Warringtons Kurt Gidley is confident that his side are well placed to challenge St Helens in Fridays Super League clash, live on Sky Sports.Reeling from back-to-back defeats at the hands of Wakefield and Castleford in recent weeks, the Wolves struck back with a nine-try demolition of reigning champions Leeds Rhinos on Friday evening, a step in the right direction for Gidley and his team ahead of their trip to Langtree Park to take on fifth placed St Helens.We got four guys back from injury which certainly helps with attacking, defending and confidence as a team, said Gidley. We did some analysis early in the week and then we defended a lot better on Friday night against Leeds than probably the previous two weeks. Former Knights captain Gidley won 12 caps for the Kangaroos before his move to Warrington So theres much more of a spring in our step this week and St Helens actually beat us last time at home, which is something that happened pretty recently, so weve a chance to get them at their home ground this week.The 33-year-old contributed 20 points, a try and eight conversions in the victory over the Rhinos, but despite the strong performance of his team just seven days ago, Gidley is all too aware of the threat of the Saints, Warrington having fallen short against Kieran Cunninghams men in a 22-25 defeat back in April.Im not sure if Luke Walsh is playing but their halves last time dominated the game for them added Gidley. Theo Fages and Luke Walsh controlled the game really well last time that we played them and we actually scored more tries but we let in way too many points in the end and they beat us at home.So, I remember from that night we werent quite on defensively and our kicking game was off and the combination of those two things meant that we lost the game in the end. Gidley has quickly settled into his first season of Super League rugby, since his move from the NRL and Newcastle Knights and is keen to continue the positive start made with the Wolves.Ive always watched the Super League since I was a young kid and certainly the test teams against the Kangaroos. My brother played over at St Helens for four years so Ive been watching the Super League for a fair while now and always aspired to come over and challenge myself, he said.This is the right time to do that in my career and Im really enjoying the new challenge. There have certainly been some tough games and Im enjoying my decision to come over and play for Warrington - its been great so far hopefully we can continue to grow as a team and have plenty more good times ahead.Also See:PODCAST: Barrie v TerrySky Live: Saints v WarringtonHave your say on RL rulesWATCH: SL round 17 previewBrand Shoes Cheap Online .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach.

From ninety-year-old marathon runners to forty-year-old Olympians, everywhere you look athletes are pushing the limits of human potential - at any age. By understanding the findings of science, you can learn why some people are aging less quickly and, more importantly, you can figure out how to turn back the clock on your own life. How Running Slows Down Aging The amazing truth that science has discovered is that endurance activities may slow down the aging process. To start with, there are the benefits that everyone knows about: a stronger heart, more efficient blood flow, a bolstered immune system, healthy eating habits and an overall positive outlook on life, all of which offset some of the negative effects of aging. It also appears that training is effective at any age. For example, one study found that when researchers organized an exercise intervention for an elderly, previously sedentary group, markers of mitochondrial function increased.(1) (Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles in your cells.) But thats only part of the story. The staggering part is that we now know that aerobic exercise can actually protect the genetic material in your cells. This genetic material – DNA – is what our cells use to replicate and stay healthy. This finding may send shockwaves all the way back to the middle ages and have alchemists dropping their quest for the Philosophers Stone in favour of heading out for a run. What the Research Tells Us Studies have discovered that when people engage in regular aerobic exercise they maintain telomere length. Telomeres are the protective caps on our DNA - think of them like the caps on your shoelaces that keep the laces from fraying. Since your DNA generates the proteins and machinery that make your body work effectively, keeping it working well is the key to keeping your body going, and that is exactly what endurance activities seem to do. One study found that sedentary people aged 55-72 had relatively short telomeres compared to sedentary 18-32 year olds. But when comparing people in the 55-72 age group who have exercised all their lives there was no significant difference in the length of the telomeres between younger people and older athletes.(2) Running literally keeps your DNA healthy! Along with benefits at the cellular level, research has shown that aerobic activity can protect you against many types of age-related disabilities. A twenty year study that compares runners and non-runners starting from age 50 determined that four hours of activity a week was enough to delay the onset of age related disabilities. By the 21st year of the study, the participants who were runners were down to 76 minutes per week but still reaping the rewards of running well into their nineties. The best news is that a new study with 400,000 participants has demonsstrated that as little as 15 minutes of activity per day (like a brisk walk) can decrease mortality by 14 per cent, which translates into a three-year longer life expectancy.dddddddddddd(3) How You Can Use Exercise to Resist Aging To get the anti-aging benefits of exercise, consider the following: 1. Establish and maintain a consistent exercise program that involves regular aerobic exercise2. It is important to add cross training to your program because it will improve your fitness but it will also help you avoid overuse injuries from focusing exclusively on running. Consider adding swimming, cycling, strength training or yoga to your routine.3. If you are person who has not exercised regularly in the past but is interested in taking up running, ensure that you increase mileage slowly so that your connective tissues and muscles have time to adjust to the new stress. Consider a learn-to-run program that will help you structure your training and teach you proper technique. Nutrition and Psychology In terms of nutrition, it is particularly important to make sure that your diet includes sufficient carbohydrates to fuel your exercise, protein for muscle growth, iron-rich foods to develop your oxygen transport potential, vitamin C to improve iron absorption and Omega-3 fatty acids which have benefits for your nervous system, brain and heart. Mentally, the long term benefits of running give new meaning the phrase "act your age." By shifting our mindset about exercise so that we all include regular fitness in our daily experience, we can offset the aging process and ensure that we are healthy and active late in life. Not to mention feeling better about ourselves week in and week out. If youre interested check out the great book "Spark" by Dr. John Ratay, which explores the impact of exercise on the brain.
