Broccoli juice is emerging as the latest trend in the cycling community. The Swedish brand Nomio has taken the lead by being the first to develop and market this innovative supplement.  Recently, Nomio teamed up with prominent cyclist Mads Pedersen.

Claims about broccoli juice indicate that it helps reduce oxidative stress, allowing athletes to train at higher intensities and aiding in faster recovery. According to Nomio, Pedersen has reported an impressive increase of 15 to 20 watts across all power zones after just one shot of broccoli juice.

Are kipping handstand push-ups safe?

Imagine sinking into some bubbles looking out across an azure sea, or enjoying a soak with a chilled glass of champagne over a cityscape.

Interestingly, a 2023 study on broccoli juice indicated that it lowers lactate acid production and enhances physiological adaptations from training. While further research is warranted, the potential benefits of broccoli juice for endurance athletes look quite promising.

The kipping handstand push-up is a popular exercise, particularly among the CrossFit community, but its safety has come under scrutiny. A recent study investigated the forces that the kipping handstand push-up exerts on the head and neck, comparing these forces to thresholds that could potentially harm the cervical spine.

In the study, 16 participants performed three sets of kipping handstand push-ups with a force plate positioned under their heads. The results revealed that the forces generated during the exercise were within safe limits for the cervical spines of young males. However, these forces exceeded the safety threshold for females. Interestingly, the research also indicated a strong correlation between the degree of neck extension during the push-up and the pain reported afterwards.
