What risks from fitness are there to people with myopia? -1. In normal myopia, the retina is not thinned. It is only in pathological myopia that the retina can become thinned. |

Optimum amount of aerobic exercise to induce Angiogenesis for bodybuilding purposes? That's because it's like anything else, it's highly dependent on each individual's response to exercise. |

What is the best way to improve speed with the Total Immersion stroke? My personal opinion is that TI does not teach a fast stroke. However, that being said, the function of speed in the water is a combination of good technique, and a lot of time going very very fast with long rest breaks (intervals), and somewhat fast on short rest (threshold work). |

Optimum amount of aerobic exercise to induce Angiogenesis for bodybuilding purposes? Your muscles adapt to the stresses placed on them. There is no guarantee that angiogenesis would create vessels where they would be visible. They will grow where needed to meet the demands of your activity. I don't know the level needed, as that would be individually variable, but I do suspect it would be of a level where it would take time away from your lifting. |

What is the least I need to run to maintain my conditioning? You get more benefit out of shorter, more frequent runs. But, as you say, you've been running that for 20 years, carry on. |

When I bench press, why do my hips sometimes cramp up? @Kate - FWIW, I get the same thing in my arches (cramping under load) when I return to swimming after a layoff. Increased fitness and stretching the flexors and extensors for the foot usually alleviates it. |

When I bench press, why do my hips sometimes cramp up? @GetFitChimp - The last line of your recommendation is "Have you tried placing your feet on the bench (with bent-knees)?" I downvoted your answer for an unsafe recommendation, and provided research to show why it's not recommended. If you wish, I can also find statistics on accident rates/improper benching, but that would be spoon feeding. And here is one (of many many) study on ITB flexibility - books.google.com/… |

When I bench press, why do my hips sometimes cramp up? @GetFitChimp - Also, your assertion that it will take "years" to get ITB flexibility going is just flat wrong. |

When I bench press, why do my hips sometimes cramp up? @GetFitChimp - researchgate.net/publication/… or journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/2008/09000/… or gsareach.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/JSCR-07-Bench.pdf All of these suggest that there is more neuromuscular activity as stabilizes are activated, but that the actual performance of the bench press itself drops anywhere from 6-50% depending on the type of instability. |

When I bench press, why do my hips sometimes cramp up? -1 for recommending an unsafe alternative (feet on bench). It is less stable, not recommended and does not address the problem (usually flexibility), it just avoids it. |

How can Kinesio tape provide support for tendonitis They support the skin which supports the sheath. I am not a fan of kinesio tape, but there are others that really love it. Studies are mixed on results. One thing that I think they help with is the proprioceptive feedback (Awareness of where a limb is positioned in relation to the body without having to look at it). The tape will pull/stretch when you get towards the outer limits of where your motion should be, so it's an extra signal to the brain to not extend/flex/move as much in a certain direction. This is just my own theory, though. |
