What I know about sports science
I have been a professional basketball player for 17 years. When I was in high school, I only practiced hard every day and never paid attention to other ways to improve my abilities. After joining a professional team, I gradually learned about sports science. But I only touched the surface. Even if there were relevant tests, I only paid a little attention to the red parts. When I could participate in training normally, I forgot about it in a blink of an eye. When I remembered it, I didn’t know where the data had gone.
Training loop based on feel
Sports science contains a lot of things, such as training, rest, recovery, consumption and replenishment. I am in this cycle day after day, but the way to track is my own feeling. Today I feel relaxed and my legs are strong. Tomorrow I feel heavy and not in good spirits. Looking back, I don’t know what the actual reason is. I can only eat better today and go to bed early at night, and tomorrow will be better.
Encounter with YOUNGER after retirement
In the eighth year after I retired as a player, I came across YOUNGER, from which I learned a lot of data that I had heard of but was not familiar with. From these data, I recalled the bottleneck stage of my playing days, how to break through my own limits when healthy, how to return to the court faster when injured, and how to recover faster to prepare for the next game during consecutive games. I had this idea because the platform interface of YOUNGER is very clear, and many data are technical terms. The completeness of the interface allows me to understand it quickly.
Unexpected health warnings
During the first blood test, I was full of expectations, wondering if my physical condition after 8 years of retirement was different from the average. As a result, I received a call from the team the next day, saying that one of the indicators exceeded the average by a lot, and asked me to go to the hospital immediately for further testing.
Although I felt well, the blood test report showed a red light. I am really grateful to YOUNGER for being attentive. Often when you go to the hospital for a check-up, you may have to wait until the next follow-up to find out that the condition is a red light, and you are even more attentive in the continuous follow-up.
The transformation from data to health management
When explaining the blood test report face to face, each seemingly brain-teaser term is explained and analyzed by YOUNGER experts. From the value of each blood data, the cause and effect relationship is analyzed. After such explanation, the term becomes 1+1=2. It is so simple and easy to understand the current condition of your body and to formulate a clear process for the next step of your health. When tracking blood data, health is so simple.
Data can help you understand life
Thanks again to YOUNGER for providing such a convenient platform. I hope more people can enjoy it together. Being healthy starts with data. If you have the right direction, your life will be in your own hands.
