Jyllands-Posten: Hård kurs mod konkurser: 18 november

"Tro. Håb. Og ærlighed. Dyder der har fået et skud for boven i sportslig sammenhæng indenfor både ishockey og håndbold på det seneste.

Min mærkesag er, at der nu må ske et holdningsskifte i dansk idrætt. Økonomifolkene skal have magten i klubberne. Fremtidens struktur er, at alle foreninger skal gøres til forretninger med uvildig revision. Som det har været de seneste år, har viljen oversteget evnerne. Ambitionsniveauet har været større, end livremmen kunne holde til. Kun halvdelen af de danske eliteklubber har, så vidt jeg kan vurdere det, en sund økonomi i dag."

Kristianstadsbladet: Friskis & Svettis bygger ut: 8 november

"Friskis & Svettis spränger bokstavligt talat alla väggar. Redan tre år efter nybygget ute på Björkhem har man blivit så trångbodda att de 1200 kvadratmeterna inte längre räcker till. 360 nya kvadratmeter skall bland annat ge en helt ny separat gympahall."

Nu har verksamheten expanderat så till den milda grad att det nu måste till insatser för att minska trångboddheten. Särskilt trångt är det på Nautilus där örebroare bränner fett och bygger muskler i sällan skådad omfattning."

Hallandsposten: Konkurrens ger billigare morgonbad: 26 oktober

"Det kommunalt ägda Sannarpsbadet i Halmstad sänker sina priser på morgnarna. Men sänkningen beror inte på välvilja mot morgonbadarna utan sker av konkurrensskäl.

Om mindre än en månad öppnar Nautilus i gamla simhallen. Förutom styrketräning finns också en simbassäng att tillgå. Och det har Halmstads kommun noterat."

Kristianstadsbladet: Trängsel bland undanflykterna: 25 oktober

"Faror lurar överallt. Vissa faror är det tillåtet att varna för. "Kör försiktigt!" får man säga. Att många riskerar att dö av för mycket fet mat och för lite motion får man inte tala allvarligt om."Ät mindre fett! får man inte säga till sina vänner. Motionera mer! får man inte heller säga till såna man känner. Vikten tillhör avdelningen personlig integritet. Förr, när utseendet inte var så viktigt, var snacket friare."

IHT: Tracing Paths to Addiction: 16 november

"As the war on drugs has marched into the scientist's lab, researchers have devised a paradigm that may help explain why some people get hooked after a single "taste" of an illegal drug while others can use it for years and quit when they choose. Once thought of as weak willed people who lacked the moral strength to "just say no" to drugs, addicts are now viewed as victims of genes that make them susceptible to the powerful pull of mind-altering substances."

The Exercise Group: The Navy SEAL abdominal workout:

"Outlined by author Mark De Lisle in The Navy SEAL Workout, the program consists of exercises for enhancing range of motion, as well as developing strength and muscularity in the upper and lower body. There is also a section on activities geared toward improving cardiovascular conditioning.

Many of the exercises are functionally based: Unlike conventional movements, the skills they enhance are specific to normal activities of daily living that aren't performed in a completely controlled fashion. Regular application of these types of exercises improves balance and coordination and presents a significant challenge that can make the training program that much more interesting."

24 Hours Fitness: De-Bunking the Myth:

"Fit and fat. It sounds too good to be true. The idea is that it doesn’t matter how fat you are, after all, so long as your vital signs are healthy.

Vi skal ikke til at efterligne noget fra Amerika, hvor man ikke er sikker på, hvad der er i kosttilskuddene.

ACE: Size Doesn’t Matter as Much as it Should: 

"If the low-fat craze of the ‘90s taught us anything, it’s that calories do count and that you can’t eat massive quantities of low-fat foods and still stay slim. Even so, nearly 80 percent of Americans believe that what they eat is more important than how much they eat, according to a survey of 1,000 adults conducted on behalf of the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR)."

UniSci: Testosterone Precursors Don't Help, Could Hurt: Study: 13 november

"Androstenedione is being marketed as a safe and natural dietary alternative to hormonal enhancement, promising better sexual performance, reduced body fat levels and increased muscle mass.

But such testosterone precursors don't help the body better adapt to resistance training when consumed in dosages recommended by manufacturers, according to an article in today's issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, a member of the JAMA family of journals."

Fødevaredirektoratet: Hvad gør vi med mælkefedtet?:

"Der fokuseres i disse år meget på de positive budskaber i ernæringsoplysningen. Spis mere frugt og grønt, mere af de stivelsesrige fødevarer og sæt fisk på menuen noget oftere. Efter 90ernes kampagner for at begrænse indtaget af fedt har dette element været tonet lidt ned på det seneste.

Det må imidlertid ikke glemmes, at på fedtfronten er der stadig et godt stykke vej at gå, før vi kan være tilfredse. Enkle beregninger vil vise, at den danske befolkning årligt spiser mindst 40.000 tons mere mælkefedt end hvad godt er."

HealthCentral: Drug-free Olympics places distant second in race for profits: 14 september

"Drug use in Olympic sport has been epidemic since the 1960s," according to Dr. Charles Yesalis, an expert in performance-enhancing drugs from Pennsylvania State University in University Park.

What has changed over the years are the drugs of choice and the methods athletes use to thwart drug tests. What has not changed, according to Yesalis, is the blind eye Olympic officials have cast toward the problem. In an interview with Reuters Health, he called the "anti-doping" efforts for the Sydney Games "public-relations fluff."

Frequently Asked Questions for the Lowcarb Diet and Exercise List:

1.1: What's the purpose of this list?

"The lowcarb-list is a forum for discussion and support of low carbohydrate diets and/or eating plans that have a goal of hormone control or manipulation. The discussion includes but is not limited to Atkins, Carbohydrate Addicts Diet (CAD), Protein Power, the Zone, Iso Calorie Diet, Anabolic Diet, and BodyOpus diets. Discussions about diets such as Scarsdale or Stillman that are basically low calorie and not just low carb probably should be somewhere else."

"The primary subtopic is how to exercise effectively on these diets when your liver is out of glycogen. However, the use of these diet programs to control epilepsy, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and other medical conditions is also on topic. If you have one of these conditions, you should check with your medical professional before acting on any information posted on the list."

UniSci: Anthropologist Sees WWF Wrestling Bouts As Passion Plays: 26 juli

"Truth wears body oil, justice sports bulging pecs and The American Way is a struggle against oppressive individuals who manipulate society for their own gain, says a University of Florida researcher who has studied the country's infatuation with professional wrestling.

Audiences know that productions of the World Wrestling Federation, known as the WWF, are sports entertainment, not athletic competitions, and come in droves to experience the events as passion plays that re-enact their personal and social struggles, said Aaron Feigenbaum, who did the research for his doctoral dissertation in anthropology at UF."

»Vi havde først tænkt os at gå ud med det her om to-tre uger, men det er korrekt, at vi har taget verdenspatent på en vitaminpille, der indeholder fiskeolie i pulverform. En sådan pille er ikke set før, og den vil efter vores mening have et meget stort potentiale, fordi den så at sige koger de mange piller, folk skal tage i dag, ned til en enkelt 'supervitaminpille'«, siger Kern Lystryp, der sammen med Leif Knudsen udgør Sportscom Danmarks direktion."

Newswise: New Diet Reduces Pig Odor: 10 november

"To the pig farmer, it's the smell of money. To those that happen to live downwind, it's just the smell - the smell they would rather do without.

When people list complaints about hog confinement operations, odor is usually near the top. However, according to swine nutritionist Gary Allee, there's a way to let everyone breathe a little easier.

Like all animals, pigs need certain amounts of essential amino acids - the building blocks that make up proteins - to grow at their potential," Allee said. "But when formulating a corn/soy diet to provide all of the essential amino acids, large excesses of some amino acids accumulate. The excess is not used by the pig, but rather, it is excreted and becomes the primary nitrogen-containing compound from which microorganisms produce odor."

To remedy this problem, Allee has formulated a diet that uses synthetic amino acids. This allows producers to lower the percentage of crude protein in the pigs' diet, reducing the amount of excessive amino acids that lead to odor."

Aftenposten: Når maten ikke strekker til: 13 november

For de fleste av oss er risikoen ved kosttilskudd liten - et omstridt spørsmål er om effekten er like liten. For toppidrettsutøvere kan et useriøst kosttilskudd være katastrofalt. Thomas Alsgaard lever pillefritt."
