Fitness health can be fun at Huckstep Heart & Lung Center
Posted: at 5:19 pm
FARMINGTON Getting back to good health after a heart attack or surgery is hard work. Just ask any of the patients who show up three days a week at the Huckstep Heart & Lung Center, for rehab therapy. The therapists at Huckstep Heart & Lung Center, located at Parkland Health Center in Farmington, like to show their patients how fun fitness can be.
They recently celebrated their progress with a Cardinals Day. Patients wore their St. Louis Cardinals t-shirts, jerseys and hats, and enjoyed healthier options to stadium food. Turkey franks and baked chips were served for lunch, along with healthier snacks, including peanuts, while the St. Louis Cardinals faced the New York Mets for a day game in New York.
The patients really enjoyed rooting on the Cardinals that day, while they exercised, said Kathy David, RN, BSN. We had the game on for the patients to watch while they worked, and with all of our patients cheering them on, we like to think its not a coincidence that the Cardinals won the game, Kathy quipped. Before and after the game, patients worked out to baseball music.
Its difficult to say who enjoys the themed days at the Huckstep center more the patients or the staff.
The Huckstep Heart and Lung Center, part of Parkland Health Center offers medically supervised programs for people with heart disease or breathing disorders that help keep them from losing function and remain in control of their lives. The staff is specially trained and is highly credited in their fields.
The Center was opened in 1994, in memory of Dr. Robert Huckstep. Dr. Huckstep envisioned a center in which heart patients could receive assistance in returning to a normal and active life. Later the vision was expanded to include respiratory therapy services. The Center provides cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services to approximately 250 patients each year.
Parkland Health Center is part of BJC HealthCare which also includes St. Louis Childrens Hospital and Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the teaching hospitals for Washington University School of Medicine. For additional information about Parkland Health Center, please call (573) 756-6451 or the physician finder service at (573) 431-3338 or visit http://www.parklandhealthcenter.org.

Dave Tenney talks about Sounders FC's "Sports Science and Mentorship Weekend"
Posted: at 5:12 am
Top fitness coaches from around the world have come to town for the second annual Sounders FC's "Sports Science and Mentorship Weekend."
Fitness coach Dave Tenney will be the man in change of the three-day event and has brought in a number of highly qualified featured speakers: Steve Tashjian (Everton FC fitness coach), Nick Winkelman (head of education and methodology for Athletes Performance), Jan Willem Teunissen (head fitness/strength/conditioning coach for the Ajax Amsterdam youth academy) and others.
The goal, according the details posted on SoundersFC.com, are to "share the latest methodologies in soccer training, human performance, and recovery." Tenney spoke with a few of us about the event a couple days ago:
* * *
(Can you tell us a little bit about what's going on this weekend?) "We call it the 'Sports Science and Mentorship Weekend.' Last year, we had 35 coaches. This year, we'll have 50 coaches attending; we have eight presenters. I think in terms of sports science in this country there's no real driving force and there's a big disconnect in the soccer world between what happens with sports science and strength conditioning and all that, and the soccer side and soccer coaches. This is the only real event that I know of in the U.S. where you have college strength conditioning coaches together with college head coaches, where they can really talk about sports science and fitness and training and fatigue and all those things that we kind of overlook in the country."
(What was the motivation to get this started?) "Every year, as you guys know, I always go in the offseason and visit England or Holland, and my idea first was, 'OK, that's great, but I can only go and see so much.' So if I have this type of weekend, then I can bring these coaches to me, and then we can benefit by educating other coaches. ... I was just up in the gym talking with a guy who's been a fitness coach in Champions League in Belgium along with the best strength conditioning coach in college in the U.S., and we're all just talking about methodology and the Sounders' training complex. Bringing that type of soccer fitness IQ here I think benefits us and it also fills the need of education for coaches in the country."
(Do you feel the Sounders are on the leading edge of sports science?) "I hope so. That's the goal and we hope these types of things benefit us and kind of keep us ahead. So my goal, personally, is how can we use technology to keep us ahead of what everyone else is doing? There are more teams that are investing more time and money in that, but I think with things like this it keeps us kind of ahead."
(Do you feel there's still a lot of skepticism from coaches or players regarding sports science?) "Yeah and my personal talk on the weekend is about that, too. It's about how you have that disconnect. You have the sports scientists and you have coaches. And at the end of the day the coaches have a feel for things, which is very valid. Sports scientists are looking at data. Now we want the head coaches to make better, more informed decisions, but that only happens in the sports scientists know the right questions to ask. I feel like in the past, sports scientists haven't really connected with the game; they haven't always asked the right questions of the data to give the feedback to the coaches. So there's this disconnect and the coaches didn't really believe (the data), but I think at the end of the day sports science is a very new thing. Even what we're doing in soccer, they're still not doing on a daily basis in the NBA, or the NHL or especially the NFL. So it's still in its infancy here and as we can give the coaches better answers to better questions, then they'll be more receptive of it."
(How's the technology different now than when you first started with the Sounders?) "We're always trying to quantify the load on the players every day. We're using GPS now, as well, so GPS this year for the first time gives us a better mechanical load. So as we use better technology, every year I think we kind of refine the process of measuring the load on the players a little bit better."
(You ever talk to old-school guys like Alan Hinton about this stuff?) "You're always going to have that kind of give-and-take and dialogue. The traditional coaches claim you can do everything on feel and intuition. And there's always intuition and data. What we want to do, which maybe sometimes Alan isn't used to that whole thing, is we want to use data to help inform them on their intuitions, and that's it. What I always say is intuition is probably right about 80 percent of the time, because you can have a feel for things, but there are some things that go on in athletes' bodies that you just can't see. And players are really good at hiding things, too. Now if you have that data to fill in the 20 percent that coaches just can't see and can't feel, then we make better decisions long term."

Posted: at 3:20 am
Medford is looking to combat a growing problem and the Chamber of Commerce is leading the pack with the citys first ever Health and Fitness Expo.
Obesity is a huge problem thats not just citywide, said Andrea McGrath, chairwoman of the committee organizing the expo. Its worldwide. There are a lot of businesses in the city that are in that industry, and the chambers job is to work for the community through the businesses that are in the chamber.
The Sunday expo, which is free and open to the public, will feature at least 30 different vendors and a host of activities for guests to take part in throughout the day, including Pilates, yoga, Zumba and various dancing and fitness classes.
In all the time that Ive been here, its been the best received idea by everybody, said Medford Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jodie Coyne of the event.
Medford High School varsity coaches will also donate their services for the expo, holding sports clinics throughout the day on golf, baseball and crew.
For younger kids, the New England Patriots mascot, Pat Patriot, will be on hand from 12 to 2 p.m. to take pictures.
The goals are to create the excitement for our businesses in the area, for our restaurants to serve healthy food and to see this become an annual event where we eventually take over more space, have more vendors and maybe vendors from more towns will join in, said Medford Chamber of Commerce President Charlotte Scuderi.
Scuderi said the chamber is also joining forces with local restaurants like Carrolls and Salvatores in Medford Square to offer new, healthy menu options.
The most exciting thing is were kicking off the Weight Loss Challenge, which is open to any Medford resident, said Neil Anderson, of Fitness Together, who will also be at the expo offering classes on small group training
One of the first people to sign up for this years Weight Loss Challenge is Fitness Together Medford owner Peter Petrella, who is also a member of Medfords Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.
