¿Qué comer para entrenar en bicicleta y mejorar? | CicloMag.com - CicloMag.com
Cuando utilizamos las bicicletas, sea por cicloturismo, competencias de ciclismo, placer o -sencillamente- por transporte urbano, quien genera la propulsión somos nosotros, a través del uso de nuestros cuerpos. Si bien resulta obvio, es importante mencionar que nuestro cuerpo funciona -al igual que los automóviles- con combustible. La diferencia radica que a los automóviles se les suministra combustibles derivados del petróleo, mientras que a nosotros -los humanos- se nos debe suministrar comida. En otras palabras, una buena alimentación resulta indispensable para que logremos buenos rendimientos arriba de nuestra bicicleta. ¿Qué comer para entrenar en bicicleta? Antes de comenzar la sesión de entrenamiento en bicicleta deberás comer determinados alimentos, de modo tal que el cuerpo se prepare, cargue sus baterías, y se encuentre en condiciones de comenzar una actividad física del calibre de la bicicleta. ¡Debes comer durante el entrenamiento en bicicleta!
Diffusion of Innovation Theory
Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory, developed by E.M. Rogers in 1962, is one of the oldest social science theories. It originated in communication to explain how, over time, an idea or product gains momentum and diffuses (or spreads) through a specific population or social system. Adoption of a new idea, behavior, or product (i.e., "innovation") does not happen simultaneously in a social system; rather it is a process whereby some people are more apt to adopt the innovation than others. Innovators - These are people who want to be the first to try the innovation. The stages by which a person adopts an innovation, and whereby diffusion is accomplished, include awareness of the need for an innovation, decision to adopt (or reject) the innovation, initial use of the innovation to test it, and continued use of the innovation. There are several limitations of Diffusion of Innovation Theory, which include the following:

3 Ways to Better Manage Boomers and Millennials and Ensure Mentoring
As more and more Millennials graduate and enter the workforce – while Boomers begin to retire – HR professionals and employers seek to understand how to effectively manage both generations while ensuring a smooth knowledge transition. But with generational stereotypes, a modern workplace and a potential skills gap, effective management and mentorship can be a challenge. Craig Malloy, Cofounder and CEO of Lifesize Communications, recently guest wrote for Forbes and discussed the challenges and opportunities that come with managing Millennials and Boomers in the workplace. “Part of mentoring means letting go, and giving younger employees larger, more responsible roles in a project.” “Recognition gives [Millennials] the drive to contribute with passion and stop being so focused on themselves.” “Boomers: Remember your institutional knowledge, market experience and ability to spot a trend are fundamental to business success.” Understand Millennials better and improve your mentoring skills.

Instructional Tech Workshops: Find a Champion, Tell a Story
Inside Higher Ed has a post by Matt Reed “Workshops Don’t Work” that treads the familiar territory of low faculty turnout for workshops. However, is it that workshops do not work or is there a gap between what librarians and instructional tech coordinators think faculty want or should know, and what faculty really want? I’ll get back to Reed’s post in a moment, but for now I’m curious to hear how you plan your workshops? Do you conduct surveys? To get back to Reed’s post though, he talks about finding an early adopter and letting that person spread the message virally, or in pre-Internet speak, by word of mouth. Two examples from last year include teaching with teleconference and digital storytelling. Instead of hoping a faculty member will spread the word, instructional technologists can work with them to create workshops and tell the story. The last workshop I co-taught was with Dr. While finding a champion and telling their story helps, what works for you?
