Producing Powerful Movements
The basic formulas for producing Power in physics is simple, it just ain't easy
Power = Work/Time
To produce power, you need to work hard over a period of time.
The Kincetic Formula, the science of human movements is a little more complex but basically similar
KE = 0.5 • m • v2
And here is the JP baseball formula for power
Power = Strength + Speed + Fundamentals + Efficiency
SAT College Info
Test day is here, and you’ve got everything you need: photo ID, pencils, calculator, snack—and the confidence that comes from knowing what to expect.
You’re On Your Way
One of our biggest goals in changing the SAT was to make sure it’s highly relevant to your future success. The new test is more focused on the skills and knowledge at the heart of education. It measures:

What you need to succeed in college
If you think the key to a high score is memorizing words and facts you’ll never use in the real world, think again. You don’t have to discover secret tricks or cram the night before....

Hydration
Today's e-lesson is on Hydration.
Hydration is just as important as food intake before and after exercise. Two hours before exercise, athletes should consume 16 ounces of water or a sports drink to help hydrate them ahead of time. Thirty minutes before exercise, athletes should intake another eight ounces to prepare themselves for activity.
During activity, fluids should be available for athletes at all times. Because athletes are sweating out important fluids, they must replenish them by drinking eight ounces every 20 minutes. If players are engaging in short activity, of 30 seconds or less, they are at a high risk for dehydration because of the intensity of the work.
Long-term activity of 30 minutes or more requires periodic rehydration, such as the eight ounces every 20 minutes just suggested. If an activity lasts more than 40 minutes, water is not sufficient to rehydrate the body. The nutrient loss through sweat requires a sports drink to replenish electrolytes.
Many athletes will prefer not to drink during activity or will feel ill directly after intense exercise. All athletes must drink adequate liquids before, during, and after activity to avoid dehydration, which can lead to nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.
After activity, athletes should continue to intake fluids. At this point, fluids can be the normal amount the athlete would consume with a meal and through the rest of the day.
A total of 64 ounces of fluid is a minimum for athletes, though more is suggested. A good test of proper hydration is a urine test. Athletes should pass clear urine, not dark or with a restricted flow. Encourage athletes to pay attention to their own needs, as all athletes will have slightly different needs. If an athlete feels uncomfortable, light-headed, or otherwise abnormal, they should come to you for counseling.
As fluid intake levels will change based on environmental effects, pay attention to the outside influences affecting fluid needs in athletes.
