Athlete Testimonial: MARIO MOLA Triathlete 2009, Junior World Champion Qualified for the London 2012 Olympics What has been your credo in life that helps you overcome each challenge? Hope and the ambition to continue improving, both in the world of sports and elsewhere. Can you share some of your training tips to perform better? Keep at it steadily, day in day out, in spite of the fact that your body obviously wont always respond the same way. You shouldnt always go by the results listen to your body. What advantages or benefits has the COMPEX Wireless brought to your performance? Rest and good recovery are very important when it comes to coping with intensive and/or extended periods of training. Also, good physical preparation and optimum muscle tone mean that I can train and compete regularly, without injuries. Thanks to COMPEX Wireless, I can look after all these key details while always being 100%. What are your preferred programmes and when do you use them? My favourite programmes after hard training sessions are decontracture and reviving massage. Ive also been able to cope with minor problems using the endorphinic programme and modulated TENS. On the other hand, I top up my gym work with two or three sessions a week of resistance/explosive strength, depending on my objective. What is your ultimate goal in your career? I try to forge ahead steadily without obsessing about the future. Being in London will be a great experience for me in itself, and I hope itll help me do more and better in the coming years. Time and work will see to the rest.

09.01.2022 Todays COMPEX Open Day was well attended. Thanks to all who came along. Pictured is Daithi who is running the Perth Marathon tomorrow. He was looking for some last minute, bionic preparation, to get him to the start line. Good luck tomorrow Daithi...Wishing you a swift race.

09.01.2022 Relate to your Athlete: The below 2 questions are part of a Training Peaks questionnaire. Both very important and instrumental to how you as an athlete get coached... Some people get motivation from their coach. Other athletes prefer their coaches to be more data-driven and scientific. Coaches can be both, but this question is gauging how much more support and motivation you need from your coach. Question 1... How important is it that your coach be your cheerleader? 1 Not important 2 3 4 5 Very important Question 2. How important is it that your coach be data-driven and open to conversations with you regarding your device files? 1 Not important 2 3 4 5 Very important ...My view is, as a coach you need to Coach your Athlete so they are motivated to produce results. If your athlete is Data Driven, then this is how they should be coach lead. If on the other hand athletes need a cheerleader, then likewise...you as a coach need to be this. The athletes progression will happen through a tailored and structured plan. The delivery is what motivates athletes to produce results. I call this...Relating to your Athlete.

08.01.2022 15 Reasons onWhy Do Tires Lose Pressure? Has anyone ever noticed that if you ride every day, your tires deflate slower than if you leave the bike alone for we...eks without riding? I can go for weeks riding every day, without pumping the tires, and the minute I dont ride for a week, the tires are totally flat. Why is this? Well I have found 15 reasons as to why this may happen. I particularly like No8makes perfect sense! 1. As you ride along, the air caught between the tire and the ground is pushed into the tire, replacing the air that has leaked out. 2. I think that the white powder in the tubes works to clog the pores of the rubber. When you ride, that powder is constantly being spread around to fill those pores. When your bike sits idly by, waiting for you to give it some attention, the powder settles down and the air begins to slowly leak out. 3. The tires are really enthusiastic about riding! As long as you keep riding, they stay pumped up! But when you go without riding for a week, they become really deflated! 4. Years ago, a few tube manufacturers, under pressure to reduce the weight of their inner tubes began looking for ways to make a lighter tube. First they did a little market use analysis and determined that the worst time for a tube to lose air is when its being used. As a tube is being spun while in use, they realized that due to the laws of centripetal acceleration, the air presents the greatest pressure on the outer wall of the tube. This lead to the obvious answer, they could shave the thickness of the inner wall! By doing this, theyve created tubes that are lighter, and yet, just as effective at holding air while being used. When the tube is not spinning, it of course, loses air at a faster rate, as the air is no longer constrained by centripetal forces, and presents more pressure to the inner wall (the thinner one). For racers, this was no big deal. They fastidiously check their tire pressure before every ride anyway. Under pressure from racer wannabes, the tube manufacturers eventually had to make all of their tubes to match the higher performance racing tubes and so through market forces now sell the multi-thickness tubes exclusively. 5. Actually, its because they lose muscle tone when not being used, thus they become flabby. 6. You are probably failing to park your bike with the valves up. If the bike sits around idle, the air eventually stops moving and ends up in the bottom of the tire. If you park with the valve stems near the bottom, the valves may not be able to handle the additional air and will leak. 7. If you ride fast, its relativistic time dilation at work. 8. I think this has to do with the uncertainty principle and Schroeders cat (or was it Charlie Browns dog?). If no one is watching the tires, they have a 50-50% chance of being flat, so one day theyre flat, and the next day theyre full of air. But as long as youre watching them, they have to behave normally. The solution is to keep the bike in the living room, so the tires will have to behave. Another solution is to put the bike in the closet when the tires are flat and not take it out until you find them full of air. 9. Maybe its because when you ride, it heats up the tube (due to pressure the rider exerts down and the resistance of the tire on the road), which may cause the rubber material to expand a little bit like a piece of dough rising. If the bike remains cold for many days, the tube material may shrink and permit some of the pressurized air in the tube to escape. 10. But then how do we rationalize the mysterious "High pressure leak" that only occurs under high-inflation, and disappears when you inflate the tube at a lower pressure and check for holes in a tub of water? These leaks would seem more likely to occur when riding than when not. Cant the tubes get their act together and be more consistent in their behavior? 11. The answers given thus far certainly lack any scientific basis, and are typical of people with limited scientific background. The air escapes from the tires at equal rates regardless of if the bike is ridden or not as shown in the partial derivatives below: [15 pages of ASCII impossible to read equations omitted. Theyve been omitted because some nerd will actually go through the equations and find some simple fact that ruins the whole theory.] After re-taking introductory psychology twice, I can safely say that this whole dilemma can be simply solved with Freudian theory. You see the bike ride represents sex, and pumping up the bike tires represents really outstanding sex. If you ride every day, theres no problem. If you take a couple weeks off, you need to pump up your tires. 12. Actually, all of you that responded so far have made an obvious but incorrect assumption: that tubes are filled with only air. Anyone whos purchased a new tube fresh out of the box is familiar with that wonderful "new tube smell". New tubes emit this smell profusely. If you assume that both the inner and outer surfaces of the tube emit (outgas) equal amounts of new tube smell, there must be a lot of this aroma confined within the tube. (Since everybody knows that smells dont penetrate rubber.) The heat generated by the friction of riding excites the rubber molecules to further outgassing, filling the tube even more. The more you ride the more new tube smell is released into the tube. Those of us that spend 24hrs/day on our bikes know for a fact that air does not needed to be added to tires, though occasionally you do have to bleed off a little of the odor or risk rupture. This is especially important prior to transporting your bike by air. As further evidence of this theory I submit that it is common knowledge that new tubes hold "air" better and longer than old tubes. This is due to their higher aromatic potential. 13. The reason this is especially important for air travel is that the prospect of a holiday/tour/meeting new bikes causes further excitement of the rubber, thus producing more of the aroma. This can lead to blowouts. 14. The reason that frequently ridden tubes hold air better is because the molecules of air inside the tube are pushed around in a high pressure environment. This produces an increased physical robustness that prevents them from escaping through the rubber pores as easily as their wimpy less exercised brethren. 15. Oxygen deficiency and pollution. As the oxygen is depleted and heavy molecules such as carbon dioxide and ozone (and metal residues from combustion byproducts) become more abundant in the atmosphere, the air in the tyres becomes relatively light by comparison and so rises to the top of the wheel leaving a flat spot at the bottom where the heavy gasses outside have pushed it in. When you then stop and pump it up by the roadside you are pumping in heavy gasses that will fill the flat spot at the bottom. It should of course be noted that when tyres go flat they are more susceptible to damage from bits of glass etc. so these will rapidly find their way into the tyre before you stop. And so the great search for truth goes on, with the most astute minds straining their abilities to establish beyond doubt the power of science and intellect in our lives!
