Olympiaden: Magin borta för Suleymanoglu: 17 september 2000

Han kom till Sydney som en av de sex stora. Dem med snudd på osannolika OS-guldsviter. Fast han bara mäter 150 cm i strumplästen och väger 62 kilo. Och kallas för ”Fick-Herkules”. Naim Suleymanoglu, 33, lyfte för sitt fjärde raka OS-guld i Sydney. Men magin var borta.

Misslyckad bantning:

Här är varianten som inte platsar i damtidningarnas bantarbilagor: Honungsmetoden. Australiske boxaren Bradley Hore smorde in sig med honung (:) och satte sig i bastun. Han gick inte ner i vikt. Men det luktade konstigt.

För Hore var bantarmissen dubbelt tragisk. Inte bara det att han blev kletig, han missade sin chans i OS också. Hore skulle boxas i 48-kilosklassen men hur han än bantade så kom han inte ner i mer än 49 kilo. Exklusive honung.

Den skulle få honom att svettas kraftigare var det tänkt, rent teoretisk alltså. Allt den besvikne mr Hore hade ätit 24 timmar före invägningen var en salladssmörgås som hans mamma gjort åt honom. (TT).

NBCOlympics: Who will be the strongest men on the planet?: 16 oktober 2000

"After spending a lot of time in the training hall the last week, I've seen some incredible lifting. I've seen several world records set and tied. It's funny how you get desensitized to huge lifts; every time you turn around, someone is snatching close to 400 lbs. and clean-and-jerking close to 500 lbs."

Which woman will wear the crown?:  16 oktober 2000

"If there were betting on the women’s weightlifting competition, I'm sure the strategy would be to bet on the Chinese! If there is a Chinese lifter in a class, you gotta put your money there. In fact, if the Chinese were able to enter a woman in each class, they could certainly win all of them - and perhaps even sweep the top three places in each class. That's how deep they are."

MyoDynamics: Bench Pressing Your Way to Great Hamstrings: 17 september 1997

Yahoo! Sports: Mutlu Repeats As Olympic Champion: 16 september 2000

"Pound-for-pound, Halil Mutlu of Turkey might be the world's best athlete. Nobody else so small can lift so much with so little effort.

Mutlu, undefeated and virtually unchallenged since 1995, repeated as an Olympic weightlifting champion Saturday by doing what he almost always does - winning by so much, the only real race was for second place."

Nerikes Allehanda: Idrott i skolan för bättre liv: 5 december 1999

"De flesta skriver under på att motion är bra för hälsan. Ändå är det få som motionerar. Varför? En viktig förklaring är genetisk. Sedan stenålderstider har vi lärt oss att hushålla med vår energi, en ren överlevnadsinstinkt som i dagens moderna data- och kontorsliv tyvärr får motsatt verkan."

"Den fjäderlätta sporten som blir lättare och lättare. Badmintonklubben, BK Oscar, framhärdar trots anonymitet och vikande medlemssiffror.

- Här tror jag de olika gymmen tagit en del med pump, spinning och allt vad det heter.

New Scientist: The fastest of them all: 9 september 2000

"Perfect sprinters require one thing - perfect legs. Arms hardly matter at all. The ideal sprinter has legs jam-packed with "fast twitch" muscle fibres, which contract quickly without waiting for oxygen to diffuse into the tissue. While only half of an average person's muscle fibres are fast twitch, Olympic sprinters commonly have 80 per cent. The stars of the future are going to need even more to beat this year's champions." (Via SciCentral)

MSU: MSU research show standards for measuring physical activity levels may not be accurate: 22 augusti 2000

"Allor and Pivarnik measured the energy output levels of 49 middle-school girls while the girls ran on a treadmill. It was determined that girls who reached a heart rate of 140 were using only 46 percent of their maximum energy output. Girls whose heart rate was 160 were using only about 63 percent of their maximum energy output.

"I would say the heart rate numbers we currently use are off by about 20 beats per minute," Pivarnik said. "The 160 heart beats a minute should probably be more toward the lower end. The traditional cut points for exercise levels need to be adjusted upward." (Via SciCentral)

Professor Colin Boreham and his team have found that bursts of short, intermittent exercise - like climbing a few flights of stairs - can lower cholesterol." (Via SciCentral)

Etter dopingtesten den 1. august har jeg begynt å bruke et tilskudd som heter Ribose, en form for karbohydrater. Produktet dble kjøpt på lanzarote, og som vanlig sjekket jeg varedeklarasjonen på produktet.

HealthCentral: Experts fear type 2 diabetes epidemic in US children: 8 september 2000

"Imagine that you are an overweight child who is diagnosed with a disease that will guarantee a premature death in middle age. Over the years, you might develop heart disease or kidney failure. Arterial disease may cost you your sight, or a limb.

Now, suppose that you could avoid these problems by replacing your favorite high-fat, sugary snacks with foods like apples, bananas and low-fat yogurt, and exercising regularly to maintain a normal weight.

This is a very real scenario for the increasing number of American children diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The rise in type 2 diabetes cases in young people has led experts to label the disease an emerging epidemic.

"Diet and exercise are keystones to treatment," Dr. Michael M. Engelgau, a medical epidemiologist with the CDC's division of diabetes, said. "In some cases, it may be all that's needed."

"This report considers the role that the media can play in shaping young people's attitudes to eating and body shape, and developing self-esteem in the young who are at the greatest risk of developing an eating disorder. 

The report considers whether the media play a significant role in the causation of eating disorders, where they can 'trigger' the illness in vulnerable individuals, by suggesting that being 'thin' means being successful, and how they affect young people who may have low self-esteem or unhealthy attitudes towards food. 

More positively, the media may be able to significantly contribute towards developing high self-esteem in young people, and actively participate in health promotion to combat the mistaken belief that "thin = healthy" and that 'dieting', rather than healthy eating and regular exercise, is the way to achieve a healthy weight."
