Souvenir Program

Why would you place a young soccer player on an exercise machine when they have their own body to use?

From a sport therapists' perspective strength training for youth soccer players needs to functional.

The goal of any type of strength training program is to overcome or control resistance. This may be in a form of weights, sand bags, medicine balls or tires. The key is performing the correct exercise that is appropriate for the age group.

Next let us compare two exercises and decide which ones has a better value for athletic performance on soccer field. First let us look at the leg extension (sitting with leg bent at knee) and the lunge.

Many high schools and gyms have some form of the universal leg extension machine. I know because I have seen it and used it in the past in both high school and at the gym as well soccer players telling me what they are doing in gym class. It is easy for some one to sit on a seat and hold handles at the side an do straighten the leg (extension).

Ask your self this question " at what point in a soccer game does a player sit on the ground and straighten his or her legs?"

Let us take a close at the action of the reverse lunge. We start with our legs shoulder width apart then take a step back. From that position we drive both he back leg forward and front leg up with as much force as possible. As we do this the back leg is moving forward.

So let us look at positives of both exercises. The leg extension allows you to be seated so that your "core" is relaxed.

The reverse lunge forces you to maintain balance, brace the core and drive the leg forward for soccer strength, soccer power and soccer speed. It closely resembles the action of running or sprinting and of
course these actions occur during a soccer game.

The other thing with the reverse lunge is that there is a focus on single leg strength. This type of strength is overlooked in many machine type exercise programs. Most machine type exercises have you seated or lying on your back using both legs. Is this " functional"?.

As an Athletic Therapist with a focus on injury prevention I find that many hamstring and quadricep muscle injuries may be avoided if players just focused on total body functional exercises like the lunge, squat or hip lift as compared to isolation machine exercises like the hamstring curl or leg extension.

How much cash for trip to Italy?

So, on July 4th I will be leaving for Italy and staying until July 31st. It's kinda like a study abroad program. I was just wondering how much spending cash I am going to need. My residence is already paid for since its part of the program cost so no need to worry about that. I figure I will be eating out a bunch but not all of the time and I definitely will be buying a bunch of wine. And I also am going to be buying souvenirs. So how much do you think for a months trip?

First, you should bring an ATM card rather than all cash. ATMs here are called Bancomats - it's cheaper than exchanging money usually. If your bank reimburses you for transaction fees from other banks, then you're in great shape. If not, then make fewer, larger withdrawals to minimize the fees.

To a large extent, you control how much you're spending. It depends on where you are, and what you buy. Most wine is relatively inexpensive here if you're not buying something like a top of the line Brunello di Montalcino. For food, if you're buying panini or pizza by the slice, you may end up paying around 6.50 euro and up in a place like Venice. Generally when I go out, I end up spending 25 to 50 euro for a good dinner. You can eat for somewhat less in most places by having only a first course (e.g., pasta) or a second course (e.g., meat or fish) rather than both. Restaurants have menus and prices posted so you'll be able to look around while you're out sightseeing and decide. Just for reference: A coke at many places like train stations will run 1.50 to 2.50 euro, but the store where I shop had the same thing for 65 euro cents last night. A McDonald's McMenu goes for around 6.50 euro depending on exactly where you are. I don't actually recommend eating at McDonald's while you're here though. You can generally save money buying fruit and such in a local market rather than eating out all the time. You can get a pizza and drink for 10 to 15 euro depending on where you are and what you order.

There are often very good deals on food at local festivals. The city fair just ended in the town where I live and I was in the food tent or at one of the gastronomic stands every night and never paid more than 8 euro for things like stracotto con polenta, maltagliati con fagioli, bigoli, piadina con salsiccia cippole e pepperoni, or risotto alla pilota plus a half liter of water.

There's no way to predict the cost of souvenirs without some idea of what you might be buying. There are cheap trinkets for a few euro up to some things that could be thousands of Euro. You should decide on what you think you can afford and buy according to that as you go.

If you're going to go out exploring using the trains, you can get an idea of the schedules and prices here: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepage_en.html

If you're anywhere near Venice, the 18th of July is a good time to be here for the Il Redentore festival. The fireworks over the lagoon are very good.
