The coffee, the tea and the cola drinks are completely integrated in our daily life. The coffee is habitual in the breakfasts to overcome the morning dream, as well as in most of the later gatherings to the food. Two of the world biggest multinationals are producers of cola drinks, and the tea in all their forms (white, green, red), has more and more acceptance.
The characteristic common of all these drinks is its power activator and the substance that it gives them its exciting character is the caffeine.
The caffeine is a natural product that is present in many foods, not only in these drinks, but it will be the proportion of caffeine what will mark its stimulating capacity.
A cup of coffee can contribute between 60 and 110 mgs of caffeine. The tea has a much softer contribution, depending on the type that is, being able to be around the 10-90 mgs.
The cola drinks contain about 35 mgs.
The chocolate in cup can contain between 5 and 40 mg, and in bar of 50 grs it can contribute us between 10 and 60 mgs of caffeine.
We can also find in the pharmacies supplements of caffeine that can contain between 30 and 200 mgs of caffeine according to the types.
Today, the caffeine is considered a doped substance , but only in big quantities. To consume 800 mgs of caffeine in 2 or 3 hours, it overcomes the legal limit. This is the equivalent one to 5 or 6 strong coffees or 4 pills of 200 mgs).
Previously it was prohibited for the first time before The Olimpic Games of 1972 to consider it like a drug, but it was retirement of the list because it wasted away in the habitual (coffee, cola drinks, etc) drinks.
In The Olimpic Games of 1984 it was prohibited to consider again that it improved the yield artificially, but it is only time if it is taken in big quantities, like it has been mentioned before.
To detect the caffeine in dope tests, the controls are used of urine. And it is that the caffeine is eliminated by means of the urine, although fundamentally we come off of it for the perspiration.
Later on, we will speak of like it influences the caffeine in the physical exercise.
We will continue …

Do you want to put on approval your resistance? The following movement can look like each other very simple and not very sophisticated, but if you prove it you will realize in few repetitions that you are fighting with an enemy of importance.
Neither material, neither space! It has the advantage that doesn’t require more material than a floor of trust (not very hard) and the necessary space to lie down completely extended.
Make sure a good ventilation! If you make it at home , triy to open the windows so that among the enough oxygen and to evacuate the concentration of heat and perspiration because the room can transform into a boiler in very little time, for that reason we recommend you that you practice it in open (a park for example) spaces.
It is a great resistance work! With this exercise your body has to pass from the inferior (level with floor) space to the superior and this supposes a great work to the heart that only being still already mark 14 pulsations of difference among both positions.
This effort multiplies because it is necessary to mobilize the musculature of all the parts of the body and in a very dynamic way to connect the movements what forces to the heart to work in a very demanding way.
Ok, very well, and what is the exercise? The movement begins with your body knocked facing up with the arms aligned next to the body or above the head. From this position we elevate the trunk towards before and we bend the legs to try to put on in squatting for what we can help ourselves with the hands, and from there we stand up.
Next week we will count you something more about this movement.

The interval method or interval. training was a method developed in the years 40 and 50 in Germany, and that the Czech corridor Emil Zatopek popularized.
This corridor highlights for great level of force and resistance, and it was known as the human locomotive.
In the olympic games of 1948 he won the test of 10.000 meters and he got the silver in the 5000 meters.
But it was in the games of Helsinki in 1952 where he transformed into the king of the bottom winning the 5.000 meters, the 10.000 meters and the marathon, unique fact in the history of the olympic games.
This historical corridor based his preparation on the training for intervals, ending up running in a session 30 km distributed in series of 400 meters, with a recovery of 200 meters (about 60 seconds). This preparation formula has made him pass to the history.
The theory of the training has gone evolving with the improvement of the marks and results in the competitions. For that reason t,he method of intervals squatter a place in the programs of training, but without being used exclusively.
The interval method is a form of fractional work that alternates periods of work with others of rest, to be able to maintain a high intensity of work during more time than if we made it in a continuous way.
This takes advantage in the training to improve cardiovascular and energy aspects and to adapt the sportsman to the competition conditions.
For that reason it is used fundamentally in the training of the resistance in tests of high intensity.
It will continue…
