UST FOOTBALL VARSITY (WOMEN)
ABOUT
While the modern game of football started with the foundation of the Football Association of England in 1863, its roots extend to opposite ends of the earth. The ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans played a similar game, long before English kings in the 1300s and 1400s were trying to outlaw the violent sport.
While professionals are allowed in the men’s tournament, rules restrict teams to players under 23 years old with the exception of three over-age players. ’No age restrictions apply for the women’s tournament. For the Beijing 2008 Games the number of women’s teams has been increased to 12. The men’s tournament is set at 16 teams.

Fellowship with the Triathlon President
Col Dante Buerano PA (MNSA) sportsman,
Tom T. Carrasco Jr., ITU Treasurer, ASTC Senior Vice President, SEATA Founding President,
TRAP President, and Dr. Edgar Santos D.M.D. (Sport's Dentistry) taken at Intramuros Restaurant. 08.06.09About Triathlon
The first triathlon was held on Fiesta Island, California, USA in 1974 as the San Diego University Track Club ventured into new forms of instilling interest in their training programme while inventing “cross-over training” at the same time. As the ultimate endurance test, triathlon requires athletes to excel at the three “classic sports” of swimming, cycling and running. The sport requires intense training and discipline at the elite level; many people participate in triathlons because it fits in with a healthy lifestyle. They’re able to train while still pursuing careers and families. Triathlon made its Olympic debut at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney after it was awarded full medal status six years earlier at the IOC congress in Paris. The international popularity of triathlon really started to grow after its inclusion on the Olympic programme. By 2003, ITU’s World Cup circuit expanded to 18 races in 14 different countries
COMPETITION
Triathlon races are held over four distances Sprint, Olympic, Double Olympic and Triple Olympic. The Olympic triathlon comprises a 1.5km swim, a 40km bike ride, and a 10km run. After a mass start, the race remains continuous, with no stop between the three legs. Transitions are vital to race strategy. Women typically finish in approximately two hours, while the top men usually finish in about 1 hour 50 minutes.
Properly fitted mouthguards should be the
standard equipment.
I offer an unrivaled level of support to teams or sporting groups who require bulk numbers of mouthguards. And will travel to any destination on a given day or night (ex. a night time training session) and will take impressions from a panel of players. The complete set of mouthguards will be ready for delivery within one week.

Muaythai History
Muaythai is the devastating "science of 8 limbs" from Thailand developed over 1000's of years. The exact date of the creation of this fighting art is not known but it is widely believed to be over 2000 years old. Many other martial arts are believed to be this ancient though many of them were only created in the last 100 years (Aikido, Taekwondo, Karate).
Muaythai used to be referred to as Pahuyuth (multi-faceted fighting style) a couple of hundred years ago, but muaythai itself is only a part of the whole Thai fighting system that covers weapons and groundwork which many refer to as Ling-Lom, though this is not the correct name for it. Many people do not know about this "no holds barred" of muaythai and there are very few people that can teach it.
Anyone who participates in a sport with a risk of contact to the face should wear a mouthguard.

ADA Positions & Statements Statement on Athletic Mouthguards
ADA Council on Scientific Affairs
The Councils recognize that dental injuries are common in collision or contact sports and recreational activities.1 Numerous surveys of sports-related dental injuries have documented that participants of all ages, genders and skill levels are at risk of sustaining dental injuries in sporting activities, including organized and unorganized sports at both recreational and competitive levels.1-3 While collision and contact sports, such as boxing, have inherent injury risks, dental injuries are also prevalent in non-contact activities and exercises, such as gymnastics and skating.1,3,4
The Councils promote the importance of safety in maintaining oral health and the use of a properly fitted mouthguard as the best available protective device for reducing the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries. The Councils are committed to oral health promotion and injury prevention for sports participants.
Surveillance studies of mouthguard users and nonusers have consistently shown that mouthguards offer significant protection against sports-related injuries to the teeth and soft tissues. Mouthguards provide a resilient, protective surface to distribute and dissipate forces on impact, thereby minimizing the severity of traumatic injury to the hard or soft tissues.
According to a 2007 meta-analysis of studies evaluating the effectiveness of mouthguards in reducing injuries, the overall injury risk was found to be 1.6-1.9 times greater when a mouthguard was not worn, relative to when mouthguards were used during athletic activity.2 Another study of collegiate basketball teams found that athletes wearing custom-made mouthguards sustained significantly fewer dental injuries than those who did not.5
For sporting activities that are inherently contact-oriented (e.g., football), orofacial protectors or faceguards are also appropriate for added safety and protection. The ADA has endorsed the preventive value of orofacial protectors, including helmets, faceguards and mouth protectors, for use by participants in sporting and recreational activities with some degree of injury risk and at all levels of competition.6
Dentists are encouraged to ask patients if they participate in team sports or other activities with risks of injury to the teeth, jaw and oral soft tissues (mouth, lip, tongue, or inner lining of the cheeks). The Councils recommend that people of all ages use a properly fitted mouthguard in any sporting or recreational activity that may pose a risk of injury. The Councils also recommend educating patients about mouthguards and orofacial injury risks, including appropriate guidance on mouthguard types, their protective properties, costs and benefits.6
The key educational message is that the best mouthguard is one that is utilized during sport activities. While custom mouthguards are considered by many to be the most protective option, other mouthguards can be effective if they fit well, are worn properly and stay in place.
Further research is encouraged to strengthen the evidence base addressing the effectiveness of available mouthguard types and intervention programs for reducing the incidence and severity of dental injuries. The Councils will continue to monitor developments in this field to keep its recommendations consistent with current scientific information.

Professional Grade Mouthguard (Custom Fitted)
Three kinds of mouth guards.
Depending on design and material used, they vary in fit, rate of protection, ease of maintenance, longevity, and cost.
• Ready made or stock mouth guards. These are usually found and sold in sporting goods store and are usually a "one size fits all" mouth guard. These mouth guards are the least expensive but they also offer the least protection because of their poor fit. They are usually made of rubber or polyvinyl material. The most they do is provide a false sense of security.
• Boil and bite mouth guards. Also sold insporting goods stores. They usually come in a u-shaped mass of thermo-plastic material that becomes soft when placed in hot water. When soften, the user places them in their mouths and they bite their teeth together to form the mouth guard, thus the name "boil and bite". These mouth guards provide minimum protection because of the dramatic decrease in thickness when the athlete bites into it during its softened state. At the very most they are slightly better than the stock mouth guards as they fit a little better. They are usually bulky and cumbersome, they also interfere with the breathing and speaking ability of the user. However:
1. Biting too hard into the softened Boil & Bite can cause thin spots or holes, as a result of biting through the material.(Poor Fit).
2. Biting into the single layer Boil & Bite does not offer total tooth coverage. (Inadequate Protection).
3. Biting into the “one size fits all” Boil & Bite can distort the guard and interfere with the tongue. (Restricted Breathing and Speech).
The ADA and Standards Australia do not recommend over the counter boil and bite mouthguards. They are poorly fitting and less comfortable to wear because they have not been specifically fitted to the shape of your mouthand teeth. This greatly lessens their effectiveness.
• Custom Fitted Mouthguards: Professional-grade mouth guards by a dentist. Although it cost more than all other mouth guards, these are the best because they are made from a dental impression taken by a dentist. It offer superior fit and they provide the best protection and unrestricted comfort as they are tailored to the demands of the athlete and the sport The Custom Made Mouthguard is: Heat and pressure formed over a model of the athlete’s teeth, providing Superior Fit. You no longer have to clench your teeth to keep the mouthguard in place. Streamline Designed for minimal tongue interference, allowing for Unrestricted Breathing and Clear Speech. It reduce the likelihood of Chipping, breaking, loss of teeth Neck and jaw injuries Laceration of the tongue, lips, and cheeks Concussion.
VALUE
Custom Fit Mouthguards cost more than Boil & Bites because they are WORTH MORE. When one considers that, “a great number of dental sports injuries result in lifetime dental costs It is surprising that coaches and parents are not more aware of the considerable benefits of Custom Fit Mouth guards To prevent injuries, a Custom Fitted Professional-grade Mouth guard is a MUST !!!How do I clean my mouthguard?
Mouthguards need to be rinsed in cold water after use, dried and stored in a plastic container. Mouthguards can distort under higher temperatures, so they should be kept
in a cool place.
Anyone who participates in a sport with a risk of contact to the face should wear a mouthguard.
I offer an unrivaled level of support to teams or sporting groups who require bulk numbers of mouthguards. And will travel to any destination on a given day or night (ex. a night time training session) and will take impressions from a panel of players. The complete set of mouthguards will be ready for delivery within one week.
