Why the pulse is so important when runningSpeed is not magic. The pulse plays a major role. Sports scientist Prof. Dr. Jurgen Giebing explains how runners* increase their performance through correct pulse calculation.

Endurance sports like running offer a number of health benefits. These include reduced body fat, accelerated metabolism, improved immune function, and an increase in overall well-being. If we take into account the fact that cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death in our civilized world, it quickly becomes clear that the question is not whether you should do endurance training, but how you should do it.

To answer this question, it makes sense to briefly discuss the components of a training program, the so-called training parameters. They include volume, frequency, density and intensity of the running sessions completed.

Water in the lungs – What does it mean exactly??Water in the lungs – one hears it again and again – but what does it actually mean exactly and what is behind it? Fluid in the lungs is life threatening. Can lead to suffocation if left untreated. One must distinguish between fluid accumulation in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Distinguish in the chest (thoracic effusion). Both cause dyspnea, but cause and treatment are usually different. I would like to focus on the problem of "water in the lungs". Will only briefly write about thoracic effusion in the last paragraph.

Water in the lungs – pulmonary edema

Possible causes¹:

Heart failure
– Toxins (z.B. Smoke gas) – Medications – Iatrogenic (over-infusion) – Protein deficiency – Infections – Electrical shock, seizures, head trauma – Blocked airways (z.B. by foreign bodies) – "inhalation" of fluid (z.B. under anesthesia, under water) – lack of oxygen (altitude sickness)

Heart failure is the most common cause of pulmonary edema. Other causes are less common, usually occur late in the course of other diseases, and often have a different clinical picture and other symptoms.

What is MRSA? The abbreviation "MRSA" stands for the designation

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This is a bacterium that is resistant to the active substance methicillin. This agent is used in the antibiotics commonly used today. As a rule, the MRSA bacteria are also resistant to the active substance oxacillin. Some MRSA pathogens are even multidrug resistant, d.h. Antibiotic agents. Can therefore not be killed by these.

In plain language, this means for those affected that diseases caused by MRSA pathogens can be fought only with difficulty with antibiotics.

In recent years, the
training pulse are becoming more and more important in sports activities. For many athletes today, effective training is no longer imaginable without determining their own heart rate. It not only provides information about the athlete's performance, but also allows the athlete to optimize the athletic load, to train in a targeted and effective manner. For people with pre-existing heart disease, knowing their exercise pulse is particularly important. In the best case they train ineffectively, in the worst case it can come to the endangerment, z.B. by the occurrence of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia or even a heart attack.

Today, both competitive athletes and beginners design their training plans primarily according to the measured pulse values. In addition to heart rate, age, general health and training volume should of course also be taken into account in order to optimize one's own training.

In age-related macular degeneration (AMD) there is a loss of central visual acuity. The term macula comes from Latin and refers to the center of the retina, the area of sharpest vision that is only 2 square millimeters in size. It is also known as a "yellow spot" Designated. The majority of the most sensitive sensory cells of the eye, the so-called cones, are located in this area. Through these cells, the person can see colors. Perceiving sharp images. In the process, the light-sensitive parts are constantly consumed, repelled, disintegrated and transported away by the action of the light of the cones. At the same time new membrane discs grow back. This normal metabolic process is disturbed with increasing age and can lead to AMD.

AMD is the most common cause of severe visual impairment in people over the age of 50. It affects about. 30 % of 75-85 year olds. Ca. 2 million people in Germany suffer from AMD. With the aging of society, the absolute number of people with the disease increases year after year.
