If you are serious about weight training, you have probably experienced the “plateau phenomenon.” You train harder, you consume extra protein in your diet, but you just don’t get the strength and power gains that you want. For the last ten years sports nutrition has focused on “what” to eat. The latest research from leading sports science labs now shows that “when” you eat may be even more important. Nutrient Timing adds the missing dimension to sports nutrition, the dimension o (more…)

Where can I find heavy duty energy supplements in Singapore other than GNC? Eg. energy gels or drink mix

With anabolic steroids having been around since the 1940′s and evident in Olympic athletes since the 60′s, how can we be totally sure who was “juiced” and who wasn’t. It’s been my contention that athletes have been taking “supplements” for much longer than most of society believes. I don’t think it started with Jose Canseco in the 80′s. There will never be a definite way to put a finger on exactly when it started. There’s no way of knowing if Hank used or not. With some of the names on the Mitchell report, nobody surprises me anymore. I just feel real disappointed. What kind of message have we left for our youth? Win at ALL costs? Just disappointed…(sigh)

I’ve decided that this (2009) December I’m going to start Skiing Pro (ski at the FIS/USSA levels) However, while investigating about doping, I found that Concerta (and Ritalin and other ADD meds) are prohibited, so I want to know *ROUGHLY* how long do I have to stop taking Concerta before being tested? Days? Months? Years? Oh, and also, I’m taking the dietary supplement ThermoGain by MuscleTech, and I want to know if it is illegal in skiing too? I already checked the USADA but they don’t have “Nutritional Supplements” in their database.
Please help!
P.S. I do Alpine Skiing

My question is in relation to obtaining a degree in sports science, sports nutrition or a course similar. I currently have a diploma in fitness instruction and an extended course in certified personal training. My leaving cert points were 425 and I am currently working full time in a gym and I might have the opportunity to manage soon.
Is there any courses that you know of that will provide a degree on a part time basis, or full time but quicker than the average due to my previous qualifications in a related field of practice?
