All we can hope for is to provide positive conditions for PTSD management
The most positive results have come from cognitive and mindfulness methods. However, they are compromised by intruding thoughts, hypervigilance and attention deficit
Compound movements performed in relatively isolated (“protected”) environments, heavy enough to require complete recruitment of cortical (motor cortex) and non-cortical (extra-pyramidal) CNS resources may “short-circuit” the automatic trauma response.
In other words, technique-oriented compound movement strength training may provide the necessary resources for trauma survivors to gain some control over their lives
Stress and Physical Activity was the first in the Ingear Fitness seminar series. It covers basic definitions of stress and how physical activity my help the body cope with the negative physiological responses to stress.
This project describes a sponsorship/partnership opportunity that provides the sponsoring company high digital media visibility for a peak period of three days and a tail period of around 14 months. The high visibility extrapolates that of the sport of powerlifting alone, given the influencers' reach and the strategies here adopted

Coaching your kCoaching your kid: how to manage being a parent and a coach idMarilia Coutinho
Coaching your own child is often hard enough for very experienced coaches to ask a friend to do it. That happens not only in the sports, but in the arts and in the sciences. There are many cases of extremely talented athletes, artists and scientists that were not trained by their parents.
For anyone looking from the outside, it is obvious that the parental example made an impact and determined the course of actions. But how many cases of resentful people we all know where a parent tried to impose his own profession or skill on his child and the result was pain and confusion? Why and how do some people succeed where others fail?
Here we asked some successful coaches to share the stories of how they managed the coach-parent double role.
It is considered that even harder than coaching a parent is coaching a spouse (a wife/husband, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc). Actually, hard enough to be considered a taboo question. A couple is ideally a partnership of two people, but a lot has been written about the many (some of which, unavoidable) conflict situations it develops. A few specialists and scholars claim competition is inevitable, although this is by no means consensus. Some level of dispute, though, will be there. Is it possible, within this context, to develop productive athletic coaching relations? If so, how?
We invited a few people who succeeded there to share their experience.
A few days ago I read a story about someone coaching their mother in powerlifting. And by powerlifting, here, I mean it lato sensu: including the basic movements of squatting, pushing and pulling in an exercise program is powerlifting for the purpose of this discussion.
So I decided to ask around and check who succeeded in this very hard task. Most coaches and even experienced athletes that tried it failed. It is an inherently hard task, since it implies in inverting the power relation. Mom wiped your ass and Dad helped you with your math homework. You are still a child to them even when you are old enough to be a parent. It is hard for them to accept instructions (orders) from their children, since in the great order of things, they are the ones giving you orders.
How do some people succeed? Is there a different mindset required from the parent-coachee-athlete? A different mindset from the son-daughter-coach?
Let us hear what some people who managed to coach their parents have to say
This project was devised as a means to collect experiences and comments from women involved in the strength sports. It is a short questionnaire (14 questions) exploring what it was like to be or become strong, the meaning of strength to the responder and the relationship with their social environment (family and friends and society at large).
One question is posted each week on social media and the answers are collected. None of the previous questions is deleted, so that they are always available for more comment. If anyone prefers to answer them all at once (and not in interactive form), they can just download the file and do it.
O esporte e a arte, de maneira geral, têm o potencial de empoderar jovens vulneráveis através de ferramentas para a construção de identidades, representações e auto-representações positivas, além de protegê-los de situações de risco.
In this article, I will give an overview of this literature according to one recent review (Renfro & Ebben 2006, which basically covers the most important articles in the field), point out evidence that may be useful for us, lifters, show a little of what has been the technological development of this equipment and offer some practical tips from the platform.

SISTEMA DE ASSOCIAÇÃO DE ATLETAS (“ATLETA-ASSOCIADO”) - FACULTATIVAMarilia Coutinho
A ANF desenvolveu um sistema para ASSOCIAÇÃO INDIVIDUAL DE ATLETAS, mediante o qual a pessoa passa a ser um ATLETA-ASSOCIADO, com direitos e privilégios conforme a categoria. A associação NÃO É OBRIGATÓRIA, consistindo de um sistema de benefícios e privilégios opcionais.
Todos os atletas continuam sendo bem-vindos e tratados com igualdade.
O sistema de associação faz parte da nova política de fortalecimento institucional da ANF e a verba arrecadada pelo pagamento da anuidade será utilizada para mantê-la filiada às federações internacionais e para suas despesas administrativas.
