  • Copper Inactivates the Virus that Causes COVID-19 in One Minute

    6a00d83453dfa869e20263e9543110200b-300wiProfessor C. W. Keevil of the University of Southampton is the senior author of a important paper on the rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on copper surfaces.  This paper reports that SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the current COVID-19 pandemic, is inactivated in as little as one minute by copper alloy C110 (99.90% Cu).  
     
    The paper that was published on January 2, 2021, in bioRxiv, a rapid publication service with only editor's approval.  This fast method of publishing was selected in order to communicate the ability of copper to quickly inactivate this virus in a timely manner.  Readers are encouraged to recommend that copper alloys be deployed in the fight against COVID-19.
     
    In addition, a new paper containing these findings and results will be submitted to another journal to undergo the more rigorous peer review process.
    Experts on copper and microbiology recommend the expanded use of copper alloys
    in public spaces to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and minimize future pandemics

    Notre Dame Football Strength Coach Matt Balis

    It's strength clinic time and there are several reasons to get to one. For one, I've never been to a clinic where I did not return home with something newly added to my coaching toolbox. Fresh content! For example:

    • Some new techniques and coaching points to use when coaching your athletes.
    • Or, another way to incorporate certain exercises or lifts into the scope of the training program.
    • Are my athletes too young to try that lift and will it require too much time and coaching to stir it into the entire training program?
    • Should our program be a three day per week workout or a four day split? What's Coach Brady Collins' philosophy at Cincinnati Bearcats?
    • Where should we place our Pit Shark® for optimal use?
    • What are the pros and cons of choosing a POWERLIFT rack as opposed to the Sorinex model?
    • How can I educate the entire coaching staff at our school so that we're on the same page?
    • What is Coach Kenn's purpose for coaching the athletic position?
    • IMG_4998Our players need more toughness! How does Coach Marotti instill this with his Buckeyes/
    • Yoga??? It's definitely a piece that needs to be incorporated into our program. How can we add this into our workouts? 
    • How does Coach Ken Mannie develop his Spartan "earned, never given" philosophy?
    • My star running back plays basketball AND baseball. Now what???
    • Our athletic director approved our new TRX TRAINING order. How does Coach Matusz choose which TRX exercise to use on a given day?
    • I never want to move those racks and machines again!!! Never again! What makes REGUPOL ® Sports Flooring by SPECATHLETIC the best?
    • How often does Coach Dave Lawson suggest that our players squat HEAVY?
    • What are the features that make TEAMBUILDR®, the premier online strength & conditioning software, a terrific concept for training evaluation, standard and goal setting & athlete performance tracking.
    • How did strength coach Dr.Ted Lambrinides prepare a young Kentucky Wildcats Basketball squad for their NCAA National Championship run in 2012, a team that include, now NBA superstar Anthony Davis?
    • Basketball is a long season, how does long time veteran strength coach Shaun Brown keep his West Virginia Mountaineers Basketball squad
