• Profile: Alexandra Bernardin ... in her own words:
  As a competitive gymnast, my career for elite level competition was limited because of my age. I only started competing at 14 while most girls retire at 16. I continued until the ripe old age of 20. Having been active all my life in various disciplines, I decided to take up aerobics and hip-hop/house dancing. This satisfied me for a while but I needed more of a challenge. I needed the thrill and excitement of competition but I didn’t know where I was going to find it.

  Physical fitness is not only an important part of my life but also a way of life and stems from many different sources. I love leaving all other cares at the door when I enter the gym, watching my sweat fall to floor as I pound away at the step mill, seeing my muscles contract as I curl the dumbbell, feeling spent after a strenuous work out, getting an occasional compliment on my physique and most of all feeling in control of my body.

• Koffein og efedrin øger den anaerobe arbejdsevne:
  Det er kendt at koffein og efedrin påvirker præstationsevnen i forskellige sammenhænge. Begge stoffer er da også på dopinglisten - koffein dog kun i form af en grænseværdi der ikke må overskrides. I dette forsøg kiggede man lidt nærmere på de specifikkke effekter af de to stoffer i forhold til intenst anaerobt arbejde.

  På trods af at opvarmning har stor betydning for præstationsevnen og skadesrisikoen, er det en træningsfaktor vi ofte forsømmer. Denne artikel fortæller hvorfor opvarmning er vigtigt, samt hvilke retningslinier man bør følge når man varmer op.

Kigger man f.eks. på vægtløftning, styrkeløft, bodybuilding eller atletik kan man se, at der anvendes ret forskellige træningsprincipper. Sådan bør det også være, da et træningsprogram altid vil være afhængigt af formålet med træningen samt den enkeltes forudsætninger. Dette kan virke forvirrende, men med hjælp fra forskningen er det heldigvis muligt at udpege nogle generelle træningsmetoder som med garanti er effektive.

Thesis 2001: What are the evidence based facts about anabolic steroid use?:

This thesis " What are the evidence based facts about anabolic steroid use ?" is mainly a literature study of already published material. Though it would have been interesting to conduct research with volunteers, this is not possible due to the time, the costs, and not to mention the ethical aspects of such a study.

We chose the theme anabolic steroids for our final examination assignment for several reasons; we plan to become physiotherapists working closely with sports people, and we believe it will be a issue we will probably encounter in our jobs.

Food Ingredients Online: Nutraceuticals will Compensate for Milk Protein Market Share Losses to Soya: 18 september

Over the forecast period, the decline in demand for caseinates, means soya will begin to erode this market position. But, by 2006, the whey protein market value will outgrow that of the caseinates and compensate for their decline.

Dr Squat: Psychological Studies for Bodybuilding Success:

You've gotta believe. You've gotta believe in yourself, in your talents and capabilities, in your goals and all you hope to achieve, and in your methods for achieving them. The key to understanding what your mind holds in store for you is a simple realization. Realize that within you is all the power you need to succeed both in training and in competition.

Within you is all the potential for success. Within you is the brain power of an infinitely superior person, physically, spiritually and mentally. Once you make this realization -- that your mind holds a vast wealth of knowledge, information, control, power, ability and potential -- you can start to tap it. You can delve into your own secret depths and find out what you're really made of.
