Tennis is a popular sport. To be able to play this game well, you need to prepare yourself with the necessary equipment such as tennis rackets, tennis balls, tennis clothes, and indispensable equipment – tennis shoes. A pair of shoes that fit your feet will help you play better as well as minimize injuries during training and competition. In contrast, a pair of unsuitable shoes can lead to skin blisters, ankle and knee pain, and limit your ability to move. Here, we will provide you with some tips to help you choose a pair of shoes suitable for the practice and competition of this sport.

Based on the characteristics of the foot

There are three basic types of feet and you can identify which kind of foot is in a very simple way. Soak your feet in the water, then step straight to the ground, preferably a cement floor to easily observe the footprint.

• If you see a concave footprint, similar to a crescent moon, you can conclude that your feet are relatively thin, horizontally large. Those who own this foot need a pair of shoes that are relatively comfortable in the toe cap and for the toes. You also need to have extra pads to cushion the concave foot.
• A full, non-concave foot means your feet are thick and flat. This type of condition is very prone to injury when playing tennis, so it is necessary to pay special attention to choosing the right shoe. You should choose the type of shoes that increase the strength and smoothness (especially the heel). People with this type of foot often need special support from the shoes they wear. A pair of shoes sewn well on the sides is a smart choice.
• If your foot shape is a combination of both of the aforementioned: Not too thin, not too full, those who own a foot like this will be very comfortable in choosing shoes. Because they can use almost any type of shoe, as long as it feels comfortable or they can freely choose the type of shoe to play on each type of yard.

Based on the design of each shoe

There are four parts of shoes that you need to care about:

• Toe cap: The first part of the shoe is called the toe cap. The toe cap is usually made of real leather, synthetic leather or a combination of both materials. When you try on a pair of shoes, make sure that the toe cap is comfortable and not too tight. When you try on your shoe, use your thumb to press down on the toe cap of your shoe without touching your big toe to get this balance for the movement of your feet. If you often stand on tiptoe when serving, pay attention to a high-strength shoe.
• Insole: This is the part that your entire foot rests on, but does not affect mobility. If you have foot problems, check to see if the insole is removable. In old cases, this base must be replaced with a new one, able to provide better cushioning.
• The body of the shoe: The body of the shoe is usually made of synthetic resin or other chemical materials. This is the cushion between the foot and the shoe face. For players who play two or three days a week, the shoe body is often broken after 5 or 6 months. As for players who play more often or are more active, the shoe body will break faster. When you don’t feel supported by cushioning, as if your shoes are new, which means the body is no longer usable, you need to buy another pair of shoes.
• Outsole: This is the part of the shoe that touches the yard. The design of the outsole will affect the traction that you will have to create when playing on hard courts and clay courts. Fish-bone shoe insole is suitable for everyone. Moreover, these shoes have good strength, have floor grip when moving, keep the feet stable when hitting the ball while running. Tennis shoes should be heavier than athletic shoes. However, you should buy 2 pairs, 1 light pair for normal training and 1 heavy pair for competition.

Weight of shoes

What is the weight of the shoes you wear? People often say, light shoes are ideal, but sometimes heavy shoes have certain advantages.

The fact is, the lighter the shoe, the faster you move on the field. So why are tennis shoes always heavier than athletic shoes? The constant demand for running and stopping in tennis requires that each pair of shoes must be cushioned, the outsole is durable and all must have very good support. Therefore, tennis shoes are always heavier.

In an effort to lighten the tennis shoes, manufacturers often use outsole designs in the shape of an hourglass (tapered in the middle). This will make the shoe’s curve point towards the middle of the shoe, not the top of the foot, where your toes often move. Pay attention to the curve of the shoes. If it is completely on the upper half, you may have some trouble with all activities, force support. The durability of the shoes will also decrease.

If you are comfortable with both heavy and light shoes, do not hesitate to use both pairs: light pairs for everyday matches and heavier pairs for practice. This secret has been used by many athletes running long distances over the years. If you practice with a heavy shoe and play with lighter shoes, you will feel more agile, can be easily accelerated in every game. And you will feel like you will be able to run faster.

Some other advice

Buying a pair of shoes for tennis must be an investment both in time, money and experience, not merely a random choice or chance. When buying shoes, you need to pay attention to some of the following:

• Please buy shoes after you have played a tennis game, or in the late afternoon because normally your legs will be 5 to 10% bigger after strong activities or at the end of the day. And the more important thing you need to remember is to wear same type of socket in every game. By doing so, you will easily measure the exact size of the shoes you want to use.
• In some cases, many people often have unequal feet, a small one and a big one. At that time, choose shoes that fit longer feet.
• In the case of changing shoes, bring an old pair. Based on that, you will not need to take time to describe and explain but still have a pair of shoes that fit well, full of support factors, durability that you need.
• The final advice for regular players is to try at least two or three different types of shoes before buying.

Instructions on how to store tennis shoes

After choosing the right and suitable tennis shoes, the preservation of shoes is also important to keep the shoes durable. You should avoid washing your shoes as much as possible because washing shoes regularly will reduce the technical functions inside the shoes and make them less durable. In case you wash shoes at home, follow these steps:

• Remove shoelaces from shoes.
• Remove the padding inside the shoe (except for some pair of padded shoes that are glued, you should not try to remove the pad).
• Wash shoes with a toothpaste or a soft cloth to clean stains, then carefully wash with clean water and make sure that the material inside the shoe has been completely rinsed. 
• After washing, dry your shoes in a dry place without sunshine.
• After a few hours, turn the toecap up so that the inside materials are drier. 
• Do not use shoes if the shoes are not completely dry.
• Do not use bleach or chemicals to clean shoes.
• Do not wash shoes and dry shoes with a washing machine or dryer.

The MLB trade deadline is just under two weeks away, and the rumor mill is starting to heat up. While a player’s name popping up in rumors doesn’t guarantee they’ll actually get traded, it certainly seems like Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman will soon be switching jerseys.

Stroman has seemed like a logical trade candidate for a while. The Blue Jays are entering action on Friday with a 36-62 record and have been starting to usher in a new era with players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Cavan Biggio, and others. With Toronto well out of the playoff race, they’re looking for ways to build for the future, and their current ace gives them the perfect opportunity to do so. Whichever team Stroman lands with will receive a big boost. Fans living in Betamerica’s legal states will likely win a lot of money if they wager on Stroman’s new team.

It’s such a known fact that multiple general managers share this same belief, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

The 28-year-old has bounced back from a tough and injury-shortened 2018 in a big way this season. Through 110.2 innings, the right-hander owns a 3.25 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, which includes a 19.1% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate. His 22.0% soft-hit rate allowed is among the top-10 when looking at qualified starters, and his 57.9% ground-ball is once again among the best in baseball.

Stroman is making $7.4 million this season and will be controllable via arbitration in 2020 before hitting the open market. It doesn’t seem like Toronto wants him in the organization for the long term, and the hurler’s performance/contract status makes it a ripe situation for maximizing their return in a potential swap.

We’re going to evaluate nine potential suitors in the pages that follow. This is not an exhaustive list. These teams are all interesting fits in their own right, though.

Philadelphia Phillies

Remember when the Phillies were included in all these articles over the winter? Well, a few months doesn’t change the fact that they remain interested in being aggressive. While the Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals (two teams we’ll be talking about momentarily) have passed by them in the National League East standings, they’re still very much in the wild-card race.

When looking at Philly’s roster, the starting rotation isn’t exactly a strength — their 3.6 cumulative fWAR is among the bottom third in baseball entering Thursday’s action. Aaron Nola has turned things around, but there are a lot of question marks behind him.

The biggest question mark of all is Jake Arrieta, who is pitching through a bone spur in his throwing elbow. Opting for surgery would be of the season-ending variety, yet he hasn’t exactly been a sparkling version of consistency when on the mound (4.54 ERA in 113 innings).

If the Phillies are serious about making a run for the postseason and avoiding a second consecutive late-season slide, they’ll need to fortify their rotation. Playing in a hitter-friendly park like Citizens Bank makes Stroman’s skillset that much more attractive. Plus, his contract situation would certainly fit into Philly’s current attempted window at contention.

Washington Nationals

On May 24th, the Nationals were 10 games out of first place thanks to a 20-31 record. While it was early, manager Davey Martinez’s seat had to have been getting a little warm, don’t you think? Well, they’ve caught fire since then and have reached and surpassed the .500 mark.

They’ve done a number on their playoff odds, as well:

When looking at rotation fWAR prior to Thursday’s games, Washington also has the best staff in baseball (13.4 fWAR). It’s not necessarily close, either — the next-closest team is the Los Angeles Dodgers at 11.9.

Clearly, this is an area of strength with hurlers like Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, and Patrick Corbin heading the front of this rotation. Anibal Sanchez has gone from being one of baseball’s worst pitchers in March/April to posting a season-long ERA of 3.71 through 89.2 innings.

Regardless of their frontline depth, the Nationals are a potential fit for a few reasons. Scherzer and Corbin will be around, but Strasburg could technically opt out of his contract following the season (although it doesn’t seem like that’ll happen). And speaking of Scherzer, he’s currently on the injured list with a back strain, which is something to monitor. Washington also hasn’t had a ton of luck or stability in the fifth spot of its rotation.

Putting together a postseason rotation wouldn’t be an easy task for Martinez if Stroman were added, but of course, the Nats must get there first.

Atlanta Braves

Stroman and the Braves are an interesting fit because if Atlanta did what everyone thought they should’ve done this past winter, they wouldn’t be in this position. Even after signing Dallas Keuchel, this mostly young rotation hasn’t performed particularly well as a unit.

Among the five Atlanta starters with at least 50 innings pitched, they have as many pitchers with an ERA above 6.00 (Kevin Gausman and Mike Foltynewicz) as they do below 4.00 (Mike Soroka and Julio Teheran). Keuchel was a necessary veteran addition, but he’s only guaranteed to be around until the end of this year.

With the kind of young core they have in place, Atlanta’s window for contention is longer than that. Locking in a veteran starter with postseason experience and a love for the spotlight is something they could totally use.

They do have a comfortable lead in the NL East, but the aforementioned Nationals have been charging ahead over the last two months, and who knows what the Phillies are capable of prior to the deadline. The extra wrinkle in this situation is general manager Alex Anthopoulos, who was in charge of the Blue Jays at the start of Stroman’s professional career.

He’s already played into this connection once by signing Josh Donaldson to a one-year deal via free agency. There’s always a chance he could do it again.

New York Yankees

There are a couple teams on this list where just the thought of them getting Stroman doesn’t seem fair. The Yankees would be one of those teams.

Even while their roster was riddled with injuries, they found a way to rise to the top of the American League East standings. And they did it without Luis Severino at the front of their rotation. New York did make a couple impact acquisitions for the rotation this past winter, but as the old saying goes, more pitching is never a bad thing.

James Paxton hasn’t exactly been a picture of health throughout his career, while J.A. Happ hasn’t been nearly effective as he was for the Yankees last season. Coincidentally enough, they acquired him via midseason trade with the…Blue Jays. It’s not as if the Yankees haven’t targeted ground-ball pitchers in the middle of the season before, too — even if the Sonny Gray deal didn’t work out.

Stroman being born and raised on Long Island and having a penchant for the spotlight also doesn’t hurt anything. Dealing a player within the division is not exactly a popular decision, but New York has a deep farm that’d be attractive to any seller. And as mentioned before, these two teams came together on a deal just last season.

Milwaukee Brewers

The Brewers have needed a frontline starter for the past two seasons. They came within one win of the World Series last season without acquiring an ace and are still in the thick of things with regard to the National League Central race this year.

Grabbing a starter of Stroman’s caliber would not only keep him from other division rivals, but they could just also really use one for their own rotation. Milwaukee came into this season with a bunch of questions in this area of the roster, and not a whole lot has changed.

Brandon Woodruff has emerged as a solid and reliable hurler, leading the squad with 114.2 innings pitched, which has led to a 3.53 ERA and 3.2 fWAR. Zach Davies has also bounced back following a tough 2018, but he and Woodruff are the only Brewers pitchers with more than 90 innings under their belt. The next closest is Jhoulys Chacin with 83 frames, but he’s produced a 5.18 ERA in the process.

Adding Gio Gonzalez after the season started will be a boost overall. However, with Jimmy Nelson’s return not going nearly as smooth as hoped and his immediate future cloudy, the Brewers sure could use another horse. Why not someone who can generate a ton of ground balls while pitching at Miller Park?

Why is Jiu Jitsu so effective? This is a commonly asked question that many people who are familiar with mixed martial arts ask. The answer is quite complex and consists of numerous factors including the history of this practice, philosophy, and techniques.  

One of the things that makes BJJ so unique is that it not only allows you to become a stronger version of yourself but a better one as well. What do we mean? Well, much like Kyokushin Kai and Judo, it comes with a unique philosophy that has its connection to Buddhism and Taoism, and thus may help you achieve the inner peace you have been looking for. Plus, BJJ is one of the best ways to grasp your life and take full control over it. 

Traditional Jiu Jitsu originated back in Japan, as the sports that were practiced by Samurai and other notable fighters. At first, it was a mix of yoga, fluid movement, and fighting techniques. At one point, around two centuries ago, a practitioner moved to Brazil, and that is where, combined with Judo techniques, BJJ found its way to the international ground. 

The practice of BJJ is unique and accompanied by equipment highlighted by GI — we recommend you to take a look at this guide that will help you make the right decision. Without further ado, let’s take a look at all the advantages connected with practicing BJJ. 

Effective Self-Defense  

This doesn’t come as a surprise as BJJ was initially founded to be a self-defense martial art that will allow a weaker person to overcome a stronger one. This practice is a combination of grappling and on-the-ground fighting techniques. Now, you will probably say that this wouldn’t be effective in a street fight, but believe it or not, most encounters of this kind, end up on the ground.  

What this means is that as long as you are not heavily outnumbered, and your opponent doesn’t have a weapon, you will be able to get into a dominant position and come out on top. This doesn’t mean that it excludes striking — in fact, it will act as your second line of defense, as most people are not comfortable with wrestling and fighting on the ground. 

It Can be Universally Practiced 

One of the best things about BJJ is that it has no restrictions. What we mean is that whether you are a man or a woman, a kid or an adult, if you have the will to learn new fighting techniques, BJJ will welcome you.  

In fact, it is recommended to be practiced by those that feel insecure about themselves, as the philosophy that accompanies it will increase your physical and mental strength. While BJJ sparring is intense, it is a rare martial art where you are not at risk of serious injuries or strains (unlike boxing and MMA). 

Intense Workout 

Another reason why BJJ fighters are so effective when it comes to an encounter is because of the stamina they have. As a combination of fighting, fluent movement, and yoga, BJJ is a great way to stay fit and get into the perfect shape. A typical BJJ practice consists of warming up, cardio, practicing techniques, sparring, and stretching, which will result in a physical advantage over your opponent in the long term. 

Superb for UFC Cage 

Last but not least, BJJ is a superb martial art when you are in a UFC cage. In fact, many of the great fighters like Nate Diaz, Charles Oliviera, and Demian Maia are perfect examples of how effective this practice can be in an MMA environment. It teaches you how to be dominant when on the ground, and with all techniques, including rear-chokes and guillotine, there is no other outcome than for the match to finish in a submission! 

Conclusion 

We always like to emphasize the importance of practicing any martial art, as it is good for your body, mind, and soul. Out of all the available options, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seems to be the most effective due to the combination of striking and grappling techniques that it uses.  

The whole concept is based on one opponent submitting to the other, no matter whether one is bigger than the other, which makes it accessible for anyone who wants to learn self-defense and be prepared for an encounter of any type. With BJJ in your life, you will be on a constant self-improvement path that has benefits in every area of your life. 

Ostarine also goes by the alternative names Enobosarm, Ostamuscle or MK-2866. It is a safe and mild drug with muscle-preserving benefits that would pique your interest. Despite being initially developed for treating muscle conditions, Ostarine is quite popular with bodybuilders. An Ostarine review that follows below will help you appreciate SARMs and more specifically the MK-2866.

Ostarine Effects & benefits

By composition, SARMs only target specific androgen receptors in your muscles. They do not interfere with other body processes. The Ostarine cycle helps your body build muscle while also burning fat. Recall that the drug manufacturers created it to fight diseases that waste your muscles. Therefore, in retrospect, it must be having the ability to build muscle.

While pursuing your bodybuilding objectives, priority must be on reducing calories in your diet. As you progress, you may notice the loss in muscle mass. To reverse this, Ostarine keeps your muscles intact, enabling you to be on an adequate diet. Besides, you do not suffer from the loss of body strength.

Ostarine Dosage

An ideal intake should be between 20 to 30mg/day. However, this is not stuck in stone as you can choose something in between the two limits. If your goal is to cut, then a daily dose of between 15 to 20mg would suffice. For bulking, 30mg per day would hack it. Nonetheless, MK-2866 is a mild SARM meaning that you cannot achieve much at a low dosage.

One may wonder whether there is a specific Ostarine cycle to pursue. The answer is an emphatic ’’NO.’’ Whichever period you choose your personal goals should be the overriding factor. In almost every Ostarine review you read, the cycles last between 8 and 12 weeks. Regardless, you must not exceed 12 weeks; otherwise, you stand the risk of suffering from drug suppression.

Ostarine results begin to show in the second week. As a beginner, you could opt for 10mg per day for eight weeks. As a more experienced bodybuilder, 20mg Ostarine for ten weeks is fine. Alternatively, consider the other option of 30mg Ostarine for 12 weeks.

SARMs Ostarine Side effects

Despite there being side effects in the use of Ostarine, they are not something to worry so much. Failure to stick to the suggested dosage can cause back pain and headaches. At times, you could also have lethargy. 

Frequent headaches are common among first-time users. They can also occur in your first few days of using Ostarine. Usually, they go away after a while, but if they persist, cut your intake by half the dose. Eventually, your body gets accustomed to MK-2866.

Some users might experience puffy nipples, but these are few and exceptional cases. For safe usage of Ostarine, in case you feel unusual, reduce the dosage for a while, before resuming gradually. Whichever approach or cycle you opt for, never extend your intake beyond 12 weeks.

Where to buy Ostarine

Considering that SARMs are not mainstream drugs that you can buy from the pharmacist across the street, you must be very careful. However, there are reputed online sellers who will sell you authentic Ostarine. You can find links to such sellers from an Ostarine review.  Avoid ordering from Alibaba or some shady site that you landed into while doing an online search.

Buying Ostarine from unapproved sources puts you at risk. You could end up receiving a product that is not MK-2866, buy an underdose, or get nothing at all. Some vendors have set up nonexistent outlets to rip you off. The worst part is that your health is none of their concerns. Here are a few tips:

•        Stay away from Ostarine sellers that do not offer third-party testing. Legitimate vendors must have third-party lab tests. Legit sources usually send their products to reputable labs for analysis. Check and confirm that the results show purity tending towards 98 percent and above.

•        Avoid vendors that aggressively markets SARMs as if they were supplements. For your information, SARMs are not supplements. They are chemicals used in ongoing research.

•        Avoid cheap offers. Some vendors may look like they are offering you Ostarine and other SARMs at a bargain. Listen to the small voice in your head, if something does not sound right, stay away from such a transaction.

•        User reviews are another pointer to whether a seller is genuine or not. Check the reviews posted by real users or buyers from that site. If there are more positive reviews than negative ones, then you should consider buying from that vendor. On the contrary, if there are few or no reviews at all, exercise caution when dealing with the vendor.

Despite its being a mild SARM, Ostarine still delivers impressive results. The drug burns fat and builds muscle. You should start seeing results in around two weeks. Lastly, vet your source thoroughly before making a purchase.

Summer is upon us and it is time to travel to new places in search of a getaway. If you are planning on travelling somewhere and enjoy vaping, then there are certain things which you should know about. Booking for your next holiday is only the first step and you need to know what you pack in the luggage. The most important question which you need to ask yourself is which vape kit and vape flavor you should take with you when travelling. 

On Flight

The rules are similar for vapers and non-vapers when flying. The TSA allows for a certain amount of vape liquids to be carried. One can take gels, liquids, aerosols, pastes and cream in their suitcase. You need to pack the vape kit and vape flavors like cyclops vapors properly in the suitcase so as to ensure that the liquid does not drip onto other things such as your clothes or documents.

Keep the vape inside the luggage when flying. Everyone knows that they are not allowed to smoke when boarding a plane. There are certain smoking areas at the airport when you can smoke but during the flight, it is not permitted to do so. Pack the vape kit and flavors in the non-checked baggage meaning that you will have to take them with you when on the plane. The TSA only permits carrying vaporizers, e-cigarettes, vape pens, electronic nicotine and atomizers in your carry-on or the baggage which you carry with you when boarding the plane. 

Check all the Restrictions

One of the most important things which you need to keep in mind when travelling with your vape is checking all the restrictions beforehand. This means that you need to know about the place that you travel to and from where you travel that are there any restrictions in place regarding vape. There are certain countries for example, where it isn’t easy to take vaporizers with you. Therefore, in order to avoid any hassles, make sure to check all the restrictions before flying. It could save you from a lot trouble and time which could be spent at the beach. 

Batteries

When it comes to batteries, lithium-ion batteries just aren’t allowed to be carried in your checked baggage. Hence, you would also need to take them with you in your carry-on. You can leave the battery inside the vaporizer or the device. Dry batteries on the other hand are permitted to be carried in checked baggage or carry-on. 

Research

The best thing which you can do is research. It will help you find out whether, the country or state that you travel to has any restrictions in place regarding vape. You should consider doing the research before booking as it will help you choose a location where it is easy for vape travelers to bring their prized possessions along when on their trip. Furthermore, when you do research, it helps you find out the best places for vape users to travel to.
