is essential not to overheat and nobody wants to freeze. Nevertheless, the material of functional clothing always remains the same, regardless of the temperatures. Of course, as soon as it gets colder, you rely on layered looks with a thermal function, especially when hiking. Fleece underwear is recommended here, along with looser clothing so that heat can be stored in the air between functional washes. Waterproof insulation jackets are essential for outdoor sports in winter . Here personal preference decides between down and polyester jackets. The former are lighter, which many find more pleasant, but clump together in heavy rain and then no longer warm up well. A clear advantage of polyester jackets is that they dry very quickly.
Running expert: “In the beginning, 500 meters are sufficient per unit”
“We couldn’t have wished for a better expert today,” says FITBOOK Move Jam presenter Anna Kraft. And rightly so: If anyone can give tips for a healthy start to running training, then it is Dr. Paul Schmidt-Hellinger, long-distance runner and sports medicine specialist at Charité Berlin. In the 50-kilometer road race, he set the German record, which was also the world’s best performance of the year in 2016. Are you inspired by such success stories? Then put on your running shoes! With the prospect of your own trophies, you should still take your time. “Don’t set too high goals” At least the professional believes that as a beginner you shouldn’t set yourself too high goals. In fact, the very first run should be as short as possible – just 500 meters are enough “for the absolute beginning”, says Schmidt-Hellinger. For the next two or three days, it is important to feel within yourself and observe what is going on in the muscles. Paul Schmidt-Hellinger knows from personal experience that there is no point in overstraining yourself. An injury followed by an operation had put him out of action for more than six months. Then he completed an apparently “relaxed start” back into running training – with a manageable distance of four kilometers – and received the receipt straight away: “I had sore calf muscles and an irritation of the Achilles tendon for over a week.” Tip for beginners: weekly net training times Beginners can do better if they adhere to the expert advice and “weekly net training times”. Dr. Paul Schmidt-Hellinger and his colleagues from sports medicine prescribe this orientation as a recipe for beginners. “In level one there are 30 minutes of net training time per week,” he explains, which can be divided into three units of eight to ten minutes each. Training bites, one could say. And even they don’t have to be powered through. “One possibility would be to run in for two minutes and then jog four times for one minute each time,” says the expert, “with walking breaks in between.” There are also clear guidelines for increasing these weekly net training times. “You increase according to the rule of ten,” says Schmidt-Hellinger. “That means you increase by ten percent per week.” So in week two it would be about 33 minutes, in week three 36 to 37 minutes, and so on. The other expert talks of the FITBOOK MOVE JAM 2020 Regeneration after training – fitness professor Dr. Stephan Geisler Performance enhancement with neurocentric training – Luise Walther Recognizing overtraining correctly – fitness professor Dr. Stephan Geisler How do you avoid “shin splints”? FITBOOK user René (“a passionate runner himself,” as he reports) wants to know how to avoid “shin splints” – new German for the uncomfortable shin splint syndrome, a dreaded injury among runners. FITBOOK editor Anna Kessler, who is currently training to run 10 kilometers in under 45 minutes , also struggled with it at first. Dr. Paul Schmidt-Hellinger explains it as “the middle of a muscular chain that arises due to shortening”. More precisely, most people have a shortened hip flexor muscle. The reason for this: the amount of sitting that is common in our society. Likewise, the muscles in the thighs are often shortened, which pulls the legs inwards. In addition, there is a tendency towards the hollow back. If you now run longer, and then on harder ground, the arch of the foot sinks. “When the arch of the foot sags, it pulls the insertion of the shinbone muscles down.” If this pull always comes in the same three-dimensional vector – for example, because one only ever runs on the treadmill or on straight stretches – it could cause the stabbing complaints of the tibial splint syndrome . Orthopedists speak of an overload of the periosteum.
When Loris Karius targets the freekickerz
Not only do they face every challenge on the lawn, the freekickerz also give their all on the console. This time, the Youtubers compete against a true boss – goalkeeping star Loris Karius. Just this much: you are released for shooting. Among other things, the FC Liverpool keeper fires at 130 km / h from a ball machine at the boys and in Call of Duty: Warzone with them at virtual snipers. It’s sometimes weird, sometimes blatant and always so funny that even the battered losers have to laugh too. How did this battle come about? The YouTube channel freekickerz is probably known to every football fan on the Internet. Founder Konstantin Hert, alias “Konzi”, and five buddies, all of them soccer fans and table footballers, dedicate themselves to the art of the ball in front of the camera. The “Challenges” in which the boys compete against top players are particularly popular with the more than 8 million subscribers. A long-awaited, absolute dream candidate for this was Loris Karius , who, like Konzi, comes from Baden-Württemberg. 1. Challenge: penalty shoot-out with obstacles In the first phase of the challenge, Karius takes on the freekickerz Konzi, Felix and Tim on penalties. A normal penalty would be far too easy, however, so there are nasty little difficulties for everyone – by lot – Karius has to shoot alternately left and right, Konzi has to play with his weak foot, Tim is not allowed to look at goal during his attempts, Felix must aim at the same corner twice in a row. Even under difficult conditions, Loris Karius shoots the ball accurately into the goal. Photo: Call of Duty: Warzone It shows: Tim, midfield star at FC Palatia Limbach, can hold a candle to professional kicker Loris in the penalty shootout. After round five they are both tied with four hits each. Karius suggests as a duel: He goes into the goal and if he holds Tim’s ball, he gets a ball machine as the winner in the next challenge. Karius grins. Karius doesn’t need gloves. Karius holds, rather, takes the ball. What exactly was that with the ball machine? 2. Challenge: Three kicker balls in front of the ball cannon They’re like bunnies with a shotgun, they don’t stand a chance. Konzi, Tim and Felix crowd into the goal, the ball machine is aimed at them. Karius stands behind her and has the fun of his life. For Konzi, Tim and Felix there is no escape from Loris at the ball cannon. Photo: Call of Duty: Warzone In the first stage he will fire footballs at the three in the box at a speed of 90 km / h and try to hit them. Then the next stage is 110 km / h and finally the balls are shot at 130 km / h at the freekickerz. You have to stay between the goal posts and try to evade. Everyone has three lives, each hit wipes out one. Whoever is left at the end has won the thing. It hurts. Tim gets the first hit, a ball with 90 km / h on the bottom. It’s not nice. They band together in fear, cling desperately to the posts, jumping, rolling, screaming. Karius laughs. But, unbelievable – all of them survive this phase of the Call of Duty: Warzone-style challenges and make it into the third round. 3. Challenge: Teamwork in Call of Duty: Warzone For the final challenge, it goes from the seat to the Playstation and the cards are completely shuffled. Being a super kicker doesn’t help much in Call of Duty. It still counts who can aim and shoot best – but on opponents who want to kill you with various weapons (spoiler alert: a ball cannon is not one of them). Now the goalkeeper star Loris Karius has to prove himself on the virtual field of Call of Duty: Warzone. Photo: Call of Duty: Warzone At least Karius and the freekickerz had the chance to prepare. The free to play title Call of Duty: Warzone from Activision has been available for free on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC since March. In addition to our four challengers, more than 75 million players worldwide have followed the call of the Battle Royale to prove themselves as a lone fighter or as a team in the action world. An enemy armed to the teeth can lurk around every corner, and up to 150 players take on each other at the same time. How are you supposed to survive this? With teamwork, our boys compete in a squad of four. Your last challenge wins, whoever gets the most kills. Easy right? Yes, and very fun to watch. Felix is a permanent guest at the Gulag, where you can fight to return to the game after being shot down, Karius wants (typically Schwabe) to keep the money together and Konzi usually stands alone on various roofs and waits for reinforcements who never come. The free to play title Call of Duty: Warzone is available for free on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Photo: Call of Duty: Warzone At the end of the challenge, Felix had the most kills (5), Konzi and Karius three each and Tim, well, was there too (0). However, the four of them won’t let it be good, but will return to the controllers as soon as possible. New seasons and updates are regularly launched in the Warzone. After the game is always before the game!
Those who are athletic get through the corona crisis better mentally
Researchers at the University of Potsdam have launched an exciting study that examines how (positively) sport affects our psyche worldwide. Right now, in times of Corona, more important than ever. The ancient Romans already knew it. Or at least the Roman poet Juvenal: Mens sana in corpore sano (“a healthy mind in a healthy body”). Researchers at the University of Potsdam come to this conclusion (and others). They are currently investigating how the corona crisis affects everyday sport. But also how sport influences our psyche in this extreme situation. The researchers found that out Director of Studies Prof. Dr. Ralf Brand – with the support of sports scientists from all over the world – was able to establish two interesting correlations. These can be found in the press release from the University of Potsdam . People who used to exercise and / or exercise regularly two to three times a week before the corona pandemic tend to train more than before People who have not previously moved or only moved irregularly are currently moving even less. Another subsequent finding is: Those who are athletic get through the corona crisis better mentally. “Moving is not only good for the body, but also for the soul. We currently measure a more positive sense of wellbeing among those who are physically active than those who do not or do not exercise regularly, ”explains the sports psychologist Brand. The interrelations between sport / exercise and mental health are currently of great scientific interest due to the global crisis. Brand added: “The currently politically prescribed changes in people’s lives offer a research situation that we could never have created in the laboratory. This is a great opportunity, especially for us in the behavioral sciences. “ Participants are still being sought for Germany So far around 6300 subjects from 52 countries have participated in the worldwide study. For Germany, further data are required in order to be able to draw state-specific conclusions. If you want to make your contribution to this exciting investigation from the research field of “exercise psychology”, you can do this by means of an approximately ten-minute online survey (available in twelve languages). For the researchers, the definition of sport does not depend on the intensity. Rather, it is about “activities that people are now deliberately planning to at least move a little or do sports”. This includes a walk in the home office lunch break as well as walking in the evening or barbell training at home. The data collected is then compared with the specified consequences for mental well-being. The aim of the study is to better understand whether and how sport can contribute to people being mentally well. In times of Corona, when nobody can really foresee when the sad spook will finally stop, it is more important than it has been for a long time.

These are the symptoms of a “sports allergy”
For those affected, it is not a lame excuse for chronic unwillingness to exercise. FITBOOK explains how so-called stress-induced anaphylaxis (simplified: allergic immune reaction that occurs during physical exertion) becomes noticeable, how dangerous it can become and how one should react to the finding. Exercise-induced anaphylaxis, or EIA for short – is the English technical term for a syndrome that is associated with pathological immune reactions to great physical exertion and exercise. Several publications on the subject are collected in the medical database PMC. Above all, an article from the Medical University of Wroclaw, published in the journal “Current Allergy and Asthma Reports” at the time, has been cited frequently. According to the authors around Wojciech Barg, the rare clinical syndrome, like some other allergies, is potentially life-threatening. In the worst case, an anaphylactic reaction to a food or medicine, for example, can lead to shock – and this can lead to death without emergency therapy. What is an allergy? In allergy sufferers, the immune system responds with excessive defense to actually harmless environmental influences. The one on nuts is particularly dangerous. Here the reaction – an emission of the messenger substance histamine, which has the task of fighting penetrations in the organism – can occur on the smallest crumbs and nut dust. As with most intolerances, there are gradations here. With less severe allergy sufferers, nut protein causes a burning and tingling sensation in the pharynx, in more severe cases breathlessness or even suffocation is possible. Spread and symptoms of an EIA The article cited a UK survey that found that about two percent of the Western population suffered from EIA. The number of those affected is said to have increased in recent years and the number of unreported cases is also higher. EIA symptoms range from itching to redness and a visible rash on the skin, angioedema (also: Quincke’s edema, visible swelling of the skin and mucous membranes), shortness of breath and swallowing disorders, chest and throat tightness, loss of consciousness, sweating, headache and nausea. Causes of the syndrome As with other allergies, there are at most theories about why an EIA arises, but no (yet) reliable scientific explanations. Unfortunately, you cannot cure a sports allergy. If the symptoms appear, they need to be treated to prevent shock. Those affected (less severely) therefore carry allergy sprays or tablets with them, for example – and, incidentally, also sometimes react differently to different sporting disciplines. In very pronounced cases, there is no way around reducing the training intensity. Increasing again is at most leisurely and under strict observation of the condition. About two percent of people have to take it easy in sports to prevent an anaphylactic reaction Nutrition and EIA (= FDEIA) The most common form of sports allergy is said to occur in combination with food. Those affected react particularly strongly if they exercise shortly after eating. It is not always decisive whether it is specific or particularly allergy-prone substances (e.g. soybean, wheat, peanuts) or whether those affected react to the corresponding food without subsequent training. Those affected have to react quickly and correctly The scientists point out that in acute cases, EIA must be treated as (and just as quickly) as any other type of anaphylaxis. The basic active ingredients include epinephrine (adrenaline), antihistamines and systemic corticosteroids. You are unlikely to be affected – especially if you have not yet experienced any symptoms. And if it does, rash, for example, may also be due to the material from which your sportswear is made. However, if you recognize yourself in this post and have stopped exercising in general, a visit to the doctor is recommended for intensive clarification.
