Using Research in Sports Handicapping

August 30, 2019 chrismaddaloni Leave a comment

A seasoned human resources and staffing professional, Chris Maddaloni has owned and operated Hilton Head, South Carolina’s Atlantic Personnel for more than a decade. Outside of the professional arena, Chris Maddaloni is an avid sports fan who counts sports handicapping among his primary hobbies and interests.

Sports enthusiasts and gamblers alike have an interest in determining the odds for or against their favored teams or athletes during any given game or competition. Although many people simply trust their gut instincts when it comes to sports handicapping, wise sports handicappers will rely on sound research.

Because teams and individual athletes evolve constantly as they compete and each day of competition will change their overall performance statistics, it is vital to access the very latest data that exists on them. Although the specific areas of information of interest to sports handicappers will vary depending on the sports that they follow and the goals that they pursue, key data to consider include general team/athlete statistics, winning and losing streaks, recent and extended matchup history, home and away records, changes in coaching and game plans, and the quality of past refereeing.

Health Benefits of Hot Yoga

August 5, 2019 chrismaddaloni Leave a comment

A member of the Society for Human Resource Management, Chris Maddaloni founded employment staffing firm Atlantic Personnel, Inc., in 2009. Outside of his professional duties, Chris Maddaloni enjoys participating in hot yoga classes.

The temperature in hot yoga rooms can reach up to 105 degrees, and the humidity often ranges between 40 and 60 percent. Exercising in such a warm and humid environment can have significant health benefits.

The intense atmosphere can help practitioners focus on their bodies, including their breathing patterns. Deep and measured breathing triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the relaxation response, which lowers stress.

Heat has also been associated with lower blood pressure, which can protect heart health. The combination of heat and high-intensity yoga results in an effective calorie-burning workout. Health assessment firm HealthStatus estimates that a 90-minute hot yoga session can burn more than 400 calories.
