Britannica: Shows of Force: The Physics of Pro Wrestling:

"Though most pro wrestlers couldn't recite Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion at the drop of, say, a folded metal chair, they certainly have a visceral sense of such physical principles. After all, it is physics that both comes to the defense of these high-flying bruisers and provides the spectacle.

While it's the drama and theatrics that structure the show, it's the shows of force that make the spectacle. Britannica.com explores the physics behind professional wrestling."

Junk Science: Is the FDA's PPA Scare BS?: 10 november

"Ready, aim ... fire!" must be the Food and Drug Administration's motto. The FDA again is using premature science to force from the market popular consumer health care products. The targets this time are cold medicines and appetite suppressants.

But "plop-plop, fizz-fizz," oh what junk it is. The study doesn't credibly implicate PPA as causing stroke. Even accepting the results at face value, the claimed risk is essentially trivial." Diskutera artikeln här

NetDoktor: Östrogenbrist hos män kan leda till benskörhet: 10 november

"En opublicerad dansk studie visar att hos 30 procent av de män som lider av benskörhet, är östrogen en bristvara. "De har östrogen i icke mätbara eller mycket låga nivåer", säger överläkare Erik Fink Ersen på medicinsk-endokrinologiska avdelningen på Århus sjukhus. Ersen anser att det här gäller för hela landet och att östrogenbrist är en väldigt vanlig orsak till benskörhet, vanligare än testosteronbrist.

"Vi vet nu att östrogen primärt styr det manliga skelettets reglering av benbildning då testosteronet ombildas till östrogen med hjälp av enzymet aromatas. Och det är påvisat att det är koncentrationen av cirkulerande östrogen som bestämmer hur mycket benmassa en man förlorar efter 30-årsåldern", säger Erik Fink Ersen till DM." Diskutera artikeln här

Hemp has been cultivated as food for more than 5,000 years and, like soy, is a staple in Asian diets.

"Contest Results and Photos of the 2000 IFBB European Men's Bodybuilding Championships, Lausanne, Switzerland, November 4-6."

Oakland:

Lördag 8 november 1975: "Arnold won Mr Olympia for sixth time in Pretoria, South Africa. After Arnold was awarded by his idol Reg Park on stage, he announced his retirement from competitive bodybuilding. This event was also filmed for Pumping Iron movie.

In the movie Pumping Iron, Lou Ferrigno is featured as one of the top challengers to end Arnold's reign as Mr. Olympia. Lou now admits, this was the contest, he never wanted to enter. Lou was defeated long before the contest, focused on his problems rather than the title. His home life had deteriorated so badly and his relationship with father had become so awful that Lou was mentally unprepared to do battle for the greatest title in professional bodybuilding."

Yahoo! News: Rural women promise upsurge for India: 3 november

"A rare gold for an 18-year-old discus thrower at a world championship and an unexpected weightlifting bronze at the Sydney Olympics has spurred hopes that rural women could answer the prayers of medal-starved India.

Karnam Malleswari lifted a bronze in the 69 kg category last month to become the first woman from India to win an Olympic medal, the one-billion-strong nation's only trophy at the games.

The twin success has provided a glimpse of a quiet social change with an increasing number of hardy young women from rural India striving to succeed in demanding physical sports.

"Rural girls are physically very strong as they tend to cattle and help out in farm work,'' said Maharaj Kaushik, India's former chief hockey coach."

IDEA: Fitness Tip - Feeling Ill? Exercise Do’s and Don’ts:

"You’re tired and achy. You must be getting a cold or maybe even the flu. Should you tell your trainer you need to work extra hard to build up your immunity, shift your workout to a lower intensity or skip exercise altogether until the bout passes?

Most of us get hit with allergies, colds and other minor setbacks throughout the year, but few hard-and-fast rules exist regarding exercise and illness. The next time you're sick, refer to these do's and don'ts to help determine whether working out will help or hurt your condition."

Vetskap: Muskelsjukdom kan ge kunskap om fetma:

"Patienter med den ärftliga muskelsjukdomen dystrophia myotonica har många av de rubbningar som förknippas med det metabola syndromet - det vill säga störd ämnesomsättning och fetma. Detta bekräftar Åsa Johansson, Umeå universitet, i sin avhandling.

Trots detta tycks inte patienter med muskelsjukdomen löpa samma risk att få hjärtkärlsjukdomar och diabetes som de patienter som lider av det metabola syndromet.

Det här verkar vara en annan form av det metabola syndromet som skulle kunna ge en bättre förståelse kring det klassiska metabola syndromet och fetma, säger Åsa Johansson."

The Boston Globe: At school gyms, an exercise in good relations: 25 oktober

"High schools in Wellesley, Watertown, Westwood, and Framingham are taking physical fitness a step beyond the usual basketball and tennis courts, creating pricey fitness centers students and staff use during the day while luring residents at night.

Apemen: America's Greatest Athletes: The Olympics Deserve Less:

"Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson. Three of the greatest NBA players of all time. Three members of the original Dream Team - the first-ever USA Olympic basketball squad to include professional players.

Now, years later, with America's professional athletes welcome in a number of Olympic events, I've reconsidered my position. No more professional athletes in the Olympics. Not from the USA, anyway.

Never was that more evident then when Vince Carter leapt over the head of a hapless Lithuanian basketball player and slam-dunked the ball gorilla style. Over his head. The Lithuanian guy was simply out-gunned. And watching Goliath stomp the shit out David is not what the Olympics are about."

Stonewall Inn: GirlJock: In Search of the Rugby Goddess:

"Boston women's rugby was born in 1976. Rugby lore has it (and there's always plenty of rugby lore) that a young woman named K. O. Onufried was so keen to play rugby that she began playing on the men's rugby team at the University of Massachusetts and later become one of Beantown's formative players.

What kind of woman could play men's rugby, you might wonder? Surely, she must have been six-foot-three with bulging muscles and a neck of steel. Don't let the stereotypes fool you. The beauty of rugby is that there's a position for every body type -- short, tall, stocky, powerful, sinewy, and fast, with different needs for every position."

The Breast Chronicles: 5 november

"You've probably seen the ads for these popular herbal supplements, creams, exercises, and even electrical stimulation that promises to turn an A cup into a C cup. But do they really work? Bust developers that massage breasts with fine jets of water give you wet breasts, period. So-called firming creams basically moisturise the top layer of breast skin: This may make your breasts feel softer and smoother, but it adds zilch in the way of mass.

Doctors say your money would be better spent at the gym. But breasts are made up of fatty and glandular tissue, and no exercise or massage will increase the amount of either. All exercise can do is strengthen the pectoral muscles, which support the breasts (breasts themselves contain no muscles except tiny ones that cause the nipples to become erect). They also say breast implants are the only way to increase size."

MSNBC Health: Is there such a thing as Seasonal Exercise Disorder?: 

"The winter months can be brutal for some people’s fitness routines, says Bradley Cardinal, an exercise physiologist at Oregon State University. He recently prepared a case study of a man in his mid-30s who lives in the northern United States. Each year, the man was active from July through November, but then found his activity level would drop off for the rest of the year.

While Cardinal cautions against reading too much from the study of one person, he believes that most people’s activity levels fluctuate, largely because of environmental factors. “It’s a lot easier to get out and exercise when the weather is warm,” he says."

The Arnold Fan: Arnold was almost terminated while filming "The 6th Day"!

"The 6th Day was shot in Vancouver earlier this year. During the film's harrowing climax, Schwarzenegger tries to elude his pursuers by hiding in a tank of water. "The scene should have been a piece of cake for me. I scuba dive and I am an excellent swimmer," says Schwarzenegger.

We'd rehearsed the scene with me wearing goggles and a air tank. It was so simple. "When I took off the goggles and the tank and they turned on all the lights for the cameras, the water was murkier than I realized so I got disoriented."

YourHealthDaily: Olympian Mark Spitz Dives In On Cholesterol Awareness Tour: 6 november

Arlington, Texas. Det är ju Ronnie Colemans hemstad. Undrar om Ronnie var för att lyssna på Mark Spitz seminarium om förhöjda kolesterolvärden...?

"Few athletes in history have excelled to the heights of Mark Spitz, winner of a record seven gold medals in swimming at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, Germany.

But, in 1995, Spitz received a resounding reminder that, in spite of all of his greatness, he is mortal. All it took was a routine physical, during which he discovered he had a cholesterol level of 303.

"My lifestyle was good. I was exercising five days, participating in the Masters Swim Program at UCLA and I've always eaten right,'' Spitz, 50, said during a stop in Arlington on Thursday as part of his nationwide tour to promote a cholesterol awareness program called Laps for Life. "I was shocked when I was told I had high cholesterol because I had no symptoms at all of anything being wrong.''

"Stress is a hallmark of college. For many people, fatty foods and long hours on the couch somehow turn into stress-relievers. But it is common knowledge that these indiscretions can lead to weight gain.

New research, however, suggests that stress alone, minus the indulgences, can pack on the pounds as well. Pamela Peeke, an assistant clinical professor at the University of Maryland Medical School, said when people are faced with stressful situations, the brain sends out a stress hormone that triggers a series of reactions that cause certain cells to retain fat."
