Earth day is celebrated on April 22nd but it is not a one-day celebration for our students, it is more than that. Earth is the home to humans, animals, and all living beings. Our communities, our resources, our homes, and our people are on this earth, and for that we are thankful. On this special date, we all should give a moment to appreciate and be grateful for what this planet is giving us. Protecting this planet should be one of our main purposes, protecting our home.

What does altitude training do for tennis players?

THE METABOLIC WINDOW

During the post-exercise period of time, the body is extremely receptive to the absorption of nutrients, due to the influence of insulin in the body.
