Although most forms of torture are frowned upon these days, sports massage, though thankfully banished from the Dark Peak hut, is still in demand.\u00a0 Accordoing to a study from Stirling\u00a0\u00a0use of\u00a0sports massage at major events has remained substantial and steady since 1987 (<\/font>Galloway and Watt<\/font><\/a>) ,despite the absence of evidence it is effective, and some that it isn’t (<\/font>Jonhagen et al<\/font><\/a>). You won\u2019t be surprised that sports massage and other forms of painful therapy result in significant increases in blood pressure (<\/font>Cambron et al<\/font><\/a>) . <\/font><\/p>\n

How long are your telomeres?<\/strong><\/font>\u00a0<\/font>\u00a0<\/font>\u00a0<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/font>A telomere is a tag of DNA that is attached to your chromosomes.\u00a0 It appears to be a marker of age,\u00a0gets shorter as you get older and\u00a0plays an important role in the mechanism of cell aging.\u00a0 A\u00a0\u00a0recent study\u00a0<\/font>\u00a0\u00a0(Chirkas et al\u00a0<\/a>) found that 3.5 hours of exercise a week results in the telomere length and possibly biological age of a\u00a0non exercising\u00a0person 10 years younger\u00a0\u00a0 (<\/font>Telegraph<\/font><\/a>).\u00a0<\/font><\/font>\u00a0<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Running together<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure we all feel that we run harder, faster and further on Wednesday evenings than we might running alone.\u00a0 A study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (Grindrod et al<\/a>) <\/font>shows the difference exercising in groups makes.\u00a0 8 healthy men and 8 healthy women performed a six minute walk in controlled non competitive conditions both alone and in a group of four.\u00a0 The average distance covered rose from 616 to 702 metres for women (+14%) and 654 to 736 metres for men (+13%). <\/font><\/font>So all you slackers get down to the hut on Wednesday nights!<\/font><\/p>\n
