The Importance of Cool-Downs

Cooling down after your workout lets your heart rate and blood pressure slowly recover to pre-exercise levels. It helps your body effective recover from exercise. The by- products in muscles from exercise create delayed onset muscle soreness, fatigue, and even potentially overuse injuries.

How to Manage an Immediate Injury

What is done in the first 24-48 hours following an athletic injury is very important and can often reduce the time of recovery by weeks. As always, if you have a significant injury you should seek medical attention immediately, but if you have a sprain or strain, the acronym P.O.L.I.C.E. can be used to help guide you in managing the immediate injury to encourage speedy recovery.

Concussions

Have you or someone you know suffered a concussion? Rather than providing a comprehensive resource on Concussions here, we have chosen to provide links to two excellent Canadian Websites who are funded to stay current on latest research developments and have full time staff to educate people on recognizing , diagnosing, and managing concussions.

Drug and Doping Testing in Sport

With the Beijing Olympics almost complete, the focus of media and athletes/coaches to Drug testing has been heightened. There is one place to get information for all of this is Canada, and that is the Canadian Center for Ethics in Sport. Their website is https://cces.ca/. There is also a downloadable App.
