BBC News: The military get mightier: 12 januari
Undrar om ett exoskelett godkänns i styrkelyftstävlingar? När man kan börja använda endoskelett (som Arnolds Terminator) får väl tävlande inte bara genomgå dopingtester utan också gå igenom metalldetektorer... Hemsidan för detta amerikanska militärprojekt. The Onion rapporterar om att "Stephen Hawking Builds Robotic Exoskeleton".
"The US military is planning to turn soldiers into supermen by fitting them with powered exoskeletons. Early work sponsored by Darpa has used pneumatic muscles or deformable magnets to power artificial limbs or suits that soldiers could wear. Trials of a Springwalker system helped its developers travel at speeds in excess of 24 km/h (15 mph)."

The Telegraph: Pumped-up Tiger Woods is fit to reign: 14 januari
"On tournament days he runs for two miles before moving on to the hard work. Those massive shoulders are no freak of nature. With free weights he runs through a series of exercises designed both to tone and develop. A quick breather and he lies on a bench and lifts some serious weights. Repeat, repeat, and... well, you've got the picture."

The Age: Schwarzenegger back in action: 19 november
"A representative from the company that insured the actor for his last film End of Days, apparently was sent to keep an eye on Schwarzenegger to determine whether his heart surgery had slowed him down.
"They sent a spy to the set of that movie," Schwarzenegger said with just a hint of anger. "She watched me for weeks, watching for any hint of exhaustion. Nobody was supposed to know who she was, but I knew who she was. So I never let up for a second.
"Finally, one night she came up to me and asked me how I could not be tired after running and jumping around until two in the morning. I smiled at her and told her that I never get tired. I told her that I love doing this and could run and jump around like this all night without getting winded. The next day she was gone and she never came back." (Via Oakland)

KansasCity: Oh, what an anxious web they weave as they await `Spider-Man': 11 januari
"Maguire has been preparing for the role since July. Although swinging from skyscraper to skyscraper through New York City will clearly be a great physical challenge, his training has differed from Schwarzenegger-style muscle-building or the Asian martial arts of such contemporary action movie hits as "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"I've done all kinds of training for flexibility and acrobatic grace," the 25-year-old actor said. "But Spider-Man is no martial artist; he's got his own style of fighting. First of all, he's so strong, if he hit regular people like that, he could seriously injure them, and he's too responsible of a man to do such a thing."

The New England Journal of Medicine: Book Review: Adonis Complex: The Secret Crisis of Male Body Obsession: 11 januari
"This interesting and provocative book describes a form of obsession in which otherwise healthy men become absorbed by compulsive exercising, eating disorders, body-image distortion, and ultimately, abuse of anabolic steroids.
In a manner analogous to the course of anorexia nervosa, the social norm of male "fitness" turns, in these sad men, into an insatiable obsession with growing "bigger" and more muscular. When exercise and dieting rituals, no matter how fanatical, fail, recourse to drugs, mostly anabolic steroids, appears to be an easy transition."
The Inquirer: A losing attitude on a weighty issue: 9 januari
"About 68 percent of all Americans who step on the scales any Jan. 1 can expect to see higher numbers, a recent survey indicates. Not to mention that we're pudgy at best to begin with. In an age of escalators, riding mowers and remote controls, 61 percent of America's adults are overweight or obese.
So, come Jan. 2, where do many people go? To the local gym. It's the busiest day of the year for the weight rooms, on the treadmills, and in the aerobics classes. The Eagle Fitness Center is no exception. It's not the region's biggest gym, not the smallest. It's simply typical. "You have a two-week period when it's nonstop," manager Chris Shoemaker said."
Evansville Courier & Press: Finding Fitness: 8 januari
"The first of the year is always exciting and crazy. But there has to be some fun and excitement all year or people will start up in January and by March 1 they’re done."
Meier said fun is the key to continuing a fitness program, and Buchta is one of many instructors across the area who focuses on making fitness enjoyable."
Philadelphia Daily News: Machines that'll get you exercised: 12 januari

PsycPort: Students struggle to balance mind, body: 11 januari

"Exercise is number one on the list," he said about the problems many students experience. "Not exercising creates problems for anxiety, depression and stress."
Yahoo! News: Good Cholesterol May Explain Why Some Live to 100: 12 januari
"While diet and exercise are key to most people's health, there have always been those lucky few who can do whatever they want and still live to 100. Now genetics research is showing why. A new study suggests that centenarians retain a naturally heart-healthy cholesterol level throughout their lives - and they pass the gift on to their children."
ABCNews: From Martial Arts to the Hulk? Ang Lee Considers Tackling Comic Book Hero: 12 januari
"Yep, Lee is in early talks to direct the comic book tale of the Incredible Hulk. According to Variety, Lee's version of the radioactive man-beast will be a big-budgeted, f/x-driven picture, set for a 2003 release. It's not yet clear who would be the lucky man to utter scientist Bruce Banner's trademark line, "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."
However, we hear Lou Ferrigno — who portrayed Banner's mean, green alter ego in the '70s TV series — is currently teaching physical fitness courses at Los Angeles' Learning Annex. Presumably, he's still in adequate shape to reprise his clothes-ripping role."

PrimaVi: Man behöver inte vara sjuk för att man är ofrisk: 12 januari
"Vårt sätt att tänka och tala om hälsa i Sverige bygger på axiomet att frisk är man så länge man inte är sjuk. Och blir man sjuk ska det sjuka behandlas bort, så att man blir frisk igen. Detta synsätt är föråldrat och otillräckligt i dagens hälso- och sjukvård. Sjukvård gör ingen människa frisk."
MWC Healthlink: Advice for the Aging Athlete:
"While age is a relative thing - the 60-year-old tennis player may be in better shape than the 20-year-old couch potato - time takes its toll on the human body in terms of physical changes. After age 30, humans start losing muscle mass and after age 40, bone mass declines.
Tendons, which connect muscles to bone, and ligaments, which hold joints together, become less elastic and are easier to tear. These changes and others affect our ability to enjoy sports as we grow older."
The Economist: Who wants to be a genius?:
"Psychologists are divided over whether genius is innate or acquired. Nobody has yet been smart enough to figure it out. Anders Ericsson, a psychologist at Florida State University, falls into the minority camp. Given ten years of deliberate practice, Dr Ericsson says, anyone should be able to attain prodigy-level performance in his discipline of choice.
Twenty years ago, Dr Ericsson tried to prove it by training some ordinary laboratory volunteers up to prodigy-level performance in a number-memory task. Average people tend to have a “digit-span” of seven—in other words they can recall a string of seven random digits after hearing it read out once. But after a year’s practice, two of his particularly dedicated subjects were able to increase their digit-spans to lengths of 80 and 100."
Zaras Gladiatorsida:
"Alla vet ju typ vilka Gladiatorerna är. Men visste ni att två nya gladiatorer är med eller att fyra av dom gamla är borttagna. Nej tänkte väl det. Den här sidan handlade nästan bara om Kim Justin förut men nu är alla Gladiatorer med. Så nu hoppas jag att ni gillar den nya förbättrade sidan."
