What are the main differences ... for the legs. I use to do the Seated Leg Extension [ http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/strengthtraining/gym/seatedlegextension.asp ] and the hamstring curl [ http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/strengthtraining/gym/hamstringcurl.asp ] but I sit not...

sunscreen for head, any ideas?, I have a #2 shaved head and felt sun burnt / peeling on my head. I am not the biggest fan of hats, they seem to get in the way, and I dont really want to rub oily sunscreen thorugh my hair ... not even sure I can wash that out completely any ideas ?

I think one of the best features in tennis tv broadcasting lately is the super slow motion videos ( when they focus on the player not some leaf blowing across the court). Anyway, I was taping the Aus Open today on my tv card and thought I might share some of the super slow motion videos. There...

Just wondering if there are any indoor soccer players here who can help me create some sort of order/player positioning. 4 a side + goalie.

I read this in todays paper [the advertiser, adelaide] how ridiculous is that!

Hello, I seem to have a bit of pain in my right knee, on the medial [inside] side. I can feel the pain when standing with my knees locked [ie straight]. Poking and rubbing the area with a finger does not really seem to locate the pain. The pain is dull and there was no swelling. Its been...

I can't for the life of me find any close up pics of the wilson ncode ... I remember some thread saying that TW measures their own specification for racquets. The spec I am interested in at the moment is the how many points head light. Now, I think that the wilson ncode racquets have this...

I have a LM prestige mid. I know how 60lbs feels for PSGD17 [I thought I might try the laserfibre supreme 17 this time]. I would like to try a little looser tension as well, try something different ... partly due to that article where Nate Ferguson [think it was him] said that if the strings...

Are the line umpire allowed to touch the ball ie to help the ball kids? I assumed not because at the AO and wimbledon when they are sitting on those chairs and the ball is right under the chair they never touch it and wait for the ball kid to come and get it. Yet at the US open I notticed the...

Whats the deal with Hewitt and his umpire glaring when he gets foot faulted. Does he really think the umpire is wrong or what? It's quite funny listening to the commentators because they are split, ones going "... its the same umpire calling it again ..." the other is like "no I don't think it...

I am watching the match between Fed and Nalbandian and the commentators said something along the line of "...you can see how much harder Nalbandian is working by the amount he is sweating...". Is sweat really an indicator? I sweat a fair bit and very quickly compared to my friends and I am hell...

The finals are now being shown in Australia in the wee hours of the morning so i am recording them on my computer ... funny thing is the Advertisements are in widescreen, the video of the comentators talking are in widescreen but all the action is in standard 3:4 aspect ratio. I thought that was...

At the gym their are several lat machines. One is called a lat pulldown and is basically a bar which you pull down. Another is called a lat machine where you grab 2 handles above your head [the handles are next to each other ... so your arms basically start together] and pull it down to either...

I just purchased a second hand 19" monitor off **** but it did not come with any software. I am looking for the utility "MouScreen" any chance anyone has it. I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web legal or illegal. Samsung website is even worse, I got the drivers from here but could not...

My computer has been turning off lately. I'd get home/wake up and it would be off. I am thinking short black outs, but my stereo is keeping perfect time. [once my stereo goes off for longer than 5 sec's it loses the time and it will blink 12:00]. Anyway, I'd like to know what time it goes off...

I have been taping wimbledon on my computer and want to cut the adds out, split up the big files ... Can anyone suggest a good video editor I can download for this? At the moment I use the nero one, it keeps crashing on me and slow ... thanks

I am having some signal troubles with my digital TV. So I went and checked the cables ... In Australia, it appears RG6 is the "standard" for coax. It has several layers of aluminium[?] and foil shielding. My current cable is a single layer copper shield, not sure its exact part number. So...

At the gym, I noticed something a bit weird when I am using the cardio machines. I use a heart rate monitor and I notice that when I use the cross trainer my heart rate hovers around the 170/180 mark and I feel like I am breathing quite hard. When I slow down a bit my heart rate goes down and so...

After looking at the pictures in the pictures thread, it appears clay courts are very evident in europe and there seems to be a higher number of grass courts in Britian. So players from these countries/regions seem to be "brought up" on these surfaces. Is that correct? Yet here in Australia...

Holy moly, Australia lost to Bangladesh. Australia just lost 3 quick wickets to England, hmmmmmmmmmmm.

My prince duraflex 17, broke in about 10 hours play. The thing is the same string lasted about 20 hours last time on a higher tension. Last time, the strings did not move until right before it broke, at this time I could see severe notching and knew they were about to break. However, this...

I've been looking at stringers lately and I stumbled upon this constant pull and non-constant pull thing and have only just understood the difference ... I think. Constant pull, like a drop weight which is constantly pulling the string at a predefined tension [because gravity is always acting...

Many posts here have people describing how a string feels using words like soft, crisp, stiff, more feel, lively, boardy, more pop, touch ... [can't think of any more at the moment]. I know the difference between loose and tight tension in terms of how they feel and I tend to relate the above...

I am in the process of testing out some new strings and I would like to know if its worth trying textured strings. I use the LM prestige mid with prince duraflex 17 @60lbs [thinking of going to 62lbs]. I am comfortable with the spin I am producing, but I certainly wouldn't be complaining if I...

If you use the same string is there any advantage to stringing the crosses and main at different tensions? and Is there any advantage to stringing a racquet with one string over stringing it with seperate mains and crosses with the same strings? [other than the manufacturer ssaying 2...

This isn't really that important I received my package from TW today ... yeah :D . There is a sticker on the box that says Priority A If undelivered return to dept. 633 PO BOX 5001 SE-202 26 Malmo Sweden anyone know why this is?

In the past week down in Australia there have been some cases of AFL (thats australian football) players saying they take caffeine pills before/during a game. Has anyone tried this for tennis or any other sport? I have always thought caffeine draws water out of the body which is bad for...

this came to mind and got me thinking while reading that post about Henin's "cheating". If you hit a ball out and you see that it is out, but your opponent calls it in and you don't correct them, is this cheating? what if your opponent didn't see it and asks you, is it cheating to say...

Just wondering if anyone has been shown by a physio (or someone whos knows how to use it) how to use a wobble board. I googled it and I got some exercies i.e back & forth, side to side, rotate, balance what I want to know is am I meant to do these exercises without bending my knee? and...

How sturdy does the butt cap actually have to be? I swing all my strokes with my hand levered on the butt cap, anyone else do the same thing and have their butt caps coming off (especially if you are using the head LM prestige)? My first racquet was broken at the butt cap, I ripped the cap...
