Göteborgs-Posten: Ekonomism på gym?: 8 oktober 2000

"Samtidens verkliga behållning är i stället Gunn Engelstruds artikel om den nutida gymkulturen. Vilka funktioner fyller egentligen den fysiska träning allt fler börjat underkasta sig?

Engelstrud menar bland annat att övergången från frisksportande (springa i skogen, gå på tur etc) till motion på gym signalerar att ingen er villige til å foreta seg noe i dag, dersom det ikke inngår i en kontinuerlig resultat- og kvalitetsproduksjon.

Kort sagt att gymkulturen innebär att en i grunden ekonomistisk prestationskultur koloniserar även vår privata sfär. Vårt välbefinnande underkastas numera en strikt produktionskontroll: den egna minskade vikten jämförs med den ökade vikten på skivstängerna.

Det är en fascinerande tanke och jag vill gärna läsa mer, för att med tungt huvud sedan gå till min egen träningslokal. Visserligen mår jag fysiskt bra av att lyfta skrot, men kanske är det ideologiskt förkastligt."

Netdoktor.no: Unngå havregryn:

"Norske forskere advarer nå mot å spise havregryn daglig. Norsk havre er utsatt for en giftig sopp som kan gi alvorlige bivirkninger, som svekkelse av immunforsvaret eller kreft. Soppen forsvinner ikke ved oppvarming, og det hjelper derfor ikke å koke for eksempel havregrøt." (Stavanger Aftenblad, 6. oktober, seksjon 3, s. 33, NTB)

Stavanger Aftenblad: Mariann og Ib søker det perfekte: 26 september 2000

"Solbrune, sterke kropper. Muskler. Mye muskler og minimalt med tøy. Det er tid for Fitness Atlethic."

The Cable/Bar Guy: Windmills Illustrated:

Du utför väl väderkvarnar som en del i din träning?

"I do the windmills on a flat bench with dumbells (works like a swimming back stroke). I injured my shoulder so badly 4 years ago that I stopped doing full snatches and have done only power snatches since then. The windmills have helped me rebuild/maintain my shoulders.

If you haven't tried windmills, you can't possibly know how hard they are. They are great for stretching the shoulders and building strength in all muscle groups of the shoulders and arms. If I were a body builder, I would do them all the time because they work so effectively."

FLEX: FLEX Weekly Update: Chat with Ronnie Coleman: 7 oktober 2000

Council for Responsible Nutrition: Dietary Supplements and the Olympics: 27 september 2000

"This week, it has been claimed that shot-putter C.J. Hunter has tested positive for nandrolone four times in recent months. He insists he did not knowingly use nandrolone, and a nutritionist who works with him has speculated that the substance may have been in the iron and calcium supplements he was taking.

Apparently the assumption is either that nandrolone was put there by the manufacturer, but not labeled, or that someone deliberately put nandrolone tablets in with the dietary supplements, to sabotage the athlete."

Life Extension Foundation: Male hormone modulation therapy:

"As men age past year 40, hormonal changes occur that perceptibly inhibit physical, sexual, and cognitive function. The outward appearance of a typical middle aged male shows increased abdominal fat and shrinkage of muscle mass, a hallmark effect of hormone imbalance.

The most significant hormone imbalance in aging men is a decrease in free testosterone, while estrogen levels remain the same or increase precipitously. As men grow older, they suffer through a variety of mechanisms from the dual effects of having too little testosterone and excess estrogen.

The result is a testosterone-estrogen imbalance that directly causes many of the debilitating health problems associated with normal aging."

Brink Zone: New Lactoferrin article:

"Hello all. As most of you know, whey protein is one of my personal interests and specialties. In particular, some of the subfractions in whey have been found to have wide array of potential uses to both athletes and people interested in general health and longevity.

Of particular importance, lactoferrin may be one of the most important sub fractions in whey and may have a wide variety of uses. I have recently written an article on this most promising of peptides. It was published in the Oct. 2000 issue of the Life Extension Magazine."

"Grip enthusiasts everywhere consider the hand gripper a 'standard of strength' (SOS™). Reasonably calibrated, SOS™ grippers have provided measurable benchmarks. One problem with SOS™ training is, you can either close it or you can't.

PDA has been working toward a premier grip machine for years. The mission has been to provide an effective, efficient, affordable, superior, infinitely adjustable, variable resistance platform for working up to the next SOS™. We even got down to looking at cams. Coincidentally and concurrently, Joe D'Agostino developed the Atlas™ (Pat Pend)."

Mesomorphosis: Creatine: The Ergogenic / Anabolic Supplement: 8 september 1998

"Scientific studies indicate that creatine supplementation is an effective and safe nutritional strategy to promote gains in strength and muscle mass during resistance-training. Moreover, that creatine supplementation may be an effective alternative to other less effective and/or potentially dangerous nutritional and pharmacological strategies that athletes have used in an attempt to increase strength and muscle mass during training.

This article will examine what we do and don’t know about creatine and whether concerns about side effects reported in the popular media have any merit."

The New York Times: Cheerleading Changes, and Injuries Increase: 3 oktober 2000

"Cheerleading is not what it used to be. While in the past, cheerleaders were little more than overcaffeinated dancers in itty- bitty skirts, these days they are athletes, real athletes. The head cheerleader is no longer the woman with the cutest smile and shapeliest legs, but the one with the best executed X-out double full twist. (Hint: don't try this at home.)" (Via SportJones)

Newstrolls: Drugs and the Olympiad: 13 september 2000

"I think that what we are seeing in the current anti-doping mania gripping the Olympics and other sports is not so much a desire for ethical purity as it is a deep seated fear of the unknown, where in this case the unknown is embodied in small white tablets (or whatever colour they are, and let's not get into the needle thing).

We can understand - and accept - the risk that an athlete takes when he runs to the limit of his endurance, or braves a raging whitewater torrent, or even when he hurtles around a racetrack at 200 miles per hour. But the danger a athlete faces when he engages in a steroid program is unknown to us; we can't relate, we can't understand it, it scares us to hell.

And because we are afraid of the unknown, then with typical human projection, everyone should be afraid of this unknown, even those who have a good understanding of what is actually happening. And we find it absurd, even reckless, that an althlete would willingly accept this risk in the pursuit of Olympic gold."

Independent News: Women don't take enough exercise because of pressure to be beautiful: 13 september 2000

"Many women are dissuaded from playing sport because it is inextricably linked with the unattainable beauty of female sports celebrities such as the tennis star Anna Kournikova, a leading sports psychologist said yesterday.

Physical exercise for women was sold as an extension of the beauty business rather than as an activity to improve health and well-being, the British Association meeting was told." (Via SportJones)

Fox News: 'Fat Police' Brutality: 6 oktober 2000

"The "fat police" have landed.

"Det är ju så med doping att effekten inte varar för evigt. Möjligen de bieffekter man inte önskar, men inte den prestationshöjande effekten.

Bland de nya IT-bolagen - kanske främst de nya e-bolagen - är doping vanligt förekommande. Doping har snarast varit en förutsättning för deras existens. De har kommit från ingenstans med visionen att göra något som någon redan gör fast till lägre pris för kunden. Den eventuella framgången skulle uppnås genom att deras marknadsandelar skulle bli så stora att de blev vinstgivande."

CyberPump: Protecting the shoulder:

"According to the NCAA's Injury Surveillance System, the shoulder has a long history of being one of the top two most frequently injured bodyparts in wrestling (the other being the knee). Increasing the strength of your shoulders can reduce your risk of incurring an injury while wrestling. In addition, several precautions can be taken to ensure that the strength training program itself doesn't predispose you to a shoulder injury."

SportScience.org: Creatine, the Next Ergogenic Supplement?:

"Creatine is used in muscle cells to store energy for sprinting and explosive exercise. Athletes can increase the amount of creatine in muscle by taking creatine supplements. Although some studies report no ergogenic effect, most indicate that creatine supplementation (e.g. 20 g per day for 5 to 7 days) increases sprint performance by 1-5% and work performed in repeated sprints by up to 15%.

These ergogenic effects appear to be related to the extent of uptake of creatine into muscle. Creatine supplementation for a month or two during training has been reported to promote further gains in sprint performance (5-8%), as well as gains in strength (5-15%) and lean body mass (1-3%).

The only known side effect is increased body weight. More research is needed on individual differences in the response to creatine, periodic or cyclical use of creatine, side effects, and long-term effects on endurance."

phys.com: Jump Start: Tips and tricks to put your eating and exercise program back on track: 

"Experts in fitness, nutrition, and psychology have found that although the appeal of living a healthier, longer life can get people to start exercising and eating properly, it is rarely strong enough to inspire them to keep up the regimen.

Exercise motivation consultant Jay Kimiecik, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, has found that long-term exercisers succeed where gym bingers fail because they focus on doing a physical activity largely for its own sake. In other words, it's the intrinsic benefits of enjoying what you do, focusing on a clear goal, and keeping track of both mind and body while you exercise that keep you going."

IWF Mailing List - www.iwf.net: 3 oktober 2000

Se bifogad excel-till-html-konverterade filen för statistik.

"The attached file consists of estimated totals to achieve a certain ranking based on analysis of WC '99, EC '99 & OC '00. All results (all doping results deleted) were first expressed as a relative Siff-score. In the first estimation I made a mean estimate, deleted all individual results greater then 10% difference of the average Siff-score and correlated the remaining results. This table will be used for long-term and short-term individual- and teamgoals for the Dutch national weightlifting team.

Some conclusions I made:

• Women weightlifting is now grown up, Siff-scores with best results are above 105% (please dr. Mel C. Siff maybe you're able to do a new analysis with results of the last years?);
• European women lifting needs development;
• Olympic games have inspired the best lifters, but not all lifters were representative (the IWF changed continental qualification);
• Men European top-10 is almost equal to World top-10.

Good luck from drs. Tom Bruijnen, Amsterdam

"Children are 10lbs. heavier today at age 10 than a decade ago. And it’s not functional well-hydrated muscle. Obesity has become a modern plague. Excess body fat, caused by the synergy of poor nutrition and inactivity, increases the risk of almost every disease and leads to an early grave. Did you know that one of the single best measures for a long and healthy life is a trim waistline?"

Man ska vara oerhört försiktig och jag rekommenderar ingen att använda preparaten, säger Mats Garle, chef på dopningslaboratoriet på Huddinge sjukhus.

I helgen skrev den tyska tidningen Der Spiegel om en studie utförd av en grupp forskare i Köln. Forskarna slår fast att många kosttillskott i hemlighet tillsätts steroider för att uppnå den effekt som utlovas på etiketterna."

New York Times: Scientists Explore Feeling Emotion: 20 september 2000

"Scientists have found new evidence that people feel emotions like sadness or anger in much the same way they feel heartburn -- by monitoring what's going on within their bodies.

"Den norske brottaren Fritz Aanes har åkt fast för doping. Och skyller på – Anders Lindqvist i Gävle. – Jag blev närmast chockad när jag hörde det här, säger den svenske brottningstränaren till OS2000.

Substansen som spårats i urinen heter 19-nor-androstenon och tillhör nandrolonfamiljen. Fritz Aanes hävdar att han fått i sig substansen genom kosttillskottet Pyruvat. Ett kosttillskott som Anders Lindqvist gett till honom. -Han (Anders Lindqvist) menade att om jag åt medlet så skulle jag få det lättare att gå ned i vikt, säger Fritz Aanes till nyhetsbyrån NTB."
