Mircea,

arati minunat in apa!

Si eu am participat la Masters aici pina acum 8 ani.Am inotat pentru un club din München, mi-a facut mare placere, erau multi fosti sportivi si iubitori de apa, nu conta ca esti mai batrin sau nu, sau ce au facut sau realizat altii ca sportivi.

Am avut un timp minunat, mergeam si la stafete,chiar mixte,de ex 4x50 mixt la virsta de 180 de ani ( 2 barbati si 2 femei). Se aduna virsta celor 4 participanti si in apa cu noi.

In 2000 au fost Campionatele mondiale de Masters in München unde am participat si eu. Am cistigat la 50 Bras la grupa mea de virsta, iar cu stafeta am devenit inca o data campioni mondiali( ce nu am reusit la tinerete, reusesc la batrinete!!!).

Un an mai tirziu in 2001 au fost campionatele europene de Masters in Palma de Mallorca,si acolo am ocupat locul 3 la 200 mixt, si cu stafeta am cistigat din nou.

Dar rezultatele nu erau prea importante, frumos a fost timpul petrecut impreuna, toti eram bine dispusi, a fost un timp minunat. De antrenat nu conta prea mult, bucuria de a mai simti inca o data sa fi pe blogstart si sa ai in fata un bazin unde sa te intreci… superb.

In rest, si eu dau cursuri de inot pentru adulti, si este foarte interesant, asa cum vezi si tu pe pielea ta, dar o fac pe linga meseria principala cu care in momentul de fata imi cistig piinea!

Am sa trimit diferite poze, dar nu astazi.

O zi placuta si plina de zimbete, nu te mai amari de nimicurile din viata!

Cu drag Irinel

esti asa cum mi-am inchipuit..... bunatatea intruchipata, bravo
ma bucur de reusitele tale, ami ales cele legate de familie .... si cred ca ai o munca pe cinste; este mare lucru ca ceea ce faci tu, tu sa 'dai' socoata... sa nu depinzi de altii;

eu, la batraneturi, m-am specializat pe invatarea inotului de adultii temaciosi si fricosi... si ma amuza fantastic momentul and 'el' realizeaza ca a fost asa de fraier si nu a inteles ce simplu e.... / am avut o cucoana care dupa ce a platit tot ce era de platit, cand sa intre in apa a zis' eu nu intru...' iar dupa a 3-lectie inota; cu adulti e mai usor daca abordezi prestatia constienta fata de cea instinctuala a copiilor

in rest totul este ok
mai sunt inca sanatos
mai ma dau grozav ca-s mare antrenor..., dar cand vad aberatiile din ziua de azi...., auzi ce-au hotarat desteptii;... pt ca au constat ca nu prea le merg fondistii... acum, vrei nu vrei, nu poti concura decat daca: la antrenamente treci norma de 2 Km.... si la concurs de inoti orice procedeu, musai sa ai si proba de 400m....; le-am scris parerea mea pe blog.. dar degeaba - nu citeste nimeni, s-au saturat de dadaceali

ai si tu ceva fotografii ?
ai si tu chef vreodata sa te lauzi cu viata ta sportiva
tare te-as incondeia pe blogul meu....
experienta buna a ns. se va pierde si e pacat

hai pa

cu iubire

m.o./ am inotat acum 2 sapt. la masters... le-am adus cadouri sa dea ... si premii(cca. 30 de casti noi....), carti.... dar m-am trezit tratat ca neica nimeni si au dreptate cine-s eu langa 'ei'sau altii; asa ca m-am lasat de a mai fi masters, la 74 de ani - ajunge.

Buna Mircea,

ma bucur sa te revad chiar si numai in poza, cine stie, lumea este mica....

Eu sint bine ,am 2 fete care intre timp au facut 21 si respectiv,18 ani.Pe cea mare o cheama Catinca ,iar cea mica Karla.

Eu locuiesc in orasul Mühldorf, cam o ora departare de München si 10 min departare. de Cristina Soptirean, care si ea la rindul ei a devenit bunica.

Dana fata cea mare a Cristinei, are o scumpete de baietel (3 ani),iar Cristina este o bunica model.

Eu ,de 8 ani de zile,am un nou barbat linga mine, il cheama Dirk si este o persoana deosebita, care ma iubeste si ma respecta cum putini oameni au facut-o pina sa il intilnesc pe el.

Aici ma ocup de recuperarea oamenilor care au suferit accidente de diferite cauze( cerebrale, de masina, etc) si incerc in special prin terapie in apa sa ii reabilitez.

Ca antrenor de inot am activat aproape 20 de ani, acum m-am retras si mai dau cursuri de inot pentru adulti in special.

In rest, viata merge mai departe,si ma bucur sa revad pe Facebook,prietenii de demult.

Cu drag si multe salutari

Celor care ma mai au in amintire

Irinel

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

The key benchmark test for any sports training program:

What does it cost?

(Answer: $1.97!)


Dear colleague,
There are four vital benchmark tests for any sports training program:
  1. What does it cost?
  2. What do you get?
  3. Who’s giving the advice?
  4. What does the training involve?

You'll have direct access to special interest groups, our question and answer section, blogs, articles and videos: the latest sports science research transformed into practical, effective take-home advice.
Every item has been thoroughly tested on the track, field or gym. Join us today. You’ll need nothing else:
  • Video clips illustrating exercises and drills for all sports
  • Video library of over 250 gym based exercises
  • Videos of the exercise of the month
  • Video interviews with top athletes and coaches
  • Video clips of new training routines/methods that you might not have used before – for example: kettle bell training
  • Video clips that link up with the content in the Peak Performance newsletter, illustrating how an exercise is properly performed
  • Video clips of how to prepare nutritionally balanced meals and drinks
  • Videos library of exercises for injury avoidance / treatment

Test 3: Who’s giving the advice?

‘Who’s giving the advice?’ is the third test and it especially important for sports and athletics training because of the drawbacks and dangers that appear if you happen to use the wrong adviser. Here are the questions we ask:
How effective are the coach’s training methods? How efficient? What is the time / effort / effect ratio? Exactly what are his students achieving for the time they spend training? What happens when they compete? At what level are they competing and how often are they winning?
These are the standards we use to judge a trainer. These are the questions we ask at Peak Performance before inviting a coach to join us to demonstrate his methods to our website members.
Our online video clips, newsletters and graphic illustrations are presented by trainers such as John Shepherd (our head coach), Phil Gardiner and John Monro. They operate at International level and are recognised as top personal trainers.
Heading your advisory team is John Shepherd, the coach who organises, oversees and collates the Peak Performance Online sports training channel. John is a former international long jumper and a recognised fitness trainer and sports coach. He was a member of the Great Britain and England athletic teams and competes today at International Masters' level. He has an MA in specialist health and has managed a sport and leisure centre for more than 10 years.
John trains athletes for Internationals (junior through to senior). He advises coaches and athletes on their conditioning. He was ranked in the top 5 in the UK at long jump for 6 years and had 15 internationals. He was 4th in the World Masters champs (45-49) last year and is the winner of numerous British, European and World Medals as a master and rowed in the World Indoor Rowing Championships.

Your international training team and their qualifications

If you have ever talked to a specialist about something specific you’ll know they often refer you to someone more qualified in that field. That’s pretty common nowadays. Having just one trainer, one source of advice, is not enough no matter how good he or she is. A single trainer simply cannot and should not give advice on the wide range we cover, such as: power training, strength training, flexibility, weight reduction, muscle building and injury prevention.
Being referred to a more qualified expert gives you far more confidence than having to hunt down that person yourself (you can forget the advertisements in the telephone directory for example).
Each field has its own set of qualifications and our trainers are qualified in all the separate disciplines, from power training to injury prevention. That includes circuit and weight training, nutrition, motivation and the overall manager who will supervise your whole program!
That is eleven disciplines so far - and each has its own expert. And we could list many more. This is the wide range of expertise that Peak Performance delivers and no-other provider can even come near. Depending on what your objective is, the Peak Performance team is the best we – and you - will find for general training in areas such as strength, endurance, speed, injury prevention, psychology, and sports specific workouts for football, tennis, running, cycling, swimming etc. (You will find a more complete list below).

Test 4: what does the training involve?

How many hours will your training take, taking into consideration the limited amount of time you have available? How easy is a Peak Performance sports-specific workout to pick up? How long before improvements begin to show through?
These are all vital questions, because far more time is taken up with training than competing. It’s very easy for a publisher to hand out a book containing multiple workouts and leave you to carry on. But a top coach will not do that. He gives you specific exercises designed for you and your sport or event. He cuts out or reduces the exercises that are not relevant to your personal goal. He instigates a planned program that will put you more directly on the road to success.
In practice, many members of the Peak Performance community find the time they spend training has actually reduced, while each week their performance gets better and better.
Often, there is just not a buddy to turn to and ask: “What did he mean by that?” It’s therefore vital to know: is the advice you receive clear and easy to follow?
Word-of-mouth recommendation is still the best (and for experienced athletes the only) way to assess and select an advisor.
As our Peak Performance members so often tell us:
“Training advice from Peak Performance has helped me to improve by using the correct exercises and strategies. I have also learned to get the maximum training effect with less time spent than in the past”.
Geoff Lienert, Distance Runner, New Zealand
“Peak Performance helped me to get rid of all unnecessary exercises to improve faster and more efficiently. It tells you up to date information that coaches don’t know yet”.
Matt, Swimmer, Canada

The Evolution Of Speed In Athletics:

Why The Fastest Runners Are 'Black' And Swimmers 'White'
Authors: ADRIAN BEJAN, EDWARD C. JONES & JORDAN D. CHARLES
Here we explain a much avoided phenomenon in the evolution of speed sports for men and women: The world records in running tend to be set by black athletes and in swimming by white athletes. We show that this phenomenon is predictable from physics. Locomotion is a ‘falling-forward’ cycle, in which body mass falls forward and then rises again. Mass that falls from a higher altitude falls faster, down and forward. In running, the altitude (L1) is set by the position of the center of mass above the ground. In swimming, the altitude is set by the upper body rising above the water, and it is proportional to H – L1, where H is the height of the athlete. The anthropometric literature shows that the center of mass in blacks is 3 percent higher above the ground than in whites. This means that blacks hold a 1.5 percent speed advantage in running, and whites hold a 1.5 percent speed advantage in swimming. Among athletes of the same height Asians are even more favored than whites in swimming but they are not setting records because they are not as tall.

Centre of gravity theory for dominance of 'black' sprinters and' white' swimmers
Scientists have tackled one of the taboos of modern sport and believe they have explained why black athletes sweep the medals in sprinting events, while white swimmers dominate in the pool.

This disparity in athletic achievement, obvious to Olympic viewers, throws up so many sensitive questions of race and human difference that it is rarely discussed in public.
But now two US academics have risked controversy by publishing a theory that attempts to explain the contrasting performance of black and white athletes using the laws of locomotion.
They argue that black sprinters have a 0.15 second advantage over their white rivals because they tend to have a higher centre of gravity, meaning they can fall to the ground more quickly between each stride.
Conversely, having a lower then average centre of gravity helps white swimmers because their speed is determined by the height they can get above water.
More of their upper bodies are above the waterline, so they can generate and ride larger waves.
Obs: inca din anii '80, am remarcat aceleas lucruri, referitor la pozitia centrului de greutate si am sugerat acest 2 posibilitati de-al determina, la inotatori; expertiza stiintifica vina sa confirme faptul ca CG, cu cat este mai inalt, ajuta cert manifestarea unei locomotii superioare(vezi lucrarea INOT-Manual metodic, ed. Sport-Turism, 1982, pg.153)
Adrian Bejan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Duke University in North Carolina, and Dr Edward Jones of Howard University in Washington, used existing data on the body dimensions of soldiers of various nationalities to determine that black people – or more precisely those of West African origin – have a centre of gravity three per cent higher than white people.
Prof Bejan said the theory “completely accounts” for the increasing racial segregation of Olympic podiums.
The last 25 men’s 100m sprint world record holders have been black, while white swimmers have held the 100m freestyle world record since 1922.
“What’s a disadvantage in one medium is an advantage in another,” he said. “They are not competing on level playing fields.”
Prof Bejan conceded to The Daily Telegraph that he had “goose bumps and worries” about the publication of his study, and would deplore its exploitations by bigots.
But he said scientists had a duty to pursue research however controversial the conclusions. Dr Jones, the co-author of the paper, is an African-American.
Prof Bejan said: “It’s a physics paper, not an opinion paper. I urge other people to read what I’ve written and then safeguard against attempts to misuse it.
“I’m an observer of nature and I saw the pattern and had to analyse it.”
Previous attempts to explain sporting achievement along racial lines have fallen down on the success of East African long-distance runners, and the researchers concede that their theories of locomotion do not cover endurance events, only sports in which the goal is to achieve maximum possible speed.
Equality campaigners have always resisted attempts to suggest that particular races have inbuilt athletic superiority, claiming that medal trends are best explained by the popularity of different sports in different communities.
The lack of swimming facilities in Africa and black regions of the US have also been cited as a reason for white dominance of the pool.
Dr Jones conceded that cultural factors would always play a role in sporting success. He said: "When I grew up in South Carolina, we were discouraged from swimming."
"There wasn't nearly as much encouragement for us as young people to swim as there was for playing football or basketball."
The research is published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Design and Nature.
What's the secret to running and swimming faster?
The position of your belly button, say scientists
By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 1:36 AM on 14th July 2010
Sports commentators have long avoided trying to explain why blacks dominate on the running track and whites often finish first in the swimming pool.
But scientists in America claim they have come up with a very simple explanation to defy the guardians of political correctness.
They say it’s all down to belly-buttons.


Dominant: Usain Bolt (right) wins the men's 100m final at the Beijing Olympic Games - his speed could be down to the position of his belly button according to a new study
In a study suggesting that navel gazing may not be such a waste of time after all, top US university professors claim it’s not important whether an athlete has an ‘innie’ or an ‘outie’ but where his or her navel is in relation to the rest of the body.
They say the belly-button determines the centre of gravity.
According to the report published yesterday in the International Journal of Design and Nature and Ecodynamics, black people’s navels are higher than whites.
That gives them a speed advantage on the track, said the study, but holds them back in the pool.

Double Olympic champion: White swimmers like Rebecca Adlington have an advantage because of their lower navels, according to the study
Given two runners or swimmers of the same height, one black and one white, ‘what matters is not total height but the position of the belly- button, or centre of gravity,’ claims Duke University professor Andre Bejan, the lead author of the study.
‘It so happens that in the architecture of the human body of West African-origin runners, the centre of gravity is significantly higher than in runners of European origin,’ which puts them at an advantage in sprints on the track, he added.
Blacks generally have longer legs than white athletes, which means their belly-buttons are three centimeters higher than whites', said Professor Bejan.
That means the black athletes have a ‘hidden height’ that is 3 per cent greater than whites', which gives them a significant running speed advantage.
'Locomotion is essentially a continual process of falling forward, and mass that falls from a higher altitude, falls faster, the professor explained.
In the pool, meanwhile, whites have the advantage because they have longer torsos, making their belly-buttons lower in the general scheme of body architecture.
‘Swimming is the art of surfing the wave created by the swimmer,’ said Professor Bejan.
‘The swimmer who makes the bigger wave is the faster swimmer, and a longer torso makes a bigger wave.
'Europeans have a 3 per cent longer torso than West Africans, which gives them a 1.5 per cent speed advantage in the pool,’ he added.
Asians have the same long torsos as Europeans, giving them the same potential to be record-breakers in the pool.
But they often lose out to whites because whites are taller, he explained.
Many scientists have avoided studying why blacks make better sprinters and whites better swimmers because of what the study calls the ‘obvious’ race angle.
But Professor Bejan said the study he conducted with Edward Jones, a professor at Howard University in Washington, and Duke graduate Jordan Charles, focused on the athletes' geographic origins and biology, not race, which the authors of the study call a ‘social construct.’
Professor Bejan is white, originally from Romania, and Professor Jones is black, from South Carolina.
They charted and analysed nearly 100 years of records in men's and women's sprinting and 100-meters freestyle swimming for the study.

DESPRE PRACTICAREA ÎNOTULUI – ANTRENAMENTUL 07

-->

Rezumat
Cum i-am cunoscut pe –
Johny Weissmuler (‘75) şi pe
Vladimir Salnikov (‘83)
In 1975, în luna Iulie, Johny, a făcut un turneu mondial; a poposit şi la Istanbul iar oficialităţile l-au adus la ‘cel mai bun’ club de înot, IYIK Ortakoy, situat pe malul european al Boforului, club la care lucram de cca un an de zile. Era deja deja bătrân (71 de ani) şi cu corpul acelor ani… Printre ‘cometele’ mele era şi un puşti de 10 ani care înota exemplar - ‘Guneş ‘ştia’ atunci 1.04,90 la 100 m liber (!!!)…. Johny a concurat, cu Guneş (în traducere ‘Soare’) pe lăţimea bazinului şi a facut totul că să iasă al .. doilea, un gest de adevărat fost campion. La terminarea ‘ostilităţilor’ i-am fost prezentat …: ‘antrenorul nostru din România’ dar Johny nu a schiţat nici un gest în plus faţă de această precizare…. Peste câteva zile le-am spus celor din club despre originea sa şi lumea a rămas plăcut mirată.
Dar atunci nici eu nu ştiam că Johny, născut în 1904, la Timişoara - cartierul Freidorf, după care familia sa a emigrat în SUA …- a primit cetăţenia americană deabea în 1928 când deja cucerise 5 medalii de aur la JO.
Mai în glumă, mai în serios…. acele medalii puteau fi primele 5 medalii de aur pentru România; astfel, la ora actuală am fi putut ‘raporta’ opiniei publice sportive că noi avem, în palmares, 8 medalii de aur la JO (cu cele două ale Dianei Mocanu, 100+200 m spate, Sidney 2000 şi Camelia Potec la 400 m liber în 2004 - Athena)….

La extrema cealaltă se află imaginea celui care a reuşit de 15 ori performaţa lui Johny Weismuller care a fost primul înotător ce a depăşit graniţa psihologică a performaţei de a înota 1500m sub media celor 60de sec/100m. (Johny a fost primul în 1922, Alameda, SUA, 0.58,60)
Si de atunci a devenit o ‘obsesie’ a tuturor antrenorilor, sportivilor –
‘să reuşesc, în proba mea, să înot sub media de 60 sec- 100m….’
Singura probă de înot craul la care puţini se gândeau să asigure această medie era proba de înot fond – 1500 m. Dar în anii Olimpiadei de la Moskova, acest lucru a fost realizat .
Este vorba de rusul Vladimir Salnikov- ‘Ţarul’ (în foto alături de antrenorul său Igor Koşkin) care a reuşit în 1980 să parcurgă cea mai lungă probă de înot sportiv (1500m) cu o medie de sub un minut pe fiecare sută de metri – Moskova 14.56,40/1980.
De la primul înotător care a reuşit să dea recordului său o viteză medie de sub un minut, pe distanţa de 100m ( Johny Weissmuler) se poate spune că, în circa şase decenii, performanţele la înot au evoluat ‘de 15 ori’…..
(Salnikov şi prof. Igor Koşkin, foto din colecţie personală)
La ora actuală puţine recorduri mondiale la înot au încă o viteză medie de peste un minut – sunt probele de bras, probele feminine de înot fond s.a Dar ‘lupta’ cu secundele continuă şi treptat, nu în scurt timp …, se va putea spune că la toate probele, viteza medie de înaintare/100m este de sub 60’’.

Politrugii din acea vreme au bagatelizat invitaţia lansată prin delegaţia noastră, acestui faimos cuplu, de a veni în Romania, mai exact la Sinaia, Hotel Montana, atât de mult iubeau comunişti - de carieră ca L. Dumitrescu,V. Costandache, S.Todea, ş.a. sportul românesc)….
