Svensk idrott öppnar dörren till de omdiskuterade höghöjdshusen. Efter att under sju år ha varit motståndare till träning i höghöjdshus ändrar nämligen Riks-idrottsstyrelsen (RS) nu uppfattning.

Vad har fått er att ändra uppfattning? - Det tyngsta skälet är att det inte framkommit något som tyder på att metoden är farlig. För sju år sedan var det hela nytt, man visste inte om det fanns några hälsorisker förknippade med det här och med den osäkerheten kunde vi inte acceptera metoden.

The Dungeon had no fancy equipment. No Universal or Paramount machines and, of course, Nautilus was still nothing but a seashell since we're talking '60s here. There was no daylight in the Dungeon, either. Lighting was provided by four rows of overhead bulbs.

Benches weren't padded. Splinters were picked out in the shower. Clothesline served as cables, there wasn't even a hack or leg press machine and most of the stuff teetered on rusty nails and bolts. But, oh, the bodies that came out of the Dungeon!

"Den för doping avslöjade skidvärldsmästaren Mika Myllyläs "testamente" är en märklig läsning, en blandning av ånger och ömklighet. Han lär vara religiös och säger sig tro att detta var Guds vilja. Förmodligen avser han därmed själva avslöjandet. Tyvärr finns det en tvetydighet i hans uttalande.

IronOnline: Hugo on Weight Training while Pregnant:

It has been determined, after much research has been done in this area, that remaining active during pregnancy offers several benefits to the mother and to the future newborn as well.

The key to reaping out such benefits is to adjust your exercise program in order to make it safe for yourself and your baby during this period and to keep in mind that the goal of exercising during this period is to maintain your present level of fitness, not to improve.

"All too often athletes are looking for a food or diet that will increase their performance "during competition". This is a misguided approach. The key role for nutritional intervention is during the training period.

Nutrition will have the greatest impact on "performance" if it is used as an adaptive facilitator after appropriately periodized training sessions rather than as a magic potion. This must be done on a consistent basis.

Shawn Ray: The Knockout: 7 mars

"Once in a while, we as athletes feel like training is the last thing we want to do. It's cold outside, it's raining or snowing and then we pick up the magazine from last month or pop in the Mr. Olympia video to see what want from our training, as we try and find excuses not to go to the gym.

While we are making those excuses somewhere in this world the sun is shining and our competitors are gaining the upper hand while kicking some serious ass in the gym.

The Metabolic Diet:

"I've been researching and writing on all aspects of training, diet and nutrition for over 35 years. In fact my Anabolic Diet written for bodybuilders was the first cycling ketogenic diet book out there. But it was meant for the competitive bodybuilder and for the sake of simplicity it didn't take into account the proven gene-diet interactions, and as such the differences in our ability to efficiently handle the use of fat as a primary energy source, or the effects of carb intake on both dietary and body fat oxidation.

The Metabolic Diet addresses these deficiencies and much more including why, how and when to take certain nutritional supplements for the best anabolic, anticatabolic and fat burning effects. The Metabolic Diet is the only diet and nutrition book you need.

Brinkzone: What's in your Creatine?:

"At this time there are probably four-five companies large enough to mass produce creatine for the sports nutrition market. These companies in turn sell their product in huge bulk amounts to various distributors around the world.

Though there are various other companies, for this article we will basically concern ourselves with these five major producers which probably comprise 80-90% of the creatine production market.

Can Understanding and Accepting Genetic Limitations Be Empowering?:
As is true in any human endeavor, there are simply vast individual differences in the ability that people have to respond to different forms of exercise.

Strangely enough, while we readily accept that these individual differences prevail and are the defining characteristics in different athletic pursuits, many of us have found it hard to accept that this is certainly the case in bodybuilding.

Stop Undermining Your Own Progress!:
As practiced around the world, resistance training is one of the few activities where people act in ways that directly undermine the goals they are trying to reach.

In the name of making progress, the sad irony is that virtually all the tactics that are used do not help progress, they actually undermine progress.

These tactics are largely promoted by mass media publications but in the defense of magazines, the tactics have a long, long history in gym lore. The magazines are only spreading the lore.

This article counters myths and misperceptions about women and weight training and makes the case that in most instances the training programs for women and men will be virtually identical.

The Most Anabolic Diet - What About Just Eating Real Food?:
Bodybuilding, fitness, and other training magazines derive a great deal of their profits from supplement ads.

In many cases, the corporation owning the magazine also owns a supplement company or the overall corporation has spun off other corporations producing, marketing, and distributing supplements. So, the magazine may glean profits from it's own products and from the ads of other corporations.

Going Slow: Facts & Fictions:
If you review a few of the articles on this site, you'll see that I endorse and like training using slower repetitions. Over the years, very few people have trained this way and it's both gratifying and eerie to see the great interest recently focused on resistance training with slower reps in such publications as Newsweek and the Washington Post.

Unfortunately, it seems that this recent attention has not only brought this training approach to a wide audience, but also in the process has distorted some issues and polarized opinions about using slower repetitions.

Supertraining: Supplements or Sensible Training?: 19 februari

Mel C. Siff: The typical hysteria generated by recent reports on the alleged risks of taking supplemental creatine has masked an important issue regarding the use of all 'ergogenic aids' in general, namely that most supplements may not be necessary or certainly not in the quantities being used by hopeful athletes and bodybuilders.

One needs to spend a lot more time experimenting with different training methods in an attempt to know oneself very well and perfect a long-term, variable training program which suits you according to feedback that you learn to recognise from your own body and mind. Only then should you consider adding the variable of ergogenics and even then, doing so in small quantities that allow you once again to carefully assess their impact upon you.

Naval Health Research Center Publications and Reports:

The Effects of a Three-week Adaptation to a Low Carbohydrate/ High Fat Diet on Metabolism and Cognitive Performance:
One of the principal metabolic adaptations to endurance training is an increase in the muscle's utilization of fat. This study investigated several components of metabolism during a 3-week adaptation to a low (7% to 9%) carbohydrate/high (73% to 75%) fat diet (LCD) in man.

Effects of Chromium Picolinate on Body Composition:
At the end of 16 weeks, the group as a whole had lost a small amount of weight and body fat; however, the chromium group failed to show a significantly greater reduction in either percent body fat or body weight, or a greater increase in lean body mass, than did the placebo group. It was concluded that chromium picolinate was ineffective in enhancing body fat reduction in this group.

The effects of creatine supplementation on short-term exercise performance of U.S. Navy SEALs:
"Five days of Cr supplementation at 20 g/d had no significant effect (p > 0.1) on body composition, total body water, blood lactate, or OC performance time. The small effects on performance seen in some laboratory studies with Cr supplementation do not appear to carry over to field-related tasks conducted in an operational setting."

Svensk Idrott: Tidningen Svensk Idrott

Färgrik måltid - bättre än tillskott:
Kolhydratladdning är ett begrepp de flesta idrottare känner till. Men kolhydrater är inte bara små energibomber. Michael Svensson, doktorand i fysiologi vid Karolinska Institutet, vill informera om en mindre känd egenskap. Kolhydraten som soldat i det antioxidativa försvarssystemet.

Rickards testmetod hittar den svaga länken:
Ingen kedja är starkare än dess svagaste länk. Men vilken är den svaga länken? Många idrottare famlar i mörkret. Nu kan dock svagheterna kartläggas med hjälp av ett nytt testinstrument, Fysprofilen.

Idrotten på väg mot framtiden:
Någon framtidsforskare lär ha sagt följande: "Den som inte är vilsen i dag är inte välinformerad". Är det just vilsenhet som präglar den svenska idrottsrörelsen i dag? Vilsenhet inför den nya tiden. Inför unga människors attityder, värderingar och beteenden.

Dopad mot sin vilja av kostpreparat:
Jonas Emanuelsson riskerade två års avstängning för doping. – Lita aldrig på kostpreparat. Det höll på att slå min cykelkarriär i spillror. Idag är Jonas friad från dopingmisstankar.

RF täpper till luckan i dopingreglerna:
Nu tänker RF:s dopingkommission sätta stopp för bruket av kostpreparat som omvandlas till testosteron eller syntetiska anabola steroider i kroppen.

En lektion i målsättningens ädla konst:
I Tränarskolans första artikel delar Catarina Bergström vid Bosöns Elitidrottscentrum med sig av sina erfarenheter i målsättningens ädla konst. Läs och inspireras av den så kallade EPA-metoden.

Så testar du formen:
Har träningen givit något resultat, eller står du och stampar? Många tränar utan att veta vilket. För den som vill ha objektiva fakta finns ett antal tester att tillgå.

Energibalans - idrottarens kostregel nr 1:
Sveriges Olympiska Kommitté kommer snart ut med nya, omarbetade kostrekommendationer. Dietisten Agneta Andersson har varit med och utarbetat riktlinjerna. Den vanliga maten, inte kosttillskotten, står i centrum.

"Styrka är bra, acceleration är allt":
Muskelstyrka är en viktig egenskap i de flesta idrotter. Men hur tränar man egentligen för att bli större, starkare, explosivare, uthålligare? Vad döljer sig bakom begrepp som snabbstyrka och excentrisk styrka? Tränarskolan reder ut begreppen i styrketräningsdjungeln.

Snabb, stark eller uthållig?:
Vid all träning ska du tänka igenom varför du tränar, vad träningen syftar till. Vill du bli stark eller snabb? Vilken typ av snabbhet är det i så fall du behöver? Eller är det uthållighet som är det viktigaste?

Kämpa avslappnat:
Det är mycket som undgår även de skarpaste tränarögon. En spänd skuldra, ett darrande långfinger, en krampaktig underarm. Men som tur är finns instrument med förmågan att avläsa vad som händer i kroppens mikrokosmos. En liten apparat som avslöjar oönskad muskelaktivitet. Minsta möjliga ansträngning för mesta möjliga kraft, så lyder parollen.

Vägen tillbaka efter SKADA:
Skadade idrottare som trots protesterande kroppar kämpar vidare, finns det på alla nivåer. Speciellt smart är det dock inte. Vägen tillbaka efter skada är ämnet för detta nummers Tränarskola.

Allt fler specialförbund lever på lånade pengar:
Nio specialidrottsförbund har så dålig ekonomi att de måste leva på kredit från Riksidrottsförbundet (RF). — Läget är allvarligt, säger Hans Hellquist, ledamot i riksidrottsstyrelsen (RS) med övergripande ansvar för idrottens ekonomifrågor.

Allt för publiken - Regeländringar och underhållning lockar nya grupper:
Godisregn, artistuppträdanden, fyrverkerier, cheerleaders, tävlingar – publikunderhållning har blivit allt viktigare för att locka åskådare till idrotten. Ändå är vi bara i början av idrottens "jippofiering" . – I framtiden kan jag mycket väl tänka mig multi-arrangemang där idrotten kopplas till artistuppträdanden och regisseras så att det blir maximalt spännande för publiken, säger Jan Lindroth, professor i idrottshistoria.

Idrotten en ny religion:
Det finns många olika bilder av idrotten i framtiden.  Seminarieserien är ett samarbete mellan Riksidrottsförbundet och regeringen och ett resultat av idrottspropositionen "En idrottspolitik för 2000-talet". Filip Wijkström, forskare och doktor på Handelshögskolan i Stockholm, gav själv flera bilder som senare flitigt diskuterades mellan det församlade idrottsfolket.

Tröttare i knoppen än i kroppen:
Kvinnor blir "psykosocialt övertränade". Män fysiologiskt. Det visar en färsk studie på landets samtliga riksidrottsgymnasier. Resultatet aktualiserar frågan om skillnader mellan manligt och kvinnligt idrottsutövande.

Två klubbar nappade på mirakelprodukter:
I ett säljbrev uppmanar Svenska cykel-förbundet sina klubbar och distrikt att medverka i pyramidförsäljning av hälsoprodukter utan dokumenterad effekt. – Det finns inga moraliska hinder i detta, tycker cykelförbundets generalsekreterare, Björn Mattson.
