Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

Hi Cindy, I am so glad that you are still here, I am in the middle of some exams, and I am not sure yet, what can I do and what cannot from sport activities, and will I have a knee surgery or will I not.
I will post here for sure as soon as I find out something new.

18 September 2008: Finally decided to do a Magnetic Resonance Imaging of my left knee, after two years of pain. The test was real expensive, and the results are not so good, I have found out that I have a some meniscus and ligament problem in my left knee, so the doctor had forbidden every sport act...

Abnormal soreness in adductor muscles today, and the worst thing i think the third day after the trainig will be the worst, that is tomorrow. I really overdone it this time. I do not exaggerating but I really hardly can walk, I look like a 70 year old guy without his wheelchair on the street.

11.11.07 As I said my left knee pain has gone, and now I started to train for the side split again. I did dynamic leg raises this week, everything is fine, however I think that my posture is not right when I am doing side leg swings with my left leg. At hip level i kinda feel like the pain is activa...

Stopped all weight training, due to high blood pressure. Now doing just aerobic exercises, and every day deep, wide bodyweight squats, 3series, 30 repetitions, + cycling everyday 10 km's. Knee pain totally disappeared . Still afraid to start side split training, side leg raises cause that is what tr...

October 2007:
Started doing weighted deep squats, with 20/25 kg barbell.3 or 4 series 12 repetitions, every second day.My knee pain started diminishing slowly. I do not dare to try any side leg raises yet.

Sad to hear about your tendon tears. You re right, it is hard to walk with a smile on your face when your favorit sport is on hold. One of the worse thing is in life when you cannot do what you want and love to do. Anyway we need to cheer up, 4-6 weeks is not so much, you can do upper body exercises...

Is it ok for one healthy person the blood pressure to raise during sport activities, or should it stick always to 120/70?

pliskin, I am afraid you could be in big trouble this time. The tendon that connects the IT band to the bone is the problem, all right. Typical of tendon strain is that you feel fine once you are warmed up, but the pain returns like crazy when you cool down. Better let it heal. Stop working it for ...

Sorry pal, dont know much about this problem, i have issues with knees also but on the outside of the knee. Oh' what an irony

Hi elskbrev, I am so happy that you dedicated a whole day to write me a reply. :P I really appreciate it. I am so sorry that i did not specified that i have the pain only on the outside of my left knee, exactly where the itb is rubbing on the bone and a little bit lower so you had lost plenty of tim...

Damn! My left knee has started hurting me again. It started when i did dynamic stretches, leg raises to the side. It hurts only when i am training for a side split. I can do any other sport activities and it does not hurt but the side split training is triggering the pain. As soon as i raise my left...

I tryed this exercise a few days ago that Mr. Kurz demonstrates on this video http://www.stadion.com/videos/patellofemoral_hip_ext_rotation.wmv and i can say it kicks a**!!! I could hardly walk for next two days, guess i never used these muscles before in the right way. I do not know how but my hams...
