The Wall Street Journal: Webloggers Try to Filter Out Information Excess of the Net: 39 oktober

"Combining the personal perspective of a journal with the vast databank of cyberspace, a good weblog can take you in a hundred different directions in just a few minutes. Compelling and interactive, it represents the most successful new literary form of the Internet Age.

The growing popularity of the format underscores a paradox of these information-saturated times: the need to give people quick, comprehensive access to diverse topics while helping them to delve into detail at any moment. Weblogs' power to captivate also demonstrates why human beings should remain in the loop even as online publishers increasingly seek to "personalize" information with automated systems.

A weblog is much more than a list of Web bookmarks, but the linking element is crucial. Many people post online journals devoted mostly to chronicling the mundane events of their daily lives, dear-diary style. True webloggers don't tell you much about themselves directly. Instead, they reveal themselves through the links they choose." (Registration krävs för att komma åt artikeln)

Bill Dobbins: The NPC Fitness Nationals 2000 report and observations:

"I have written before that I am rarely able to predict whom the judges are going to select in a fitness contest. I think this has never been more the case than it was at the Manhattan Center for the 2000 Nationals.

Not there weren't any fitness competitors who seemed outstanding. On the contrary, the difficulty is that so many of them look so good, have great figures, pretty faces and perform excellent routines that it seems impossible to choose among them on any kind of an objective level."

Dala Demokraten: Djupa orsaker till anorexi: 25 november

"Anorexi och bulimi beror varken på samhällets skönhetsideal eller problem i familjen. Det har djupare orsaker att flickor och ibland även pojkar svälter sig. Det menar Mia Andersson, ordförande i Svenska familjeterapiföreningen. - Anorektiker har en väldigt negativ självbild och saknar framtidstro, säger hon."

Rowing Technology Page: Perfect coordination is the prime factor:

"For many people, the main attraction in rowing is the permanent quest for the optimum combination of force, endurance and perfect coordination. Experience shows that coordination is the most difficult to train of these three factors.

It is, therefore, surprising that so many rowers should spend quite a lot of their precious time improving their strength and/or endurance using equipment which induces a coordination pattern between the main muscle groups that is absolutely detrimental to good rowing. It is the intention of this article to indicate how improve this situation."

Dave Draper: Plateaus: Fact or fiction?:

"Plateaus, fact or fiction? No matter. Our job is to kill the ugly beast, real or imaginary, and sustain the process of building muscle, strength and shape at an agreeable pace... if not at the speed of light. I personally believe that plateaus or sticking points are the abominations of un-seasoned muscle builders, whose patience and understanding have not wholly developed."

"Over the years we have been inundated with the mantra that fats are bad for the heart and waist. While saturated fat raise cholesterol levels and are associated with increased rates of coronary heart disease and cancer, that doesn’t mean that all fats are bad.

OnHealth: When the Workout Isn't Working: 13 november

"Now and then, everybody has a day like this: You walk into the weight room feeling like the King of All Barbells but end up performing more like the Queen Mum. Dumbbells you handled easily in the last workout seem to have put on weight.

Rather than mastering the iron, you feel as if your body is three-quarters rust. What makes your muscles go from 60 to zero so suddenly and unexpectedly? We found eight possible reasons and eight solutions. Put these into practice and you may go the rest of your life without having another bad day at the gym."

CBS HealthWatch: A Trip to the Gym May be Deadly for Some: 14 november

"Although leading an active lifestyle keeps your heart healthy, going to the gym for an overzealous workout may be a risky move for many people with heart disease."

Washington Post: Diving Into an Unlikely Sport: 5 oktober

"The game of underwater hockey combines the roughhousing of rugby with the puck-skimming smoothness of shuffleboard. And it's all played at the bottom of the pool. The air, of course, is at the top of the pool--four to eight feet above the playing field.

No one shouts, because shouting uses up valuable air. Indeed, the sheer act of moving hockey into the pool also, strangely, moves it into the realm of Zen.

Kendall Banks advises players to "control everything you can control. Every muscle you're not using, you have to relax, so you don't use up oxygen. A lot of actions--like gritting your teeth--are just wasting air." He adds: "I'm not saying this game isn't played intensely. But there's a balance between getting fired up and staying relaxed."

New York Times: Debate Over Milk: Time to Look at Facts: 26 september

"The popular claim that "cows' milk is for calves," not people, begs an intriguing dietary question: on what grounds can it be said that any cultivated food — be it wheat, rice, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, chicken or pork — was meant to be eaten by people?

Humans began as hunter-gatherers, eating whatever they could find that grew naturally. No edible specifically evolved to feed people. Rather, people learned to cultivate edible plant and animal foods to assure a more constant food supply."

Detroit News: Lazy and loving it: 26 september

If it makes our daily lives easier, Americans probably own it. Is that a good thing? "Now we blow the leaves versus raking them, we ride on the lawnmower versus pushing the lawnmower," Keteyian says. "There's a relation between physical inactivity and colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity ... the list gets pretty long." He adds: "I'm sure there's a sociology that convenience is better. But maybe it's not better."

Washington Post: Hard Evidence: 26 september

"In the past decade, a multi-billion-dollar industry has sprung up devoted to preventing, diagnosing and treating osteoporosis--thin, brittle bones that tend to fracture easily. That's remarkable for a condition most people had never heard of 15 years ago.

These skeptics acknowledge that osteoporosis is a serious and potentially devastating medical problem--one that is likely to increase in incidence and importance as more Americans live longer. But they say it has also been the subject of considerable hype and confusion fueled by drug companies and other firms pushing products and by some advocates seeking to raise awareness of their cause."

The Village Voice: Olympic Female Athletes Are Disrobing for the Cameras at a Record Pace: 30 augusti

"A funny thing happened on the way to Sydney. While a record number of female athletes prepare to compete in a record number of sporting events, a disproportionate number of them are taking their clothes off along the way.

They're everywhere, these proud offspring of Title IX—strong, competitive, and practically naked. Not content with risqué poses for a slew of national magazines, Olympic high jumper Amy Acuff organized her fellow track athletes for a seminude calendar. Star swimmer Jenny Thompson stood topless for a glowing Sports Illustrated profile. Hell, a whole bunch of Australian women's teams have posed for their own naughty calendars (take that, Brandi Chastain!)."

6 Lower body stretches that really work:

When you have no other time than what it takes to stretch the legs, don't assume that it won't be worthwhile. Sure, it's better to stretch the entire body, but if you have just enough time to stretch something, make sure it's in the lower body region, because it will be more beneficial to the daily physical demands placed on your body than any other thing.

Finding the best stretches can be a challenge. Here's a list of the 6 best lower body stretches around.

Battledome's "The Commander" Christian Boeving:

"I was certainly not the only boy in my town to think that Arnold was the greatest thing since the invention of the bicycle," recalls Boeving. "But I don’t think most other kids in town took it quite as far as I did." Then again, who would need a role model more than a fatherless boy?

"When I saw Conan the Barbarian I pretty much knew Arnold’s characters and his life held some sort of message for me," notes Boeving. "I wasn’t sure of what all those messages were, but I knew that being a leader and taking charge of your life was part and parcel of the message."

Many people in midlife notice that while they may be eating less, the pounds are piling on, the belt needs another notch and the get-up-and-go seems to have got up and left.

In midlife there is a new set of rules. Our metabolism - how your body converts food into energy and then burns that energy as calories - is slowing down.

Fighting the Flu & Colds At the Gym:

"While you’ll probably be exposed to a larger number of people at the gym than at work, that doesn’t necessarily mean your chances for getting the flu or a cold at the gym are higher," says Kinzat.

NetDoctor: Bitter taste equals good health: 25 november

"Foods we dislike are the ones best for us according to new research. Bitter, sour and acrid foods like sprouts, grapefruit, dark chocolate, greens and red wine contain ‘phyto-nutrients’ that improve our health and have been linked with cancer prevention. However, the food industry has neglected these types of foods in favour of sweeter tasting products."

NetDoctor: More food bad: 25 november

"Eating less food may lead to a longer life, according to a new study. American researchers have found that monkeys fed a diet with 70 per cent fewer calories than normal are less likely to develop degenerative diseases, such as cancer. The tests follow research into fruit flies, worms and mice that showed up to a 40-fold increase in longevity as a result of a restricted diet.

The experiments with the rhesus monkeys, however, are the first to include animals with longer life spans. The scientists carrying out the research claim their experiments could one day provide an insight into the processes involved in human ageing."

Politiken: Doping:

"I 1967 kollapser og dør den engelske cykelrytter Tommy Simpson på toppen af Mont Ventoux under Tour de France. Obduktionen viser, at han har taget amfetamin.

I 1988 vinder Ben Johnson olympisk guld og sætter verdensrekord i 100 meter løb. Han bliver frataget begge dele, da en dopingtest viser anabolske steroider.

I 1998 bliver hele Festina-holdet udelukket fra Tour de France på grund af systematisk brug af EPO. Midlerne skifter, nye metoder kommer til, men målet er det samme: Hurtigere, højere, længere og en stor pose penge.

Den med det bedste medicinskab vinder."

"There's no question that there's a much greater emphasis on male body image than there was a generation ago," said Dr. Harrison G. Pope Jr., one of the book's three authors and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Back in the iconographically innocent era of Woodstock, Pope said, "men didn't go to the gym five days a week." They didn't employ personal trainers, measure themselves in terms of body fat percentage or spend $2 billion a year on commercial gym memberships, and $2 billion more on home exercise equipment."

CNN: 'Fat switch' makes cells turn to flab, study says: 10 augusti

"A protein that switches fat cell formation on and off may help explain some of the causes of both obesity and the increasing flabbiness that comes with age, researchers said on Thursday.

The protein stops cells from becoming fat cells when it is on. When it is absent, or produced at low levels, fat cells are born, a team at the University of Michigan reported."

"Here's a fact that people stuffed with Thanksgiving stuffing might well contemplate: According to studies of short-lived species such as worms, flies, and mice, slashing normal calorie consumption by one-third can extend an animal's natural life span and reduce its odds of diseases such as cancer. Researchers monitoring monkeys on calorie-restricted diets have also seen signs that this strategy can benefit long-lived primates and, presumably, people."

"Danmarks mest solgte receptpligtige slankemiddel, Letigen, er, efter offentliggørelsen af en ny amerikansk undersøgelse, kommet under alvorlig mistanke for at kunne føre til død og alvorlige skader hos vilkårlige patienter. Undersøgelsen, som er offentliggjort af The New England Journal of Medicine, omhandler ialt 140 sager om formodede skader i forbindelse med brugen af ephedrin- og coffeinholdige slankemidler. Hver tredje hændelse var direkte eller sandsynligvis forårsaget af slankemidlet. Og for nogle af brugerne blev forsøget på at tabe sig skæbnesvangert."

Getting started in competitive sports can be very overwhelming and discouraging when you find out just how much time and effort it takes to get ready. But it doesn't have to be that way. Anything that is worthwhile achieving is going to take work and sometimes it may take help and support from someone who's been through what you're feeling. Well, I'm that person!

So, whether you're just starting out or looking for some new information, there is something for everyone in my competition tips."

JustMove: Report: pre-game sex OK for athletes: 21 november

"Athletes' superstitions aside, having sex the night before the big game probably has little to do with who wins or loses, scientists say.

It seems the time-honored tradition of swearing off sex just before a critical competition does not have the medical evidence to back it up. There is, at least, no evidence that pre-game sex has damning physical effects, according to researchers at McGill University in Montreal, Canada." (Via MetaMuscle)

Bodybuilding Brotherhood Style - Home of TRULY Hardcore Natural Bodybuilding:

Enters the gym the mind in a Zone
Has no yuppie friends and works out alone
Raggedy sweat shirt and weightlifting gloves
Walks toward the iron, pain is what he loves
Admirers and passers watch, and he pays no mind
For they are weak, and not of his kind
Sinew burns from the weight and from the pain
What he wants is gain, and the spirit doesn't wane
Others cringe, from pain he endures
Living the life of iron is the only cure
He cries to the Brotherhood,the last rep,last set
Unable to complete it, was his only regret
Bleeding sweat,bone through the flesh,he's bar none
Anguish,cramps,veins popping, his workout is done
He crawls from the gym,for the workout was good
Wimps speak in whispers "He's part of the BROTHERHOOD."

Sportscience: Resistance training and endurance performance:

"Elite and recreational endurance athletes undertake resistance training believing it will improve performance. But training for endurance and training for maximal strength and power represent completely different and opposite forms of activity. Endurance training consists of many thousands of submaximal muscle contractions performed at low to moderate workloads, while training for strength and power involves relatively few contractions at maximal or near maximal force.

From a physiological standpoint, it seems unlikely that muscle would be able to adapt to two seemingly incompatible training stimuli when they are undertaken simultaneously. Surprisingly, few good scientific studies have been conducted using well-trained athletes to determine if the improvements in muscular strength gained from resistance training result in enhanced endurance performance."

JOM: Is the Use of Advanced Materials in Sports Equipment Unethical?: Februari 1997

"This article addresses the role of advanced materials in sports. At the highest professional level, sports are a highly competitive occupation with millions of dollars depending upon fractions of a second or tenths of a centimeter. However, even the dedicated amateur is willing to invest a great deal of money to improve his or her performance. Thus, just as in other fields, the use of advanced materials in athletics can be justified if it leads to enhanced performance.

Just as in the transportation industry, the materials of choice for sports have shown a major evolution over the last 100 years. From naturally occurring materials such as wood, twine, gut, and rubber, we have progressed to high-technology metals, polymers and ceramics, and synthetic-hybrid materials including composites and cellular concepts.

In this article, we first consider how sporting equipment is designed, drawing examples from a number of sports. We will examine in more detail how measurable (absolute) records have been impacted by these advanced materials."

Vad betyder denna växande näthälsoflod för patienterna, för deras anhöriga, för vårdpersonalen? Och vad händer t ex med relationen mellan patienter och läkare när läkarens gamla kunskapsövertag kan utjämnas genom tillgången till Internet? Rapporten Näthälsa. Internetpatienter möter surfande doktorer – uppstår konfrontation eller samarbete? behandlar ingående och utförligt sådana frågor.

Nätplatser med medicinsk information och patientgemenskaper ger inte minst kroniskt sjuka råg i ryggen. Patienter lär sig mer om sjukdomar och behandlingar. Vårdfolk använder nätet för att fördjupa och vidareutveckla sitt yrkeskunnande. Den omfattande tillgången till information revolutionerar vården och höjer vårdkvaliteten."

"What's nice about The 6th Day is that it's not ashamed of its blatant reassembly of familiar elements, mostly lifted from Verhoeven's Robocop and Total Recall, with a dash of Cronenberg and some Blue Thunder thrown in for spice.

Since the script is confident--barring the somewhat sluggish final showdown--it weaves its elements together to create an inventive movie that stands on its own. Think of it as The Matrix for adults."

The Hindu: Getting to be noticed: 18 november

"Whether the critics accept it or not, the three-time world champion in the super heavyweight category of yesteryear, Taranenko, clearly demonstrated what a committed coach can achieve even if the trainee comes from a rustic place like Amudalavalasa in Srikakulam of Andhra Pradesh and has to be trained in a murky set-up where favouritism and ignorance of plain truth reign supreme.

Washington Post: Beware Trainers' Medical Advice: 21 november

"Rx: Consult a Personal Trainer" [Bodyworks, Oct. 31] suggests that there is an emerging breed of well-educated exercise specialists who are qualified to help people with chronic medical conditions.

As a personal trainer who has now become a physical therapist, I would have to disagree with the identification of personal trainers for working with individuals with complex medical conditions. Although there are some personal trainers qualified to work with special populations, there are many more unqualified personal trainers espousing to be qualified."

The Sydney Morning Herald: The ring-in: 18 november

"An angry figure, with the looks of a Latin Brando, sidles into the back room of a knockabout city gym. "I wanna train with you," says the wounded soul. "I wanna be a boxer." "Sure," says the trainer without looking up from a game of dominoes. "It's a great workout." "No, for real," says the smouldering figure by the door. "I want to fight."

The twist in Karyn Kusama's first film, one of the successes of America's Sundance festival this year, is that the angry young man is an angry young woman. She is played with a brooding intensity by Michelle Rodriguez, who turned up late for an audition but won the part even though she'd never acted or boxed before."

Evansville Courier & Press: Experts urge caution with structured snacks: 20 november

"Lean On Me and Level Best, both made by Functional Foods Inc. of Belmont, Mass., are offered as “structured snacks” for people battling heart disease, diabetes and excess weight. The products, set to debut later this month, will be sold in drugstores and on the Internet for about $1 per dose. 

Lean On Me is aimed at those who want to lose weight and is billed as the “Feel-Full-While-You-Burn-Calories Between-Meal Deal.” It contains psyllium, barley, fructose, green-tea extract, chromium picolinate and 5-HTP — common dietary supplements purported to promote satiety and perhaps increase the rate at which the body burns calories. Each serving has 45 calories."

Rocky Mountain News: Conscience exercises:

"Workouts can be had at any health club. Here, however, women receive professional coaching from MacInnes Mize, who won the World Masters Championship in her age group in 1998; from Frode Lillefjell, a Norwegian skier and racer; and from program founder Jim Galanes, a three-time Olympian.

Gold 2002 has made them fit and healthy, and greatly improved their skiing. There's another side effect, too: camaraderie. Participants trade advice about work and family, suffer good-naturedly through dozens of abdominal crunches and applaud even the tiniest improvements."

The Village Voice: The Dangerous Son: 22 november

"For a lot of us, weight lifting was about having pride in your physical stature," says Jon Cota, who went to school with Barnes and me. "But he took it too far. He got hooked on the juice, and just started throwing weight around. He gained about a hundred pounds of muscle, and realized people started to respect and even fear him. That's what he wanted. That's what he lived for. But something happened to his mind. He became another person."

"He undergoes body wax treatments to remove all the hair on his upper body and arms, and he shaves his legs. He rides a stationary bike before going to work, where he lifts weights not only for strength but to keep his astonishingly sculptured body perfect.

He vacuums the bottom of his locker because he can't stand dirt. He showers before practice, applies deodorant, then showers again before going home. He never takes a vacation and rarely goes out. His lifestyle was opposite of anything Lewis had known. But it intrigued him."

"Hurts so good: chili peppers, carbonated drinks and nicotine all deliver painful sensations to the brain, said neurophysiologist Earl Carstens of the University of California, Davis. "Humans have to learn to like these irritants, because they are all activating pain pathways," said Carstens.

In fact, pain may be an important part of food flavor, alongside taste and smell, according to food scientist Michael O'Mahony, who jointly heads the research team with Carstens. Most cultures have foods with this effect, such as strong malt vinegar on fish and chips, pretzels crusted with salt, black pepper, chilies, mustard oil or horseradish."

Healthology: Things That Hurt When You Move: Tendonitis, Bursitis, and Other Joint Conditions: 1 juli 1999

"Soft tissue rheumatic syndromes affect the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bursa that surround a joint. These structures can become irritated, resulting in pain, swelling, warmth, and inflammation around the joint. Because the structures surround the joint, these symptoms can easily be mistaken for arthritis, but arthritis refers to direct irritation of the joint itself and not these structures. Nonetheless, soft tissue problems can co-exist with arthritis and can involve structures throughout the body."

Yahoo! News: Experts Spar Over Ethics of Placebos: 21 november

"The "best'' medical studies--those most likely to determine if a drug or treatment really work--compare people receiving a treatment to those receiving a placebo--an inactive drug or sham treatment. But is the use of a placebo ethical, even if a study participant knows they may be getting an inactive drug?"

ConsumerLab.com: Product Review: Coenzyme Q10: 21 november

From August through September 2000, ConsumerLab.com purchased 29 different CoQ10 products, several of which also contained other ingredients, such as bioflavonoids and vitamin E.

ConsumerLab.com tests popular supplement for heart failure: 21 november

ConsumerLab.com today released results of its 10th Product Review, focusing on dietary supplements containing coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). CoQ10 may aid in the treatment of congestive heart failure ­ a disease in which the heart does not adequately maintain circulation.

I-A-R-T: The Case Against Explosive Weight Training:

"The intent of this paper is three-fold: (1) to elucidate the fact that ballistic weight training movements carry with them the highest injury potential of any resistance exercises performed in the weight room setting; (2) to dispute the erroneous notion that there exists a definitive physiological or biomechanical mechanism by which ballistic weight training movements result in a distinct and irrefutable advantage over controlled, high tension resistance exercises in producing and/or enhancing speed, power or athletic skill development; and (3) to offer safer, more efficient and more productive training alternatives."

wellido: Att sluta snusa är att dö en smula:

"Jag ser på mig själv liksom utifrån; ser hur jag sitter där och trummar frenetiskt med fingrarna mot bordsskivan. Det rycker i mungipan och min blick ser i det närmaste vansinnig ut, som om jag när som helst kommer att få ett utbrott och kasta mig över någon. Vad gör jag häruppe, svävande över min egen kropp som ett annat fån? Har jag en nära-döden-upplevelse? Ja, nästan. Jag håller på att försöka sluta snusa, och att sluta snusa är - som jag just förstått - att dö en smula."

Philosophy News Service: What a dopey opinion on doping in sport: 26 juni 2000

"The myth of the "natural" exists alongside the myths of monsters and machines, robots and automata. Sport does not express "natural" performance levels at all. There is nothing "natural" about elite sport, just as there is nothing wrong with drug-enhanced performance on the basis of any of the spurious criteria put forward by the IOC or the European Commission.

That does not mean that drug use in sport is desirable; rather that the current arguments against it just won't do."

wellido: Bra mat är bättre än dyra piller:

"Vintern är snart här och med den, den årliga influensan. I år kommer den kraftigaste influensan på många år att drabba oss. Europa har redan blivit drabbat och där har redan 18 personer dött, skriver Aftonbladet den 23 oktober 2000. Vad är då influensan och hur kan man klara sig undan den?"

"Efter att ha försvarat sin WBU titel fyra gånger avsade han sig för några år sedan bältet för att kunna utmana mästarna inom de mer etablerade boxningsorganisationerna. Nu befinner sig George i Vallentuna norr om Stockholm för att återfinna den motivation som en gång gjorde honom till världsmästare."

mitt-liv.nu: Kaffe + huvudvärkspulver tar bort huvudvärken: 5 november

"En kombination av kaffe och ibuprofen har visat sig vara rena dunderkuren mot huvudvärk, det har amerikanska forskare upptäckt. 301 försökspersoner fick ta antingen ibuprofen, koffein eller en kombination av bägge.

Hela 80% av de som testade den sistnämnda kombinationen uppgav att de kände sig bättre i huvudet efter cirka sex timmar. Av ibuprofengruppen blev 67% bättre inom samma tidrymd medan resultatet för de som enbart tog koffein blev 61%. Tilläggas kan även att ibuprofen/koffeingruppen blev bättre ungefär en timme före de övriga."

wellido: Kostfiber- slaggprodukt eller undermedel?:

"Fiber har betraktas som onyttiga slaggprodukter- men även som hälsan själv. Redan Hippokrates, grekernas framsynte läkarförebild från antiken, uttalade sig positivt om fiberrikt bröd och grönsaker utan att kunna ana att fibermuffins, fiberberikat bröd, flingor m m påfund skulle bli högsta mode 2500 år senare."

Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: Tracking physical fitness and physical activity from childhood to adolescence: the Muscatine study: Juli

"Purpose: Physical fitness and physical activity tracking data enhance our understanding as to when children settle into their long-term exercise and fitness patterns and, therefore, provide insight as to when programs focusing on preventing sedentary adults behaviors should be initiated.

Conclusion: These observations suggest that preventive efforts focused on maintaining physical fitness and physical activity through puberty will have favorable health benefits in later years."

NetDoktor: Diet drug: 21 november

"Researchers may have found a technique to allow people to eat as much as they like without putting on weight. The technique has only been tested on laboratory rats so far, and it involves de-activating a gene in the brain that produces a hormone called neuropeptide Y, which controls metabolism.

By introducing a ‘reversed’ copy of the gene, the neuropeptide Y hormones were ‘switched off’. This caused the rats to rapidly lose weight. The technique seemed to affect their metabolisms rather than their appetite, because they continued to eat the same amount. Neuropeptide Y has a similar function in the human brain and scientists believe the technique could be transferred.

However, they warned that it is unlikely to be available in the near future. Experts also point out that while a speeded-up metabolism may stop people from putting on weight, eating large amounts of bad food is still extremely unhealthy."

NetDoktor: Too much work ‘unhealthy’: 21 november

"Excessive overtime is damaging workers’ health and disrupting family life, a government survey into Britain’s workaholic culture has found. The survey, which was based on interviews with 7500 employees, 2500 employers and 250 company head offices, revealed that one in nine full-time employees worked more than 60 hours a week.

The survey also found that one in eight employees regularly works both Saturday and Sunday. Equal Opportunities Minister Margaret Hodge said the report showed that presenteeism was a greater problem in Britain than absenteeism: ‘The long hours culture is alive and kicking… We are all working too long hours and it is making us ill. That doesn’t help productivity and it certainly doesn’t support families.’"

The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Weight Training Injuries: Part 1: Diagnosing and Managing Acute Conditions: Februari 1998

"When patients present with acute weight training injuries, familiarity with the demands of the activity can help physicians get the most out of the patient history. Probable risk factors for injury include errors in technique (described in a sidebar), skeletal immaturity, and anabolic steroid abuse. Common acute injuries in weight training include sprains, strains, tendon avulsions, and compartment syndrome. Possible nonmusculoskeletal problems include retinal hemorrhage, radiculopathy, and various cardiovascular complications.

Treatment of acute musculoskeletal injuries varies, but usually includes sports medicine mainstays such as prompt RICE. Chronic weight training injuries will be described in part 2 of this series."

How we hit things like tennis balls when consciousness takes half a second to arrive:

"Benjamin Libet's famous finding that a state of consciousness takes about half a second to form - that's how long it takes the brain to complete all the processing - poses a problem for sports enthusiasts. How does anyone ever hit a ball? Anticipation is the answer - and anticipation is critical to the understanding of consciousness itself."

PsycPort: Men Aren't Immune to Eating Disorders: Midnight Gorging, Starving Or Working Out Excessively Are Signs of Trouble: 18 november

"For men, an eating disorder is more likely to be obscured by an excessive exercise regimen, say therapists who have treated men in recent years. Such men will exercise three times a day, starting with an early-morning run, a workout at the gym during lunch and, perhaps, a final session of competitive sports after work. Often, they consume large amounts of food, which drives them into further exercise in order to keep their weight down.

"We call them exercise bulimics," Markle says. "They eat large amounts of food, and instead of vomiting or (taking) laxatives, they work out every minute they get a chance. It serves the same purpose as bingeing and purging."

Forget tongue-tied, Arnold's downright tongue-bound-and-gagged whenever Mr. Vowel and Ms. Consonant meet and shake hands.

The 6th Day isn't Arnold's best effort, God knows, but it's a helluva lot better than End of Days. If you want a nostalgic reminder of what movies were like during the Reagan administration, look no further."
