With the kids out of school and fam-ily vacations in the works, summer activities are shifting into high gear.

Of course, with this increase in activity comes an increased risk of sports-related in-jury - for kids and adults alike.

Besides the obvious issue of dealing with the summer heat, this season’s activities present numerous other risks for injury. Student athletes, for example, may go straight from school sports into summer leagues without a break. Grownups are at risk too, especially vacationers who try new sports,

like kayaking, to which their bodies are unaccustomed.

Fortunately, a little foresight is all you need to prevent most of these injuries from occurring. To help you and your family stay safe all summer long and into the school year, we asked four of Sugar Land Surgical Hospital’s top sports medicine specialists to share their advice.

Dr. Michael Kent: “Summer injuries usually center around vacations which may include activities that people aren’t accustomed to doing. Change or lack of

familiarity with an activity can increase the chance of injury, so exercise caution if you’ll be trying any new sports during your summer getaway.”

Dr. Matthew Mays: “One of the best ways to prevent injuries is simply staying active on a regular basis. Going straight from the couch to an intense activity makes both kids and adults more prone to injury - but when you keep yourself strong and active with regular workouts, your body is better prepared for the stress.”

Dr. Thomas Rivers: “During the summer, a lot of kids experience overuse injuries because they go straight from school sports into their summer leagues. The body needs a break, and summer is a good time to mix things up and try sports that are easier on the bones and joints, like swimming and cycling.”

Dr. Vishal Shah: “We see a lot of baseball injuries over the summer, and parents need to enforce safeguards with respect to monitoring pitch counts, ensuring adequate rest between throwing days and ensuring a yearly month of rest from throwing activities.”

For grownups as well as kids, summertime sports offer a great opportunity to enjoy exercise, fresh air and team camaraderie. And by keeping these specialists’ advice in mind, we can make sure that we all stay healthy and injury-free - all the way through the season.

At one time Pilates was thought to be a workout only for Hollywood elite and people with lots of

money. Pilates is no longer a fitness mys-tery. It’s something enjoyed by people of all walks of life. The benefits of Pilates include weight loss, improved strength and flexibility, pain relief and improved athletic performance.

Weight Loss: Losing weight doing Pilates is very different from a typical aerobics workout. Pilates is a style where you gain longer, leaner muscles that improve your posture, giving you more confidence and helping you look 10 pounds lighter. Since Pilates includes resistance training, you will gain muscle and lose fat.

Improved strength and flexibility: Pilates workouts are done in a slow controlled manner with a logical sequence that can be very intense. Pilates students strive to maintain control and

balance while transitioning from one position to the next. Moving in this manner helps to strengthen basic muscle groups while targeting smaller muscles that are typically ignored in traditional weight training. Pilates also increases flexibility.

Pain Relief: Many people endure daily pain, especially in the lower back. This pain is often caused from muscle imbalances. All Pilates exercises require engagement of your deep abdominal muscles commonly referred to as the core. Engaging the core will alleviate some of the stress on the lower back muscles and joints thereby alleviating lower back pain.

Improved athletic performance: With the improved flexibility and core strength offered from Pilates workouts, athletic performance is often improved.

Pilates exercises focus on centering the mind which can improve an athlete’s concentration during a stressful game.

Breathing is improved by increasing the amount of oxygen to the lungs which increases endurance.

Pilates is beneficial for all ages and fitness levels. Some of our clients include teenage athletes wanting to improve their game; pregnant women looking to maintain or improve their health and decrease the stress of labor and delivery; middle aged men and women wanting to get into better shape; and geriatric grandmothers with arthritis and knee replacements who want to improve their overall mobility and quality of life.

You can experience the benefits of Pilates close to home. Scoop Pilates and Personal Training is located on Highway 6 directly across from Sienna Plantation.

I have heard a lot about shingles recently. Do I need the shingles vaccine?

Shingles is a very painful skin condition that can last for weeks or months. It can affect various parts of the body including the face, and damage the eyes. If you had the

chicken pox as a child, your body harbors the virus that may one day turn into shingles.

I recommend all my patients over the age of 50 be vaccinated for shingles. Some patients may need to get vaccinated even sooner. As someone who experienced shingles in the past, had one been available I would have gladly

accepted the vaccination to avoid the misery of shingles. The vaccine is 95-97 percent effective.

People who have had the chicken pox vaccination will not need the shingles vaccine since the virus is not present in their bodies. Shingles is not contagious if you have had the chicken pox virus or vaccine.

The shingles vaccine may not be covered by your insurance. Talk to your physician about when to take the shingles shot. Do yourself a favor. Don’t hesitate, vaccinate.

Feline Leukemia Virus

Feline leukemia virus affects the feline species and does not pose a risk to other species or people. It

is a potentially fatal virus. Although feline leukemia virus is seen worldwide, the prevalence and propor-tion of cats infected depends upon the geographic location and the population of cats tested. In general, outdoor male cats between the ages of 1 to 6 years seem to be over represented, and in North America about 2% of cats are infected with the virus.

Needing a host to replicate within, environmental transmissions such as feces, urine, fomite and aerosol type transmissions are unlikely. The main forms of transmission are via prolonged contact with infected cat saliva and nasal secretions as well as grooming or sharing common water or food sources.

Once infected, the virus replicates in the oropharynx and disseminates throughout the body to the bone marrow. After dissemination, two types of infections can occur: persistent or progressive infections or latent infections. Whether or not infection occurs after exposure to the virus is determined by the virus strain, the virus dose, the age of the cat and the cat’s immune response to the virus. Some cats can mount an immune response against the virus and eliminate infection, however most cats will unfortunately develop some type of infection. Persistent infections eventually progress into clinical disease and clinical signs such as anorexia, weight loss and depression become apparent. Latent infections will become dormant and become clinically visible in times of stress or administration of glucocorticoids or other immunosuppressive drugs.

Although the development of cancers like lymphoma or leukemia can be the outcome of infection, not all cats infected with the virus will develop cancer. However, most infections will result in a moderate to severe suppression of the immune system leaving the pet less able to defend itself against a wide range of infections that would not normally cause a problem in healthy cats. These cats can progressively deteriorate in health over time making their quality of life very poor. Since there is no treatment against this virus itself, only symptomatic treatment can be given to cats that develop secondary infections to keep them comfortable.

Fortunately, there is a vaccine for feline leukemia virus and although it is not 100% protective it is very helpful in preventing infection and as a result controlling feline leukemia virus-related disease. Please visit your family veterinarian to discuss feline leukemia virus in more detail and see if this vaccine is right for your pet. .

require more. Jim Thornton, president of the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, recommends that an athlete in training get about an extra hour of sleep.

Sleep is the time that the body repairs itself. Early and late night practices, traveling to and from games, as well as the mental and physical stress of competing can make it difficult for athletes to get the sleep their bodies require which can lead to impaired performance.

Athletes who don’t get enough sleep are often less accurate and make poorer split-second decisions. Energy levels can be lower and healing times higher when compared to athletes who receive adequate sleep.

Going to bed and getting up at the same time every day can help one sleep. Avoiding or reducing alcohol and caffeine consumption also helps. Resist the temptation to take over-the-counter sleep aids. They can disturb the quality of your sleep and reduce the next day’s athletic performance. Try natural relaxation techniques like deep breathing or counting backwards from 100 to zero instead.

If you are concerned about your ability to get enough sleep, schedule an appointment with your family physician or sleep specialist. ■

We often achieve more in groups than we do as individuals. Lean In Circles, based on the book, Lean In, written by Facebook’s COO, Sheryl Sandberg, put this idea into practice. Lean In focused on encouraging women to pursue their ambitions, and changing the conversation from what we can’t do to what we can.

The Sienna Plantation Lean In Circle will focus on the challenges faced by female entrepreneurs in Fort Bend County. The belief is that if we talk openly and work together, we can

change the trajectory of our lives, build better businesses, and improve the community for everyone.

If you own a business (or want to), and are willing to commit to confidentiality, open and honest communication, and active participation, please become a member of our Circle. To receive an invitation to the Kick-Off meeting, held August 22, from 6:45 to 8:45 pm in the Large Conference Room at the Sienna Branch Library, email Denise Williams at communitynews@entouch.net. Place "Lean In invitation" in the subject line. Visit www.leanin.org for more information.
