LA Times: Having Pig Heart Valves Doesn't Make You a Swine: 12 mars
My surgeon was none other than Dr. Vaughn A. Starnes, the same surgeon who operated on Arnold. Having a pig valve for 22 years did not make me "swinish" or "piggish." It actually gave me extra life.

In fact, Carter says Danyo's experience is like that of many people. When they start an exercise program, muscle mass will increase and mask weight loss.

Alla parter i skolan borde betänka detta och stödja eleverna när de gör kreativa, sunda val och inte sabotera deras hälsosträvan. Risken finns nämligen att med skolöverläkarnas och kommunpolitikernas agerande så skrämmer man föräldrarna och kommer i onödig konflikt med eleven - med risk att de inte äter eller äter mycket dåligt. Det kan bli konflikt både i skolan och hemma kring måltiderna.

Arbetsliv Direkt: Västerås visar att motion är lönsamt:
Det började som ett försök för två år sedan på kommunens fastighetskontor. De anställda fick motionera en timme i veckan på betald arbetstid.
Aftonbladet: ”Dagens unga är som 50-åringar”: 16 november 1999
Forskarlarm om ungdomarnas dåliga kondition De äter inte ordentligt. De vägrar gå två kilometer. Dagens tonåringar får belastningsskador och sjukdomar som normalt dyker upp först i 50-årsåldern. – En fysisk katastrof, säger sjukgymnasten Thomas Torstensson.
Aftonbladet: Stopp! Ta det lugnt på gymet, tjejer: 9 mars 2000
Blossom Tainton: Jag har stoppat flera tjejer som är träningsberoende Var femte kvinna som tränar blir träningsberoende. Det visar ny engelsk forskning. - Jag möter många träningsmissbrukare. Men det behöver inte vara av ondo. De flyr problem genom att gå till gymet. Och det ersätter beroende av annat som kan vara värre, säger Blossom Tainton, personlig tränare.
Expressen: Här gympar barnen varje dag: 23 augusti
En skola i Skåne har fått nog av alla larm om dåliga betyg och dålig hälsa. Nu blir det gympa varje dag i skolan.
Expressen: Läkare varnar: Svenska barn motionerar för lite: 14 september 1999
Barn bör motionera mera. Annars får vi snart se 30-åringar med käppar och rullatorer, varnar läkare. – Det är främst underklassens barn som är i riskzonen, säger professor Lars-Magnus Engström som vill ha mer idrott i skolan.
DN: Har kvinnan en sportslig chans?: 11 mars 1999
Tjejerna får de sämsta träningstiderna och de sämsta resurserna. På Zinkensdamm i Stockholm får damernas bandylandslag inte ens skåp. Men Annicka Pärson tror ändå att idrotten ger unga kvinnor kraft.

Journal of Applied Physiology:
Form follows function: how muscle shape is regulated by work: Mars 2000
What determines the shape, size, and force output of cardiac and skeletal muscle? Chicago architect Louis Sullivan (1856-1924), father of the skyscraper, observed that "form follows function."
Explosive-strength training improves 5-km running time by improving running economy and muscle power:
In conclusion, the present simultaneous explosive-strength and endurance training improved the 5K time in well-trained endurance athletes without changes in their O2 max. This improvement was due to improved neuromuscular characteristics that were transferred into improved VMART and running economy.
Long-term creatine intake is beneficial to muscle performance during resistance training: december 1997
Muscle PCr and strength, intermittent exercise capacity, and fat-free mass subsequently remained at a higher level in the creatine group than in the placebo group during 10 wk of detraining while low-dose creatine was continued. Finally, on cessation of creatine intake, muscle PCr in the creatine group returned to normal within 4 wk. It is concluded that long-term creatine supplementation enhances the progress of muscle strength during resistance training in sedentary females.
Modulation of whole body protein metabolism, during and after exercise, by variation of dietary protein: November 1998
The results suggest that leucine oxidation was increased by previous ingestion of an HP diet, attributable to an increase in leucine availability rather than to a stimulation of the skeletal muscle BCOADH activity.
Effect of creatine supplementation on sprint exercise performance and muscle metabolism: Maj 1998
These data demonstrated that CrS increased muscle total Cr content, but the increase did not induce an improved sprint exercise performance or alterations in anaerobic muscle metabolism.
Hormonal responses to consecutive days of heavy-resistance exercise with or without nutritional supplementation: Oktober 1998
These data indicate that protein-carbohydrate supplementation before and after training can alter the metabolic and hormonal responses to consecutive days of heavy-resistance exercise.
Effects of concentric and eccentric training on muscle strength, cross-sectional area, and neural activation: November 1996
We conclude that Ecc is more effective than Con isokinetic training for developing strength in Ecc isokinetic muscle actions and that Con is more effective than Ecc isokinetic training for developing strength in Con isokinetic muscle actions. Gains in strength consequent to Con and Ecc training are highly dependent on the muscle action used for training and testing. Muscle hypertrophy and neural adaptations contribute to strength increases consequent to both Con and Ecc training.
Length dependence of active force production in skeletal muscle: Maj 1999
joint moments produced by a muscle depend on the moment arm and the sarcomere length of the muscle. Moment arm magnitude also affects the excursion (length change) of a muscle for a given change in joint angle, and the number of sarcomeres arranged in series within a muscle fiber determines the sarcomere length change associated with a given excursion.
Influence of differing macronutrient intakes on muscle glycogen resynthesis after resistance exercise: Mars 1998
These results demonstrated that a bout of resistance exercise resulted in a significant decrease in muscle glycogen and that consumption of an isoenergetic CHO or CHO/Pro/fat formula drink resulted in similar rates of muscle glycogen resynthesis after resistance exercise. This suggests that total energy content and CHO content are important in the resynthesis of muscle glycogen.
Early events in stretch-induced muscle damage: December 1999
We conclude that sarcomere length instabilities provide the most comprehensive explanation of the early consequences of eccentric exercise.
Concurrent resistance and endurance training influence basal metabolic rate in nondieting individuals: Augusti 1998
These data indicate that, although RT alone will increase BMR and muscular strength, and ET alone will increase aerobic power and decrease BF, CT will provide all of these benefits but to a lesser magnitude than RT and ET after 10 wk of training.
Muscle metabolites and performance during high-intensity, intermittent exercise: Maj 1998
The decline in exercise performance does not appear to be related to a reduction in muscle glycogen. Instead, it may be caused by reduced CP availability, increased H+ concentration, impairment in SR function, or some other fatigue-inducing agent.
Muscle quality. II. Effects of strength training in 65- to 75-yr-old men and women: Januari 1999
Thus, although older men appear to have a greater capacity for absolute strength and muscle mass gains than older women in response to ST, the relative contribution of neuromuscular and hypertrophic factors to the increase in strength appears to be similar between genders.
A moderate glycemic meal before endurance exercise can enhance performance:
We conclude that eating a meal with a high dietary fiber content and moderate glycemic index 45 min before prolonged moderately intense exercise significantly enhances exercise capacity.
Effect of glucose supplement timing on protein metabolism after resistance training: Juni 1997
This suggests that CHO supplementation (1 g/kg) immediately and 1 h after resistance exercise can decrease myofibrillar protein breakdown and urinary urea excretion, resulting in a more positive body protein balance.
Research in the exercise sciences: Where do we go from here?: Januari 2000
The goal of this article is to provide a perspective on how research involving the acute and chronic effects of exercise (referred to as "exercise sciences") on the structure and function of organs systems will evolve in the next century. Within the last 30 years, exercise-related research has rapidly transitioned from an organ to a subcellular/molecular focus.
Muscle fiber hypertrophy, hyperplasia, and capillary density in college men after resistance training: November 1996
In conclusion, resistance training resulted in hypertrophy of the total muscle CSA and fiber areas with no change in estimated fiber number, whereas capillary changes were proportional to muscle fiber growth.
Effect of leucine metabolite -hydroxy--methylbutyrate on muscle metabolism during resistance-exercise training: November 1996
In conclusion, supplementation with either 1.5 or 3 g HMB/day can partly prevent exercise-induced proteolysis and/or muscle damage and result in larger gains in muscle function associated with resistance training.
Postexercise protein-carbohydrate and carbohydrate supplements increase muscle glycogen in men and women: December 1997
We conclude that postexercise CHO and CHO-Pro-Fat nutritional supplements can increase glycogen resynthesis to a greater extent than Pl for both men and women
Caffeine, performance, and metabolism during repeated Wingate exercise tests: Oktober 1998
These data demonstrate no ergogenic effect of caffeine on power output during repeated bouts of short-term, intense exercise. Furthermore, there was no indication of increased anaerobic metabolism after Caf ingestion with the exception of an increase in NH3 concentration.
An oral essential amino acid-carbohydrate supplement enhances muscle protein anabolism after resistance exercise: Februari 2000
We conclude that essential amino acids with carbohydrates stimulate muscle protein anabolism by increasing muscle protein synthesis when ingested 1 or 3 h after resistance exercise.

PubMed: The importance of clinical research: the role of thermogenesis in human obesity: Mars
Instead, the component that is most variable and that accounts for the variability in weight gain during overfeeding is the energy expended in physical activity. This component of TEE deserves greater attention in future studies.

Nutrition.org: Long-Term High Protein Intake Does Not Increase Oxidative Stress in Rats:
The maximum dietary protein intake that does not cause adverse effects in a healthy population is uncertain. We tested whether a high protein intake enhances oxidative stress. Adult rats were adapted to different casein-based diets containing either an adequate (13.8%; AP), medium (25.7%; MP), or high (51.3%; HP) level of crude protein; a fourth group received a HP diet but no RRR--tocopherol acetate (HP-toc).
Long-term intake of high protein diets did not increase variables of oxidative stress, in contrast to our initial hypothesis. An unexpected finding was that adequate protein feeding (AP) may in fact induce oxidative stress.
Sociological Research Online: 'Fitness Gyms and the Local Organization of Experience': 20 september 1999
One of the peculiarities of fitness gyms is the succession of people who try and follow a training programme and are not able to stick to it. Based on ethnographic research I try to account for this phenomenon.
Fitness work-out asks for the demonstration of a particular kind of desire: each client can and must learn to concentrate only on him or herself in the attempt to improve his or her own exercise performance. Elaborating on my fieldwork, I propose that the more participants in fitness measure themselves against each other and a fantasized body ideal the less will be their capacity to continue attending the gym regularly.
