Stamina & Obesity With Prime Health System

Stamina and obesity can be closely linked in men. Excess body fat places additional strain on the body’s systems, making physical activity more challenging and requiring more energy to perform. Additionally, carrying excess weight can reduce lung capacity and make it harder to breathe during physical activity, further reducing stamina.

However, losing weight through diet and exercise can improve stamina and overall health. Don’t wait to take control of your health. Contact us today to schedule your blood test and medical assessment. With personalized care, our team of expert healthcare professionals will help you understand your body and identify any areas for improvement. Start your journey towards a healthier, happier you.

Visit Prime Health System next time you come to the club or give them a call at 877-201-3499 or visit www.primehealthsystem.org to see how their services could benefit you.

Landing Mechanic Tips from Rush Physical Therapy

Rush Therapy Logo

Oftentimes, in sports, it is unpredictable how you will land when coming down from a leap in the air (i.e. doing a layup in basketball, making a catch over the fence in softball/baseball, etc). It is still a great idea to practice landing mechanics via performing eccentric squats off of a box (starting on a box and jumping down into a squat position).

Two things to keep in mind:
1) it is always better to land with your feet wider than your shoulders to prevent injury as the force is greater traveling up your legs if your feet are too narrow
2) try your best to land quietly to try and absorb as much impact as possible
