by Christopher Chavez, The Marquette Tribune.
A UCLA study last month found signs of a protein linked to football-related brain damage in the brain scans of five former NFL players. About three weeks earlier, Mike Nelson, Marquette’s cross country coach, tweeted about the dangers of football and made a minor splash among some members of the track and field community.
"Track & Field needs to become mandatory off-season conditioning for football. If you can’t run, jump, or throw then you can’t play football," Nelson tweeted. “As more research is done showing football is physically and mentally dangerous, the popularity of track will grow.”...

The FRoller is a new, freezable massage roller that is getting rave reviews. Formerly known as the “PolarBar”, The FRoller provides handheld, rolling ice compression without the mess of traditional ice massage, or the discomfort and timely commitment of full body ice baths. When used properly, The FRoller may be used to relieve common soreness and aches. It increases blood flow to sore muscles for quicker recovery time between workouts for enhanced muscle performance.
Features
The beveled, hollow plastic rollers of The FRoller are filled with non-toxic, freezable gel. For smaller freezers, one end of the grip can be removed. At room temperature, The FRoller continues to provide massage relief and increased blood flow to sore muscles.
Easy to Use
For best results, The FRoller should be placed in a freezer for at least 6 hours, and used immediately upon removal. Grip the handles firmly and roll The FRoller over sore areas in a back and forth pattern, repeating as needed to maximize cold relief. Apply more or less pressure as desired, depending on your comfort level. For more pressure, The FRoller can be placed on the floor and body weight used to apply pressure and massage as desired. For hard to reach muscles or additional pressure and angles, an athletic trainer or friend can use The FRoller on you.

The Freelap Timing System is an easy-to-use, fully automated timing system that is designed for a wide variety of training scenarios for track & field and other sports. At less than 1/3 the cost of comparable photocell timing systems, it’s extremely affordable. It’s also high quality – the precision watches and electronic components are made in Switzerland.
Versatile
The Freelap can be used to time fly-in sprints, splits, block starts, tempo runs, recovery times, laps, long and triple jump runway speed, football combine 10 and 40-yard dash, agility patterns, and more! Freelap Timing Systems are in use on the track, football and soccer fields, basketball courts, mountain bike paths, ski slopes, swimming pools, and hockey rinks.
Easy to Use & Portable
The Freelap can be set up in less than a minute. Simply turn on the transmitters and place them on the track or field and begin training. Coaches can set up a 30 meter fly-in sprint in the time it takes them to walk 30 meters. And, the Freelap components are small and lightweight – many configurations fit in a compact, sturdy case or cinch bag. Trainers and athletes can travel with their timing system and continue to train while on the road or at away meets.
Individual or Team Training
Freelap supports both the individual athlete and team training. Masters and elite athletes who coach themselves can accurately time every sprint of every practice. Coaches who train a team can collect data on all their athletes.
Time Multiple Athletes at Once
Unlike photocell timing systems, Freelap can time multiple athletes simultaneously by simply using individual watches and shared transmitters. For example, Freelap can time several sprinters performing fly-in 30 meter sprints on the inside lanes while timing mid-distance runners performing 200 meter tempo runs in the outside lanes. All of the components are mix and match; components can be purchased in kits or individually.
Components
The Freelap Stopwatch provides accurate, easy timing for track and field when used with the Freelap transmitters. It stores 765 splits and has a large, easy-to-read display. The stopwatch starts automatically when the athlete leaves the transmitter field and triggers automatically each time the athlete passes a transmitter.
The Freelap Sprint Belt securely holds the Freelap Stopwatch on the sprinter’s waist when extremely accurate timing is required for short sprints.
The Freelap TX Transmitter is a portable, battery-powered device that triggers the Freelap Stopwatch. A single transmitter can be used to time laps, or a single TX can be used in combination with the TX Touch. A pair of transmitters can be used to time short sprints.
The Freelap TX Touch Transmitter is designed for block starts and three-point football starts. The athlete places a thumb on the transmitter, and as the thumb comes off the transmitter, the watch is triggered. The TX Touch’s lithium battery is rated for 15,000 starts. It is accurate to 1/100 seconds and is water resistant.
EverythingTrackandField.com offers two economical Freelap Timing Systems. The Freelap Athlete Timing System includes the TX Touch Start, stopwatch/belt and one TX Transmitter. The Freelap Sprint 1 Coach System includes the TX Touch Start, stopwatch/belt, two TX transmitters and a carry case. Both systems include detailed instructions. Individual components are also available for purchase.
