The most satisfying aspect of the 2-0 series lead for India will be that they havent always had their best XI available. They have played only one of the three Tests with first-choice openers. They lost their No. 1 wicketkeeper after the second Test, and the leading fast bowler has been fighting a niggle through the series. When they went into a week-long break, thanks to an early finish to the Mohali Test, India had a dodgy M Vijay added back to the catalogue.Two days before the Mumbai Test, though, India took to training with fewer doubts than they had in Mohali. KL Rahul, who took a blow on the arm when fielding in Visakhapatnam, was back in the nets, taking the first hit. Vijay looked in a better space as he had a long net session too. While Mohammed Shami didnt train on Tuesday, India dont have a major concern over him right now. Indias coach Anil Kumble addressed a press conference before the start of their training session at Wankhede Stadium, but he was confident about Rahuls fitness. I am sure Rahul will have a hit today and will be fine, lets see how it goes, Kumble said.Kumble did speak about managing Shamis workload, though. Workload is something that we monitor, especially Shami, because he came back after 18 months after being away from the game, Kumble said. It is not easy for any cricketer so that is something we are constantly monitoring. It is quite a challenge when you only have a three-to-four day gap between Test matches. And this series has gone till the last day so it is important that these guys are given enough breaksCredit to the way Shami and Umesh [Yadav] have bowled, not just with the new ball but also the way they have been able to come back and bowl in the last hour of the day. Coming back in the third spell or probably sometimes the fourth spell, and rattling the batsmen and picking up wickets is something I am pleased about.If Shami is indeed rested, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took a five-for in his last Test, is not a bad replacement to be waiting in the wings. It is not just the two of them [Shami and Umesh] but Bhuvi, Ishant [Sharma], all of them have contributed significantly, Kumble said. To have someone like Bhuvi and Ishant sitting out is a credit to the way Umesh and Shami have bowled.Ishant wont be available for this Test because he is getting married on December 9. A sign of Indias confidence in Shamis fitness could be that they have not asked for a replacement for Ishant. In Mohali, India had four quicks in the squad because Shami was not a certain starter.The one compromise India will have to make is to go in without the first-choice wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, but his replacement Parthiv Patel more than made up for Sahas absence, especially by volunteering to open when Rahul aggravated his injury from Visakhapatnam. Kumble was all praise for his wicketkeeper for the Mumbai Test.He came in as a 16 or 17-year-old and now - when he still looks 16 without the beard - he has showed a lot of maturity, Kumble said. He saved the [Trent Bridge] Test match for India. It certainly shows that if you are really putting in the hard yards in domestic cricket, never losing your faith and believing that you can come back into the Indian team, then it is possible.I was really pleased that he could walk into the match and not just keep wicket and bat at six or seven but when he was asked to open, he put his hand up and did that really well. That goes to show not just the individual but the character of the player and to say - team comes above self. He was not worried about failing. When you are coming into the team, making a comeback after eight years, you always want to do well for yourself but here was Parthiv who was willing to put his hand up and said I dont mind opening. And he did that really well.If all goes to plan, India are set to make just the one change to the side that won in Mohali: Rahul coming in, Parthiv dropping down in the order, and Karun Nair being asked to wait for a longer run. India should continue with five bowlers because the pitch at Wankhede Stadium didnt look exceptionally dry although it is expected to turn eventually, as Indian pitches are.

From ninety-year-old marathon runners to forty-year-old Olympians, everywhere you look athletes are pushing the limits of human potential - at any age. By understanding the findings of science, you can learn why some people are aging less quickly and, more importantly, you can figure out how to turn back the clock on your own life. How Running Slows Down Aging The amazing truth that science has discovered is that endurance activities may slow down the aging process. To start with, there are the benefits that everyone knows about: a stronger heart, more efficient blood flow, a bolstered immune system, healthy eating habits and an overall positive outlook on life, all of which offset some of the negative effects of aging. It also appears that training is effective at any age. For example, one study found that when researchers organized an exercise intervention for an elderly, previously sedentary group, markers of mitochondrial function increased.(1) (Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles in your cells.) But thats only part of the story. The staggering part is that we now know that aerobic exercise can actually protect the genetic material in your cells. This genetic material – DNA – is what our cells use to replicate and stay healthy. This finding may send shockwaves all the way back to the middle ages and have alchemists dropping their quest for the Philosophers Stone in favour of heading out for a run. What the Research Tells Us Studies have discovered that when people engage in regular aerobic exercise they maintain telomere length. Telomeres are the protective caps on our DNA - think of them like the caps on your shoelaces that keep the laces from fraying. Since your DNA generates the proteins and machinery that make your body work effectively, keeping it working well is the key to keeping your body going, and that is exactly what endurance activities seem to do. One study found that sedentary people aged 55-72 had relatively short telomeres compared to sedentary 18-32 year olds. But when comparing people in the 55-72 age group who have exercised all their lives there was no significant difference in the length of the telomeres between younger people and older athletes.(2) Running literally keeps your DNA healthy! Along with benefits at the cellular level, research has shown that aerobic activity can protect you against many types of age-related disabilities. A twenty year study that compares runners and non-runners starting from age 50 determined that four hours of activity a week was enough to delay the onset of age related disabilities. By the 21st year of the study, the participants who were runners were down to 76 minutes per week but still reaping the rewards of running well into their nineties. The best news is that a new study with 400,000 participants has demonsstrated that as little as 15 minutes of activity per day (like a brisk walk) can decrease mortality by 14 per cent, which translates into a three-year longer life expectancy.dddddddddddd(3) How You Can Use Exercise to Resist Aging To get the anti-aging benefits of exercise, consider the following: 1. Establish and maintain a consistent exercise program that involves regular aerobic exercise2. It is important to add cross training to your program because it will improve your fitness but it will also help you avoid overuse injuries from focusing exclusively on running. Consider adding swimming, cycling, strength training or yoga to your routine.3. If you are person who has not exercised regularly in the past but is interested in taking up running, ensure that you increase mileage slowly so that your connective tissues and muscles have time to adjust to the new stress. Consider a learn-to-run program that will help you structure your training and teach you proper technique. Nutrition and Psychology In terms of nutrition, it is particularly important to make sure that your diet includes sufficient carbohydrates to fuel your exercise, protein for muscle growth, iron-rich foods to develop your oxygen transport potential, vitamin C to improve iron absorption and Omega-3 fatty acids which have benefits for your nervous system, brain and heart. Mentally, the long term benefits of running give new meaning the phrase "act your age." By shifting our mindset about exercise so that we all include regular fitness in our daily experience, we can offset the aging process and ensure that we are healthy and active late in life. Not to mention feeling better about ourselves week in and week out. If youre interested check out the great book "Spark" by Dr. John Ratay, which explores the impact of exercise on the brain.
