Ejercicios y frecuencia cardiaca.

 

Se denomina frecuencia cardiaca  (FC)  al número de veces por minuto  que late el corazón.

Cuando inicias una sesión de ejercicios físicos, ya sea para aumentar la capacidad cardiovascular o la capacidad aeróbica, es necesario que tengas presente el hecho de controlar la intensidad del ejercicio. Es decir controlar tu frecuencia cardiaca.  Para esto puedes medir las pulsaciones (FC), ya sea tomando los pulsos de tu muñeca o los pulsos de la arteria carótida del cuello o las pulsaciones de tu  pecho.

Se denomina FMC (FRECUENCIA CARDIACA MAXIMA) al máximo de pulsaciones que podemos alcanzar sin riesgo, el cual varía según la edad, independientemente de la raza o sexo, ya sea en niños o adultos.

Como medir la FCM?  Bueno, esta operación es muy fácil. Solamente tienes que restar la edad que tienes a 220, esto para hombres; y para las mujeres 226. La cifra que te resulta representa el número de veces que tu corazón debería latir por minuto a una frecuencia cardiaca de esfuerzo (FCE) se multiplica la cifra obtenida por 0.6 y luego por 0.85.

Para comenzar a quemar grasa se debe mantener esta frecuencia cardiaca de 30 a 45 minutos, al menos tres veces a la semana. La fórmula para establecer la FMC es:

*      Hombres : FMC= 220 -  edad.

*      Mujeres:   FMC=  226 – edad.

Ejemplo: Irene tiene 43 años (226-43=201). Si hace ejercicios  a su máxima capacidad, llegaría a las 183 pulsaciones por minuto, limite que no debe sobrepasar. Para mantenerse dentro de los límites de FCE, debe mantener su pulso entre los 110 y 156 latidos.

Veamos: 183 x 0.6= 109.8;       183 x 0.85=  155.55. Sencillo. Además de ser una forma divertida de hacer matemáticas.

CONTRA LA DIABETES: EL DESCANSO.



La Buena Vida no se puede basar en una continua actividad fisica y mental. Mantener un adecuado ritmo de actividad y reposo, de trabajo y recreacion, es imprescindible para la conservacion de una Buena salud.

                                                                                                             



La insulina liberada por el páncreas se

reduce en un 30% después de una

privación de sueño y descanso.



El descanso es importante si quiere evitar la diabetes, afirma el Dr. Spiegel de la Universidad de Chicago. En una investigación realizada, comprobó que cuando los hombres jóvenes dormían solamente cuatro horas absorbían un 40% menos de azúcar presente en su sangre. No sucedía lo mismo a quienes disfrutaron de seis noches de descanso apropiado.


La falta de sueño incrementa los niveles de las hormonas vinculadas al estrés, lo cual a su vez puede elevar la resistencia del cuerpo a la insulina, provocando  una mayor dificultad de transportar el azúcar que se encuentra en la sangre hacia los tejidos.


Además de liberar insulina cuando duermes, el descanso ayuda a mantener una memoria óptima.

Descansa en forma debida y obtendrás buenos resultados.

5 Ways To Improve Study Skills

As students gear up for state tests and finals, it’s time to start taking a look at how they study. Knowing how to study not only helps boost students’ performance on major exams, it also helps them go into the exam with confidence. Even students who already know how to study can stand to re-evaluate their study skills to make sure they’re maximizing their brain power. These strategies for improving study skills will not only help students learn how to study, they’ll also help make their study time more effective.

1. Start Early

Despite its popularity, cramming for an exam rarely works. Focusing on a lot of the same information at once may make students feel confident that they know it, but often it doesn’t stick. Instead of cramming for exams, students should start studying early and gradually review the information over time. This helps them learn and review a variety of information at once and in smaller amounts, making it easier for the information to stick. It also removes some of the stress because they don’t have to spend the night before a test studying instead of getting a good night’s sleep.

2. Find Your Optimal Study Environment

Sometimes students know the basics of studying, but they don’t do it in the best environment. They may think they can study with the TV on and radio blaring or while sitting in the library with their friends, but that’s not always the case. Students should conduct an honest and thorough evaluation of their study environment to see whether it’s really working for them. One way to do this is to read a paragraph in the normal study environment, test what they remember, and then switch to a quieter environment, read another paragraph and see if they remember more or less.
A few questions to ask when finding the optimal study environment include:
  • What do I hear around me? Does it distract me from what I’m reading/doing?
  • What do I smell around me? Does it make me feel positive or negative?
  • How is the lighting? Is it too dark? Too bright?
  • Am I comfortable? Too comfortable?
  • Do I have all the resources I need around me?
  • What objects/sounds/smells/etc. take me away from my studying in this environment?
Answering these questions will help students determine whether their study environment is working and what they need to add or remove to create the optimal study environment.

3. Learn How to Study

Of  course students can study all the time in the optimal study environment, but it doesn’t do any good if they don’t know how to study. Studying involves more than re-reading highlighted notes or flipping through a stack of flashcards. HowtoStudy.com offers a guide to help students learn how to study. The guide covers aspects of studying such as creating a study plan, taking effective notes, managing stress, and learning how to effectively study and brush up on your skills before a test. While the guide has been designed for college students, many of its principles also work well for students in middle school and high school. Too often students get to college without knowing how to study, so it’s good to teach them how to study while the stakes are lower and they have their parents and teachers around to support them.

4. Think Positive

When students have trouble with a subject and develop a negative attitude, no amount of studying will work. Instead, the negativity will overpower most of the learning that takes place. The goal of studying is to help students learn to master difficult concepts and become more confident in the material and they must approach studying with that mindset.
Parents and teachers can help encourage students to think positive by encouraging them with phrases such as “I know you can get this” or “you’re almost there.” Adding motivational quotes, posters, or other positive pictures and phrases to the study environment can also help students subconsciously think more positively about themselves and their abilities. When studying, students also shouldn’t start with the most difficult material they need to learn. Instead, they should start with easier material so they experience success early on and, therefore, are more motivated to keep going.

5. Use Study Skills Worksheets and Organizers

Study skills worksheets and organizers, like those found as part of Help Teaching’s free printables collection can help students learn the key words, vocabularies, and strategies needed to become better at studying. These worksheets will also help students by helping them with concepts such as creating a study calendar, learning what foods to eat while studying, and even just getting a handle on the vocabulary related to studying.
Focusing on the details involved with studying before actually looking at the material can help students vastly improve their study skills and, therefore, improve their performance on major exams.

The Year Ahead - Beam Yourself Across The World




The growth in video communication has been exponential. Skype now boasts 300 million users, and a 2012 Ipsos/Reuters poll revealed one in five people worldwide now frequently “telecommuted” to work. But Star Trek fans will be happy to hear that incoming technology will add a further dimension to international conference calls. Known as holographic telepresence, it involves transmitting a three-dimensional moving image of you at each destination – allowing you to converse as if you were in the room. One system from Musion, based in Britain, uses Pepper’s Ghost, an effect popular with illusionists, to beam moving images onto sloped glass. Musion has already digitally resurrected rapper Tupac Shakur at a music festival. But full 3D holographic communication is not far behind – in the shape of the Polish company Leia. Named after the Star Wars princess, its Leia Display XL uses laser projectors to beam images onto a cloud of water vapour. The result is a walk-in holographic room, in which 3D objects can be viewed and manipulated from every angle. An IBM survey of 3,000 researchers recently named holographic video calls as one technology they expected to see in place in the next year or so.
