There’s a new innovation in ice hockey that the inventor believes will “revolutionize the game of hockey.” Called “Thermoblades” it’s a new type of hockey skate that uses rechargeable batteries and computer microprocessors to heat the skate blades. The result is a thicker layer of water between the blade and the ice surface, which reduces friction and increases skating speed.

The best offensive teams in the NBA of all time Enter the 24 second shot clock- 1954-1955 season There is no doubt that, in the last 70 plus years of professional basketball , the rise of scoring has exploded- especially at the collegiate and professional levels. One of the main reasons for this is that right before the 1954-1955 seasons, the 24 second shot clock was invented.

For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

Babies’ heads often look funny after birth. They become misshapen during delivery, only to return to a nice, round shape a week or two later. Yet, sometimes they don’t. That’s when you have to consider craniosynostosis , a birth defect that afflicts approximately 1 in every 2,000 babies. It’s one of the most common conditions treated at the Cleft and Craniofacial Center at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health.

Some of the best defensive teams in the NBA In basketball , there is an old adage that says offense sells tickets and defense wins championships. However, in modern day basketball- and even going back as far as the 90s- the defensive side of basketball occasionally gets exciting too. This often comes in the form of monster shot blocks and steals, which turn into fast break points.

Is your football defense getting dominated up the middle and outrun around the ends? If so, maybe you have the wrong athletes playing linebacker. According to Sports Illustrated, the latest trend in defense is to emphasize speed over size when selecting linebackers. The position is so important in defense, that many coaches are putting their best players – from both offense and defense – in that position.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Although physical educators have long realized the importance of Quality Daily Physical Education, the need for such programs is still not a priority for parents and policy makers. This is highlighted by the fact that many school boards still use block-scheduling for physical education classes. That is, they schedule a child’s PE classes in either the first or second semester instead of providing them throughout the school year.
