NBA Record: Dwight Howard’s 39.5″ Vertical Jump Set Record Reach of 12’6″



VIDEO: Dwight Howard stopped by the ESPN Sport Science lab to prove he’s the NBA player with the highest documented reach — wired with pressure distribution and forces sensors in his shoes applied by Dr. Cynthia Bir (Wayne State University).

Prior to the test jump, the highest documented NBA vertical reach is held by Shaquille O’Neal at 12’5″. Howard was outfitted with pressure distribution and forces sensors in his shoes.

Dwight Howard, with a standing reach of 9’2.5″, was suspected of beating O’Neal’s record during a dunk contest when he stuck a large sticker on the backboard. However, the sticker was a large size that could have misrepresented the height measurement. Howard would need a 39″ vertical jump to break O’Neal’s record.

About Athletics


‘A’ is for ATHLETICS. Athletics in the United States is a term encompassing the human competitive sports and games requiring physical skill, and the systems of training that prepare athletes for competition performance. Athletic sports or contests, are competitions which are primarily based on human, physical competition, demanding the qualities of stamina, fitness, and skill.

Non-athletic sports include motorsports (racing vehicles), precision sport (golf, bowling), and animal sports (horse racing). While not considered athletic sports, athletic and physical fitness training are important factors in wellness and performance of race car drivers, golfers, bowlers, and jockeys, etc.

In Great Britain and in the spirit of the Olympics going back to the Ancient Olympic Games, athletics is an exclusive collection of sports that involve competitive running, jumping, throwing, and walking — including track and field, road running, cross country running, and race walking.

The simplicity of the competitions, and the lack of a need for expensive equipment, makes athletics in the Olympic sense, among the most commonly competed sports in the world.

About Fitness Centers


[Updated on Saturday November 05 2011]

Information about fitness centers of all sizes and organizational structure.

Fitness centers are also known as athletic clubs, fitness clubs, gyms, health clubs, personal training studios, and workout centers.

Fitness centers range in size from as little as about 800 square feet to over 100,000 square feet.

Smaller fitness centers are often personal training studios that focus on functional training, while large fitness centers offer specific areas and features that include cardio training machines, free weight equipment, selectorized progressive resistance exercise machines, Pilates, group exercise studios, flexibility and stretching areas, multi-use gym floors (basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc.), swimming pool and locker rooms.

Larger fitness centers often include additional features and amenities, such as a pro shop, restaurant, massage therapist, physical therapy/sports medicine department, meeting room, personal training studio within the fitness center, whirlpool, sauna, steamroom, and family locker rooms and private locker rooms.

Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF2) Significantly Enhances Memory Retention and Prevents Forgetting in Rats


Scientists at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine Department of Neuroscience report that, in rats, the administration of insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II, also known as IGF2) significantly enhances memory retention and prevents forgetting.

Inhibitory avoidance learning (shocking the rat when walked into a dark area of their cage) leads to an increase in hippocampal expression of IGF-II, which requires the transcription factor CCAAT enhancer binding protein β and is essential for memory consolidation.

Furthermore, injections of recombinant IGF-II into the hippocampus after either training or memory retrieval significantly enhance memory retention and prevent forgetting. To be effective, IGF-II needs to be administered within a sensitive period of memory consolidation.

IGF-II-dependent memory enhancement requires IGF-II receptors, new protein synthesis, the function of activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated protein and glycogen-synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). Moreover, it correlates with a significant activation of synaptic GSK3β and increased expression of GluR1 (also known as GRIA1) α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxasolepropionic acid receptor subunits. In hippocampal slices, IGF-II promotes IGF-II receptor-dependent, persistent long-term potentiation after weak synaptic stimulation. Thus, IGF-II may represent a novel target for cognitive enhancement therapies.

There are other Insulin-Like Growth Factors …
The IGF “axis” is also commonly referred to as the Growth Hormone/IGF1 Axis. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is mainly secreted by the liver as a result of stimulation by growth hormone (GH). IGF-1 is important for both the regulation of normal physiology, as well as a number of pathological states, including cancer. The IGF axis has been shown to play roles in the promotion of cell proliferation and the inhibition of cell death (apoptosis).

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-2) is thought to be a primary growth factor required for early development while IGF-1 expression is required for achieving maximal growth. Gene knockout studies in mice have confirmed this, though other animals are likely to regulate the expression of these genes in distinct ways. While IGF-2 may be primarily fetal in action it is also essential for development and function of organs such as the brain, liver and kidney.
