Avatar n tn Numerous small double-blind studies suggest that it can increase athletic performance in sports that involve intense but short bursts of activity. The theory behind its use is that supplemental creatine can build up a reserve of phosphocreatine in the muscles to help them perform on demand. Supplemental creatine may also help the body make new phosphocreatine faster when it has been used up by intense activity.

2026060 tn?1328918475 I'm 14 and pretty athletic, I run everyday for school Athletics and just recently started having these pains in my lower stomach to the right side. At first I thought it was PMS but I discovered it wasn't. When we're assigned to run we're not allowed to take a break, so It just hurts even more. Sometimes it hurts so bad I can't breath and often fall down. My coach tells me to just run it off, but that's defiantly not the cure.
Avatar m tn She is also complaining again about being tired all the time, and fatigue is present in her athletic performance. She plays both Club volleyball & basketball at a high level that also involves physical training in weights, etc. She does not appear to be gaining any of the benefits from this exercise & weight training. In basketball after just a couple minutes on the court her movement is literally as if she just got done running a marathon...
Avatar m tn I would not try anyones medicine with or without a performance. Performance is more about your self esteem and belief in your talents then any medicine you can put in your body. Capability and Self Esteem are also 2 different animals when dealing with anxiety. For instance, you know you are capable of playing many types of music, but low self esteem puts you at risk for not reaching your full potential because of how you perceive the rest of the worlds thinking about you.
Avatar f tn Running fast is better for performance, running far is better for endurance. Just do what you like, both are good exercise, but running fast gets the work done more quickly if time is a factor. For me, I always liked running when I was still able to run and had no desire to get it over with too quickly, but for performance training, sprinting will make you stronger and more athletic overall.

Avatar m tn This adaptation is in response to maximal loading of the cardiovascular and muscular systems and is accomplished by improving efficiency of the heart, increasing capillaries in the muscles, and increasing glycogen stores and mitochondrial enzyme systems within the muscle cells. During recovery periods these systems build to greater levels to compensate for the stress that you have applied. The result is that you are now at a higher level of performance.
Avatar m tn I am ready to go on accutane, but the thing is that I do submission wrestling. If the accutane permanently damaged my joints or hindered my athletic performance I would be devastated. My question is, how long should I take accutane and at what dose? Are there any things I can do to decrease the chance of permanent side effects, notably joint pain? I am not necessarily looking even to clear my skin perfectly, just to make it very manageable. Newer, safer treatments will appear soon.

Avatar f tn Determining your activity level is necessary to calculate the extra calories you need for athletic performance. Moderate activity levels include bike riding, dancing or fast walking. Heavy activity levels include fast running or playing basketball. Exceptional activity levels include exercising for several hours each day such as professional athletes in training, according to the University of Minnesota. If you have a moderate activity level, multiply your total daily calories by 0.
Avatar m tn As long as you are taking a beta blocker, you should forget about your former performance and live with what you can do today.

Avatar n tn Such a condition can likely result from the ingestion of an over the counter supplement called DHEA, or a similar "safer" one called 7-keto DHEA.

Also I have other unpleasant side effects. I am now 27 and had my thyroid ultrasound done recently.

Avatar n tn It’s important not to restrict calories too much as you seek to improve athletic performance that will lead to muscle gains because the practice can sabotage muscle-building efforts. It can also diminish metabolism and lead to fatigue or illness. Strength, or resistance, training will help you build muscle, which is metabolically active, meaning it will burn calories even when at rest.
Avatar f tn My mom recently posted a picture of a belly that says loading in progress in Facebook (not my belly). And one of my aunts desides to bash me with the whole family. She starts spreading the word saying that I look like a pig because I am huge. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and still have my abs haven't put on but a pound. I don't understand how someone can be so harsh, especially when my beautiful son is growing.
314554 tn?1337454119 (Female 46 yr) My podiatrist examined the Morton's Neuromas on both of my feet about year ago. He made my orthotics and I wear ShockDoctor orthotics in some of my other shoes. At one time, I had several knee and tibia "injuries" that were biomechanical in nature from overtraining on the stairmaster and the occasional use/misuse of sports performance & pain meds (no longer use).
Avatar m tn Bovine colostrum is possibly effective for infectious diarrhea but there is insufficient evidence for athletic performance, stimulating the immune system, healing injuries, burning fat, repairing nervous system damage or infections. It is best that you discuss the results of your IGF-1 first with your attending physician prior to taking any medication and to determine the underlying cause for proper management. Additional diagnostic tests may also be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Immediately after my performance I went to the athletic trainer who performed an assessment and asked what my symptoms were. Immediately I had a headache, I saw halos around lights, and I felt like I was in a dream state. I went to a concussion specialist who performed an impact test on me and diagnosed me with a concussion. A couple weeks later I got cleared but soon after I started experiencing severe sensitivity to light and my vision seemed to worsen.

Avatar f tn I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day.
