I'm not sure you can find the exact colorway as these pictured. But you should be able to find them on Nike.com if they still have them available. These are the Nike Air Swingman Remix.

Here's a link to a short video clip that takes jump roping and elevates the athletes' agility while also building the their fitness levels. (Obviously start with something safer like a taped frame of reference on the floor.) Great tip!

]]> Comment on USA Baseball Statement on Aluminum Bats by Rolando Ramirez http://www.carloalvarez.com/news_worthy/usa-baseball-statement-on-aluminum-bats/comment-page-1/#comment-94 Rolando Ramirez Mon, 04 May 2009 21:03:54 +0000 http://www.carloalvarez.com/?p=798#comment-94 I find USA Baseball's position to be a bit cavalier. Anyone who know baseball knows that metal bats have a trampoline effect that almost super charges the ball when hit right on the sweet spot of the bat. Watch a season's worth of high school baseball and see the number of home runs that are hit then watch those same kids play a season of Legion ball where they use wood bats; the difference is night and day. USA Baseball failed to note that the injury rate in NCAA games (17 injuries/93 teams) during their 2 year study was three times that of the summer league games (15 injuries/246 teams).

It is a group that supports "bat of choice" when it comes to selecting the type of baseball bat one uses in a Little League, recreational, high school, American Legion, or college baseball game. The implication that using today's non-wood/metal bat presents a safety issue has no validity. See the third-party research below: 1) Since 2003, metal bats used in high schools and colleges have been scientifically regulated so that the speed of the batted balls off metal bats is comparable to that of the best major league wood bat. This standard has been adopted by the NCAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations. 2.) Bats used at the Little League level are governed by the BPF Standard which dictates that the rebound effect of the batted ball off non-wood bats cannot exceed the rebound effect of the batted ball off a wood bat. These standards (both BESR and BPF) are presented to bat makers which they must follow. 3.) A 2007 study on the "Non-Wood vs. Wood Bats" by Illinois State University concluded that "there was no statistically significant evidence that non-wood bats result in an increased incidence of severity of injury." 4.) In April of 2002 (before the current standards were implemented), the US Consumer Product Safety Commission said there is “no information, nor is the Commission aware of any, indicating that injuries produced by balls batted with non-wood bats are more severe than those involving wood bats.” Since then, new regulations have been put in place to reduce the performance ability of bats even more.
