Miguel Lamperti core-strength training During the last Premier Padel Milano, we had the opportunity to get in touch with many padel champions. 🏆 One of them is Miguel Lamperti, alias Miguelito, a true padel legend. At the age of 45, he is still competitive, in fact he is the 26th player in the world ranking. 🔝 He has always been known as one of the most charismatic players on the padel circuit. In fact, his second pseudonym is 'Charisma Lamperti'. His main characteristic is his obsessive attention to detail, an attitude common to all great athletes. 👆 Such a special kind of athlete is a unique combination of qualities, but he certainly spends a lot of time maintaining his skills at the highest level. In this video you can see Miguel engaged in a core (and not only core) exercise on our Reax Board. Reax Board is the unmistakable training tool dedicated to developing the most underrated skills in an athlete: balance, posture and core are usually considered training frills. On the contrary, they are fundamental to becoming a top athlete. In fact, the scientific literature tells us that it is important to involve all of our abilities to become more efficient and effective in sport as well as in everyday life. 👍 Avoiding to involve all 'resources' synergistically (as nature intended) produces unconscious and unperceived imbalances that result in loss of effectiveness and efficiency. The Reax Board offers the unique opportunity to engage the entire somato-sensory system by practising exercises on it. 🧠 Each exercise on the Reax Board becomes a new challenge for the body, and the vestibular system plays a key role. But practicing on the Reax Board means becoming more suitable to managing the body during play, more resistant to the many rolls required and more aware of the playing field. 🥇 #reaxing #traintoreact #traintheunpredictable #reaxingacademy #reaxboard #premierpadel #miguellamperti #padel #padelchampions #milanopremierpadel

“Courir c’est bête comme chou” (running is as dumb as pie) read a funny cardboard displayed by the side supporters encouraging the runners on the #Marathon_pour_Tous route last Saturday night. What was then that special about this (another) marathon event? Open to 20 024 casual runners (drawn at random after pre-selection on weekly jogging challenges during the last 2 years), it followed exactly the route run in the same morning by the Olympic Games athletes. 17 428 of us made it to the finish line, women and men coming from 127 countries, as young as 20 and as old as 85, encouraged by thousands of by-standers and with plenty of music and light shows along the history-rich roads and streets of Paris, Versailles and the villages in between. The + 438m level difference on the 42.195km made it arguably world’s most difficult official marathon - so no speed records. But in the exceptional Paris Olympics environment, who cared about that KPI? What reflections/ learnings from this extraordinary ordinary race? •“It’s never too late” (for anything) is arguably a delusion but believing too early that is too late is definitely a mistake •Preparation in any endeavour doesn’t replace chance but maximise the odds of achieving •Impression of being a small part of a great thing brings joy into work/ efforts •Although some say that for success we just need to be better than the others, probably the real betterment is to overpass ourselves. •This “olympic spirit” in competing beyond sport - in business or any of our human activities - relying on understanding, on cooperation and vying within rules, with fairness and respect for the opponents, can make the world better and more beautiful for all. #competition, #diversity, #olympic_spirit

In the midst of an international marathon, Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez showcased an extraordinary act of sportsmanship that would resonate around the world. Known for his integrity and dedication to fair play, Ivan found himself in a unique and defining moment during the race. As the runners approached the final stretch, Kenyan athlete Abel Mutai, who was leading the race, misinterpreted a sign and stopped a few meters short of the finish line, thinking he had completed the race. Ivan, trailing close behind, quickly realized what had happened. In that moment, Ivan faced a choice: capitalize on Abel’s mistake to secure his own victory, or help his fellow competitor. Without hesitation, Ivan approached Abel and motioned for him to continue running. Abel, initially confused, quickly understood and resumed the race, crossing the finish line first. Ivan followed closely behind, satisfied not with a win, but with the knowledge that he had upheld the true spirit of sportsmanship. The crowd erupted in applause, not just for Abel’s victory, but for Ivan’s profound display of integrity. Ivan’s actions demonstrated that the essence of competition lies in respect, fairness, and kindness, rather than merely winning. Post race asked during interview Ivan said “I believe sportsmanship and integrity are more important than winning. A victory gained through someone else’s mistake isn’t a true victory. Helping Abel was the right thing to do. I hope people see that the spirit of competition is about more than just winning. It’s about respect, fairness, and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” True victory is not just about crossing the finish line first, but about upholding integrity, respect, and sportsmanship. In life, as in sports, the greatest triumphs come from doing what is right, even when it means forgoing personal gain. Ivan Fernandez’s actions remind us that helping others and maintaining ethical standards are more valuable than any trophy or title.

🔔 Welcome you to read one of our papers published "How to Form a Successful #Team for the Novel #Olympic #Triathlon Discipline: The Mixed-Team-Relay" by Prof. Maria Francesca Piacentini et al. 🔗 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫: https://brnw.ch/21wMkLw 🎓 This study aimed to provide practical suggestions for forming a successful MTR based on the results of the lasts World #Championships. In particular, we evaluated the role of each leg and portion (disciplines and transitions) on the overall MTR and on the single-leg (super-sprint), hypothesizing a higher importance of #cycling, followed by #running and #swimming. #MDPI #openaccess #publishing #sport #sportscience #openscience

On Saturday morning at 8am the Spine race(s) started. Now, this event - featuring 6 x races covering from 46 miles to 268 - is billed as ‘Britains Most Brital.’ Millions of people tune in online and become ‘dot watchers’. I am pretty obsessed with all things trail running and this race really gets me fired up for the days ahead (the big dance - 268 mile race - finishes on Saturday). I was so excited about it all startint that I created a reel on Instagram explaining all about the races, who the elite and amateur athletes were and key interesting elements about the course, the checkpoints, personalities etc. Little did I know that it would become one of my most viewed reels with people loving the insider info and passion that I have for this sport, this unique sector of the sport in particular. And it got me thinking about event commentators, MCs, experts. The people who, in this sporting space, bring information to the public pre, during and post race to the masses. Especially to those people interested in this sport who have never trail run, or run. When did I last see or hear a woman of colour, an expert - an athlete - commentate on ultra runnjng, on trail running. I can’t remember… have I? I however do know that, when we talk about the importance of representation in this sport one thing I always say is ‘we need to see it at all levels’. From volunteer to athlete, from race director to sports presenter. ALL levels. Hosting events whether in person or online and proving expert commentary is something that I have so much passion for. That connection with the audience and creating that balance between what they want to know and what I (we) want to tell them is key. Looking forward to hearing about opportunities to do much more of it in 2024. https://lnkd.in/eTQcTQpW #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning #event #presenter

Currently sat on the stationary trainer 🚴 watching the Armagh International 5K. Apart from it’s not, is it? The men’s race is 5K, whilst the women’s is a 3K (a quick look at previous results suggests it’s always been this way). Yesterday was International Women in Sport day & I can’t help but think it leaves a bitter taste for the women’s international race to be almost half the distance of the men’s international race. For context, Armagh5k is one of the world’s most revered running road races, with some of Europe’s best runners descending on this small Northern Irish town every February. Credit where credit is due to the organisers for keeping this event running during trying times & also running a livestream. I appreciate that the reality of running events is far more difficult than it appears on paper. 👏 Perhaps there is good reason for the women’s event being 3K (selection criteria for a championship event, perhaps?), in which case I apologise for calling this out; but I can’t see one personally. It’d be great to see the women’s race be run over the billed 5K in 2025. Why not make it the main event on alternate years by running the men’s race first next year, too? 👀 Be interesting to hear my network’s thoughts on this!👇 #equality #womeninsport #armagh5k #athletics
