Petikan dari brosur:

The higher you go through the atmosphere, the thinner the air becomes. Thinner air means less air resistance, so athletes who sprint, jump, or cycle will perform better at high-altitude venues. But thinner air also means less oxygen, so the pace of hard endurance training and competition- which depends on high rates of oxygen consumption-gets slower at such altitude.

If you live at high altitude for several weeks, your body adapts to the shortage of oxygen. The most important adaptation for the endurance athlete is an increase in the number of red blood cells, which are produced in response to greater release of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) by the kidneys. Red cells carry oxygen from your lungs to your muscles. More red cells means your blood can carry more oxygen in the air. So to compete in an endurance event at high altitude, you should adapt to the said altitude for several weeks before the event.

But what about when you come back to sea level? Will the extra blood cells supercharge your muscles with oxygen and push you along faster than ever? That’s what should happen, but there are problems. When you first move to high altitude, and you may also suffer from altitude sickness (AMS). If you don;t adapt well to altitude, you may over train or loose muscle mass. Even if you do adapt well, you still can’t train with the same intensity as at sea level. The result? You detrain. When you come back down to sea level, you may do better or worse than before, depending on the balance between adaptations and detraining.

Memecahkan Tembok Besar China?

Pasukan badmintonPiala thomas Malaysia telah melangkah masuk ke Separuh akhir selepas menewaskan Jepun 3-0 di Istora Senayan Jakarta. Dalam peringkat separuh akhir akan bertemu dengan pilihan no 1 China. Korea telah awal-awal lagi memasang strategi untuk mengelak dari bertemu China di peringkat ini dengan sengaja tewas kepada negara kita di peringkat awal. Dalam dunia sukan ia merupakan satu pangkah yang dianggap tidak bersemangat kesukanan (unsportsmanship conduct). Korea sepatutnya bertanding secara gentleman. If you are strong you are strong.

Namun Malaysia tidak sepatutnya mempersalahkan strategi orang lain kerana kita juga mampu mengatur strategi. Tetapi Malaysia memilih untuk bertanding secara gentleman. Jika pun kita tewas kepada pasukan yang lebih handal dan kuat, pasukan harus dipuji sekiranya bermain dengan cemerlang. Dalam sukan semestinya ada kalah dan ada yang akan menang. Ini kerana ukuran pencapaian boleh dibuat dari dua aspek secara saintifiknya. Performance Goal dan Outcome Goal. Jika pasukan Malaysia tidak berjaya menepati Outcome Goal maka mereka harus capai Performance Goal. Walaupun peminat sukan tidak menerima performance goal sebagai satu bentuk kemenangan tetapi bagi ahli sukan ia hendaklah dijadikan sebagai satu kepuasan.

Sudah lama negara kita mengidam untuk membawa balik piala paling berprestij dalam dunia badminton ini dan persoalan sekarang ialah mampukah barisan negara memecahkan tembok besar China?
