Physical Education Tips of the Week #43
May 1, 2008

Dick Moss, Editor


1. Editor's Note

Have you ever wondered exactly who produces PE Update.com and PE Tips of the Week? In fact, we're not a huge multinational corporation!
Check us out at: Who We Are.

This week, we've included two scientific studies on spring sports. One dispels the assumption that fastballs can be hit farther than curve balls. The other examines the effectiveness of raised and inclined boards in long jump training. Plus, we included a super relay for classes or field days...it uses toilet plungers!

This newsletter also provides free links to a video that shows the outcome of the first Alan Iverson versus Michael Jordan matchup; the weekly blog, in which I discuss the horrendous coaching behaviour exhibited in a football documentary; and a rehabilitation article on inexpensive self-massage equipment for healing iliotibial band injuries.

This newsletter is free, but most of the content on the website is for members-only, including instructional videos, the discussion group, almost 2000 articles that you can read, print and email... and much more.

If you're not already a member, I highly recommended that you join!! Get more information here:

ALAN IVERSON VERSUS MICHAEL JORDAN - THE 1ST MATCHUP

With the NBA playoffs underway, I thought this video would be appropriate.
All-star guard, Alan Iverson, always dreamed of going mano-a-mano against Michael Jordan. Here's how Iverson (looking very young) made out when his dream finally came true. Unfortunately, Iverson's current team, the Denver Nuggets, were eliminated from the playoffs - swept in four games by the LA Lakers.

5. Pick of the Week

Each week, I'll highlight a useful article from the PE Update Archives. The article will be available to non-members of the website for a week, and to members forever!

This week's pick is:
TRAINING-ROOM TIPS: ILIOTIBIAL BAND SELF-MASSAGE

Iliotibial band syndrome is a nasty injury, producing pain on the outside of the knee. Fortunately, it responds to massage. If your students don't have a massage partner, they can use foam noodles or pop bottles to massage their iliotibial band. Here's how.
