"Den här vintern har jag tränat hårdare än vanligt och jag ligger före i planeringen för en gångs skull. I tävlingen i Holland i helgen lyfte jag upp en sten på 180 kilo som ingen tidigare fått upp. Det gick ganska lätt. Jag vet att jag kan göra saker som ingen annan klarar av, säger Magnus Samuelsson självsäkert."

» EurekAlert: Body's built-in computer helps recovery from sports injury: 14 oktober 1998
"Early intervention after a sports injury is essential to re-boot the body's built-in computer, which aids in stabilizing the smallest movements of muscles and joints, says the October issue of the Penn State Sports Medicine Newsletter.
The body's computer is made up of proprioceptors, sensory receptors in the joints, tendons and muscles which provide information reinforcing a person's conscious efforts to position and monitor movement of body parts. This internal guidance system helps athletes to perform in sports and above all, to avoid injuries.
When the human body senses a position change, proprioception triggers muscles to contract or relax to fit the situation. Some exercise scientists believe that this activation of reflexes to protect the joints from injury may be as important as the conscious actions taken by athletes to protect themselves."
» themestream.com: Are You Speeding To A Heart Attack? 2 juni 2000
"This reduced appetite effect is what ephedrine manufacturers are most interested in. Weight loss and weight control products are huge industries. Marketdata Enterprises reported that in 1998, we in the U.S. spent $30 billion on weight loss products and services. Diet shakes, drinks, bars and pills are hot products. Many contain ephedra.
The concern about ephedra lies in its effects on the heart and blood pressure. Increased heart rate, irregular heart beat, heart attack, elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressures and stroke are all serious concerns. Overweight consumers are more likely to have some of these conditions already. Yet, this is the target market for these products. This is obviously problematic."

"Mandrake root, powdered mummy, comb, spider web, ants, scorpions, bone, teeth, crab’s eyes, viper’s flesh, worms, and pearls. These are just a few of the ingredients from the premodern pharmacopoeia, some of which were still in use at the turn of the century. No one would question the fact that they worked as a placebo, if at all.
But how many drugs in our current pharmacopoeia also might be ineffective? We rely on double-blind placebo-controlled trials to tell us, but the answers may not always hold true with clinical experience."

» Telegraph: Death of a Cyclist: 19 juli 1997
"There is no doubt that many of the leading contenders in the 1967 Tour were taking amphetamines. According to Hoban and others, they were available over the counter in any chemist.
"People were unaware of any medical problem," Hoban recalls. "They were ill-advised, sometimes by doctors, and it was a long-established habit among the riders. There were no doping controls, or anything."
Although attempts had been made to introduce drug tests the previous year, they had been fiercely opposed by leading cyclists, notably the five-times Tour winner Jacques Anquetil, who told the newspaper France-Dimanche: "Yes, I dope myself. You would be a fool to imagine that a professional cyclist who rides 235 days a year in all temperatures and conditions can hold up without a stimulant."

Common weight training misconceptions are keeping active people from adding valuable, personalized “pumping iron” into their total fitness routine."

» Amazon.com: The Adonis Complex - The Secret Crisis of Male Body Obsession
"You see them everywhere. With their bulging arms and deltoids and pecs, not to mention their rippling abdominal muscles, they appear on magazine covers, in underwear ads, in action movies. And American men have noticed them; after a generation of being bombarded by images of idealized male physiques, men are growing increasingly insecure about their own appearance.
The authors have studied everything from bodybuilders to Playgirl centerfolds and concluded that the images presented to men and women have gotten steadily more muscular. As a result of this bombardment of pumped-up male imagery, American men have been developing eating disorders, working out to the point of obsession, and taking steroids. None of this is for health or sports performance but rather to develop a physique that matches those seen on the cover of Muscle & Fitness or in the next squat rack over.
Another consequence is a condition the authors call "muscle dysmorphia," also known as "reverse anorexia" or just "bigorexia." In this, men who are large and muscular look in the mirror and see someone who is puny and frail. So they pump iron and eat and take steroids and swell to ever-larger proportions, while being too ashamed of their bodies to take off their sweatshirts at the beach."
