what is it that makes your stomach flip before a track meet?

It's just nervous adrenaline.  Try not to think of it as a problem.  Be glad that you have the energy you need to compete.

The other day I was bowling and when I walked up to the line to throw my ball an old man next to me farted sooooo loud.  I could barely roll the ball and tried to keep from laughing.  It was a squealing one.

Reda,\n\nRunning can do nasty things to your body, despite the fact that it is a great exercise for the body and mind.\n\nDid you change your shoes recently?\nDid you do a sudden increase in intensity, terrain or distance?\nHow is your form?  If you are running straight (not leaning), that can cause back and stomach pain.

Well am a swimmer and have swam since i was little. I was always told to eat bananas, bagles, pasta, etc. All of those are good and help with your swimming. I knwo this isnt healthy but my coach always had me eat a choclate bar about 30 min before a race to give me energy, it helped alot!  Good Luck , oh by the way i would suggest not drinking pop the week before a swim meet or the day of one

i love track.  It's a great way to spend two hours after school, I especially like doing the field stuff... like javelin and discus.

Having been a runner (non-professional) for almost twenty years, your answer will be a definite no, but don't panic. The pains are caused by any number of things from dehydration to what and when you ate last. My suggestion would be to see a doctor who specializes in sports medicine. If its dehydration, you may be over-running your body's preparedness for the activity and the solution may be as simple as increasing your daily water intake. The doctor should be able to give a more detailed answer.

Drink a cup of non caffeinated tea (or warm milk if you don't have tea) and read a magazine article on something you enjoy (a hobby, or something else like that).\n\nIf that doesn't help, just psyche yourself up as to how well you are going to do.  You have practiced, you have trained, you have eaten well, you are prepared for you track meet.  You will do your best and you will win.  Its no big deal.  Just keep thinking that over and over and over.  Its what I do when I go for lifting heavy weights in the gym.  I psyche myself out and it helps.

I would eat a healthy lunch that may consist of a turkey sandwich on wheat bread, an energy drink, and a fruit like an apple.  Not too heavy, because you do not want to feel sick after the run/walk.  That has happened to me before...refrain from eating at least one hour before moderate/intense exercise otherwise you may experience stomach ache.  Be sure to drink fluids before and during the run/walk.  Have fun.

I think It's all in the way you move your head honestly turn your head and arms in one direction and the rest of your body will follow but you are right if you do it before you launch it can make you lose some air just cause your body is reacting to to much to soon and try to think about the landing afterwards not just the spin  and of course experiment with how your body reacts to diferent moves until it becomes fluid---well good luck---

Drink you a cup of black coffee or drink you a red bull. There is also this drink that comes in a small can called the shot. I promise your eyes and your energy level are gonna sky rocket. Be careful...too much of it will give you the shakes. And you're welcome

First, make sure you've got a spot when you are doing this.  My coach would make a noise (ex. Clap, or yell Twist or Now) when it was time for me to start turning.  I had the same problem you had for a long time! Make sure when you are twisting that your hips are twisting.  It can't just be an upper body motion. Make sure you throw your hips too.  Also, don't start looking for the ground too early.  If your head stops "looking" with the rotation, your body will stop rotating.  How are you throwing your arms to activate the full?  There are many many ways to do it, such as, when I started, I always kept my right arm straight in the air by my head, threw my left arm to my right hip, and turned my head into my right arm, so that I was basically looking through my armpit.  Some coaches want both arms thrown, so I did left arm to right hip, right arm to middle of my back, and head to the right. However your coach has you doing it, make sure that you are not unwrapping too soon.  If you unwrap your arms too soon, it will stop your rotation, just like if you stop looking with your head. Last thing.  Don't let your mind freak you out.  Yes, you are doing a full rotation while you are upside-down, but this is a huge accomplishment!  Don't think of the magnitude of the skill, think of the fact that you are doing so well! Good luck and let me know if you need anything else!

1) stomach cramps can be too much water prior to running...try not drink anything 2 hours prior to working out.  If it is a side cramp...you may be breathing incorrectly...chest breathing can cause a side stitch....one good excercise for diaphram breathing is to lay on your back and put a text book on your stomach...then breath for five minutes while moving the book up and down.  Its harder then you would imagine\n2) the best muscle building supplement on the market is creatine ...probably the only muscle supplement worth the money  Add creatine with whey protein is a good combo.\n3) running two miles either total or split up burns the same amount of calories, but running all two miles at a time can burn more fat as the longer duration of cardio will deplete the glycogen stores in your muscles and force your body to start turning fat into energy.I think the magic time is 30 minutes to really have the body start targeting fat
