It is getting cooler outside, and it is finally sweatshirt weather! This is an important and friendly reminder that wearing sunscreen is crucial even on cloudy days as we go into midterm season to finish out the Fall semester. All daytime visitors to the SRWC Aquatics Center should be wearing sunscreen! Did you know that a study by the National Library of Medicine (NIH) shows up to 80% of ultraviolet rays can penetrate even through cloud coverage? In another study conducted by NIH, UV rays can cause long-term skin damage, including premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer, regardless of the weather.

Flexibility and mobility go hand in hand. The more flexible you are, the greater mobility you can achieve. For that reason, it is important to train for flexibility to increase mobility and achieve a greater overall range of motion in your workouts. You may ask, “What is the difference between flexibility and mobility?” What differentiates flexibility from mobility is that flexibility focuses on the ability of the muscle to stretch as far as possible. Mobility is restricted by limited muscle flexibility, which prevents complete joint articulation.
