Researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences found that ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and acetaminophen (Tylenol) were no more effective than a placebo in alleviating post-exercise muscle soreness. In fact, such drugs may actually inhibit muscle growth when taken after a workout. 

 



After your workout, you should consume between 40-100 grams of simple carbohydrates, depending upon your goals, to refuel muscle glycogen levels and to help stimulate muscle growth by creating an insulin spike that will cause the muscles to grow. Simple carbohydrates are digested faster than complex carbohydrates, which will reach your system within the proper time frame come post-workout to help maximize recovery. 

 




Of the three energy sources (carbohydrates, fat and protein), protein has the least impact on fat storage. If you tend to overeat through mainly carbohydrates or fats, try to replace those foods with more protein-rich foods like chicken or fish. This will provide you with maximal muscle growth and recovery while minimizing fat storage.



According to University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, a 30-minute walk five times a week can help prevent breast cancer. 

 




If you have a frequently jammed finger, you should tape it to the neighboring finger when playing sports. Together the two fingers should be stronger and less likely to bend at a bad angle.



Side lateral raises done with dumbbells at the sides of the thighs better isolates the middle deltoid. However, doing front lateral raises with dumbbells allows you to lift significantly more weight as opposed to performing side lateral raises, which makes it the ideal exercise to overload the middle deltoids.
