BELO HORIZONTE， May 18 (Xinhua) -- Defender Maicon scored a decisive away goal as Sao Paulo defeated Atletico Mineiro to advance to the Copa Libertadores semifinals in their all-Brazilian clash on Wednesday.


Atletico quickly overturned the 1-0 deficit in last week's quarterfinal first leg with two goals in as many minutes at their Independencia stadium in Belo Horizonte.


Juan Cazares opened the scoring in the seventh minute when his shot deflected in off the legs of Sao Paulo goalkeeper Denis. Then Carlos Carvalho gave the hosts the lead by heading in a Douglas Santos cross.


But Maicon wrested back the advantage for Sao Paulo by nodding in from a corner with the match still only 15 minutes old. The header put the visitors in front under the away goals rule， which is applied when the scores are level on aggregate.


""Maybe we didn't play the prettiest football today but our determination helped us through，"" an elated Sao Paulo midfielder Paulo Henrique Ganso said after the match.


Sao Paulo are bidding for their fourth Copa Libertadores title and their first since 2005.


They will meet the winner of the quarterfinal between Mexico's Pumas UNAM and Ecuador's Independiente del Valle in the semifinals of Latin America's premier club competition.

" Anyone who is into running would certainly do anything in their power to have the ability to run faster and have the advantage on the track. Anyone who is into basketball would also definitely do anything they could to jump higher and have the advantage inside the court. Well Cheap Basketball Jerseys China , if you are familiar with compression clothing, you probably realize that these are the things manufacturers promise athletes who buy their products. But, the question is, can compression tights really help you jump higher and can compression clothes really help you run faster?

First, let's take a look at the claims of manufacturers regarding their products. If you observe ads about compression clothing today Cheap NBA Basketball Jerseys , you will notice phrases like "explosive power," "long-term endurance," and "increased stamina." According to manufacturers of compression gear, wearing compression shirts and tights can deliver graduated pressure on areas of your body where you wear them and improve circulation on that area, resulting to improved muscle performance.

While there is a degree of truth in these claims Cheap Basketball Jerseys , wearing compression clothing won't actually make you run faster as soon as you wear them. This can be proven by several studies done to test the efficiency of compression clothing. In a study done in Australia, a dozen volunteers were asked to run on treadmills wearing compression tights. Unsurprisingly, wearing compression tights did little to improve the endurance of the volunteers and neither of the runners were able to run further and at higher speeds.

A similar test was done at a university in India where more than twenty volunteers were divided into three groups. Each of the group was given a different type of compression shorts, but after the test, the researchers didn't find any benefit of wearing compression shorts in terms of the athletes' ability to jump. Again Cheap Authentic NBA Jerseys , no direct benefit of wearing compression gear found on this test.

One particular test, however, discovered something that the two previous tests did not. This particular study was done by researchers in New Zealand. In the study, cyclists were told to ride 40-kilometer time trials for two days. They did the test twice giving the volunteers a week to rest in between tests. The result was encouraging - the riders who wore compression tights went up to 1.2 percent faster on the second-day trials than those who didn't wear them. The conclusion was that wearing compression tights allowed greater recovery. According to the researchers, wearing compression tights helped increase blood flow Cheap Sports NBA Jerseys , resulting to faster recovery and refueling for the muscles of the riders who wore them.

Should you wear compression clothing then because of this encouraging news? It depends. If you're thinking of buying expensive sets of compression gear for your weekly basketball or running schedule, you would rather stick to low-priced compression gear.
