Badrul Hisyam runs 10.29 (+2.0) to break Watson's 10.30 National Record

Unheralded junior sprinter Badrul Hisyam Abdul Manap has produced a superb 10.29 (+2.0) run to set a new Malaysian National Record (NR) today (23 November 2015) at the 7th ASEAN School Games in Brunei.

Badrul was well ahead of teammate Asnawi Hashim who registered 10.71 in second, while Thailand's Worawut Salabal third in 10.87. Indonesia's Bakti Ladia Mukhtar in 4th (10.92, Vietnam's Ngan Ngoc Nghia in 5th (10.94), with another Indonesian Burhan Wardhani in 6th (10.97). Thai sprinter Teerawat Sithongnak in 7th (10.97), while a Vietnamese Hoang Mnh Cuong in 8th (11.03).

The 18-year-old who stands 5'3" has already run a wind-assisted time of 20.88 at 200m during a low-key meeting last month at Perlis, Northern part of Peninsular Malaysia.

Watson Nyambek held the previous NR (10.30) for 17 years since July 1998.

This performance will rank Badrul #19 on the IAAF World Junior ranking lists, and #3 on the Asian Junior ranking lists, merely behind Japan's Abdul Hakim Sani Brown (10.28) and Wataru Inuzuka (10.28).

In 1995, two Malaysian junior sprinters, Watson Nyambek and Azmi Ibrahim made it into World Junior Top 20 lists and both ranked #13 after producing an identical time of 10.38.

Does Cupping Therapy Improve Athletic Performance?

Various strategies have been used by top athletes to accelerate recovery from strenuous exercise or training. This includes the active warm up, water immersion (hot, cold, combination), massage, and light pool exercise. The least known, although been used quite often in Asia is "cupping therapy".

This method is gaining its popularity and top athletes are seen using it, and we have observed it even at the Olympic level (i.e. Beijing 2008 and London 2012).

Apparently, it creates a huge space or gap in the sphere of science and mechanism as research investigating the efficacy of cupping therapy as recovery modality are scarce.

Mehta and Dhapte (2015). Cupping therapy: A prudent remedy for a plethora of medical ailments
Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, In Press.

Asian athletes or population, in general, have been using cupping therapy for improving the body functions, which could lead to an improved physical or sports performance, just like other recovery strategies.

Not like the acupuncture treatment, cupping therapy leaves "red mark" on the affected area which is caused by the vacuum formed from the cupping (bottle).

During the treatment, it pulls the air out of the cup which subsequently pulls the skin and tissue muscles upward (see photo). This elevates the blood circulation due to the formation of the blood vessel as a result of the pressure being created during the process. This could also lead to an increased supply of oxygen and nutrition to the area.

It is interesting to explore the physiological effects and mechanism underpinning the effective healing or recovery associated with cupping therapy.

In high-performance sports, little (marginal) gains mean winner or loser, in other words, gold or silver. After all the hard work and dedication, every athlete is seeking the edge to generate advantages.

Cupping therapy is not a non-science strategy for enhancing performance (via recovery), what we could do now is to consider formulating a hypothesis and then try to research it.

Effects of tapering on power-force-velocity profiling and jump performance

Tapering phase (reduction in training load) can be incorporated into a long (i.e. ~4 months) pre-season phase. This can be done by suddenly reducing training volume towards the end of pre-season (last 3 weeks, step taper, not progressive), but intensity must remain high. To apply the concept, if the typical gym session in a week is 4 with a duration of 60-min each, only 1 session with a reduced duration (45-min) is needed during the taper. This is a reduction of ~75% of total gym training session. As for the non-gym sessions, they should be maintained as the pre-taper levels. This approach might be helpful for optimizing recovery and increasing muscular readiness leading to in-season phase.
