work experience@sports academy

i have started work experience at the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS).

QAS provides elite athletes with expert coaching and cutting-edge support services.
The academy will also be the only state-sponsored Centre of Excellence for Applied Sport Science Research.

QAS has now re-located from South Brisbance to Nathan (old ANZ [QEII] stadium) with bigger and better facilities.

i look forward to challenge myself here.

HR rhythm monitoring

Dr. Ary Goldberger, a heart researcher in Harvard Uni, who has found

the idea may be used to monitor athletes' HR leading to diagnose overtraining.

nothing special in this review and similar to review papers such as this and this.

we need a breakthrough paper which can lead to a new paradigm in the field of overtraining.
