Svensk artikel Katrineholms-Kuriren: Kampen mot gladiatorerna: 25 november

"Katrineholmaren Marie Westman tog det som en kul grej. Den inställningen tog henne ända till Gladiatorerna."

Engelsk artikel Muscle Beach Episode 13: "Grab that Lean Body" Premiering TONIGHT November 26, 2000 @ 8:00 PM US EST (special day).

Engelsk artikel The Wall Street Journal: Webloggers Try to Filter Out Information Excess of the Net: 39 oktober

"Combining the personal perspective of a journal with the vast databank of cyberspace, a good weblog can take you in a hundred different directions in just a few minutes. Compelling and interactive, it represents the most successful new literary form of the Internet Age.

The growing popularity of the format underscores a paradox of these information-saturated times: the need to give people quick, comprehensive access to diverse topics while helping them to delve into detail at any moment. Weblogs' power to captivate also demonstrates why human beings should remain in the loop even as online publishers increasingly seek to "personalize" information with automated systems.

A weblog is much more than a list of Web bookmarks, but the linking element is crucial. Many people post online journals devoted mostly to chronicling the mundane events of their daily lives, dear-diary style. True webloggers don't tell you much about themselves directly. Instead, they reveal themselves through the links they choose." (Registration krävs för att komma åt artikeln)

Engelsk artikel Bill Dobbins: The NPC Fitness Nationals 2000 report and observations:

"I have written before that I am rarely able to predict whom the judges are going to select in a fitness contest. I think this has never been more the case than it was at the Manhattan Center for the 2000 Nationals.

Not there weren't any fitness competitors who seemed outstanding. On the contrary, the difficulty is that so many of them look so good, have great figures, pretty faces and perform excellent routines that it seems impossible to choose among them on any kind of an objective level."

Svensk artikel Dala Demokraten: Djupa orsaker till anorexi: 25 november

"Anorexi och bulimi beror varken på samhällets skönhetsideal eller problem i familjen. Det har djupare orsaker att flickor och ibland även pojkar svälter sig. Det menar Mia Andersson, ordförande i Svenska familjeterapiföreningen. - Anorektiker har en väldigt negativ självbild och saknar framtidstro, säger hon."

Svensk artikel Falu Kuriren: Duktiga barn - en riskgrupp för ätstörningar: 25 november

"Så kallade A-barn tillhör riskgruppen för att få ätstörningar. - De som inte blir glada för sina femmor i skolbetyget ska man ha ögonen på, säger psykologen Mia Andersson, som föreläste i Falun i går."

One in seven women say that it is actually easier to get such health information from a Web site than from their own physicians."

Engelsk artikel NetDoctor: Thin fashion: 26 november

"The Government’s drive to remove anorexic images from the pages of teenage magazines has had no effect, eating disorder charities have claimed. Skinny models and thin fashion has been blamed for driving many of these youngsters to anorexia or bulimia."

Svensk artikel Dagens IT: Dr Dator ställer säkrare diagnos: 20 november

"Överbelastade läkare hinner inte ta del av den allt mer tilltagande ström av nya medicinska forskarrön. ProHospital, det digitala sjukvårdsystemet, ska råda bot på detta."

Svensk artikel DN: Lidingös tuffaste tjejer redo för Matchen: 26 november

"Den 8 december smäller det. Då kommer Ladykillers från Gångsätraskolan med full kraft att kasta sig över tjejlaget Hooligans från Hersby. Alla i skolan tänker på Matchen. Ingen annanstans är amerikansk fotboll hetare just nu än på Lidingö."

Svensk artikel Arbetarbladet: Två år - domen står fast. Aanes advokat Are Johnsen: Det är ett rent justitiemord: 26 november

"Fritz Aanes fick ingen strafflindring av Internationella brottningsförbundet, FILA. Dopningsavstängningen på två år står fast. - Det är ett justitiemord. Bara en av FILA-representanterna hade satt sig in i saken, dundrar Are Johnsen, Fritz advokat, som nu tänker driva ärendet vidare."

Svensk artikel Dagens IT: LocusMedicus.net sparkar personal: 24 november

"Den Internetbaserade informationstjänsten för läkare, LocusMedicus.net, säger sammanlagt upp 17 personer på kontoren i Sverige. Detta på grund av IT-företaget MDinTouchs uppköp av företaget i förmiddags, uppger nyhetsbrevet Rapidus."

Engelsk artikel Rowing Technology Page: Perfect coordination is the prime factor:

"For many people, the main attraction in rowing is the permanent quest for the optimum combination of force, endurance and perfect coordination. Experience shows that coordination is the most difficult to train of these three factors.

It is, therefore, surprising that so many rowers should spend quite a lot of their precious time improving their strength and/or endurance using equipment which induces a coordination pattern between the main muscle groups that is absolutely detrimental to good rowing. It is the intention of this article to indicate how improve this situation."

Engelsk artikel SceSports: Win Günther Schlierkamp's 2000 Olympia Medal

Engelsk artikel Dave Draper: Plateaus: Fact or fiction?:

"Plateaus, fact or fiction? No matter. Our job is to kill the ugly beast, real or imaginary, and sustain the process of building muscle, strength and shape at an agreeable pace... if not at the speed of light. I personally believe that plateaus or sticking points are the abominations of un-seasoned muscle builders, whose patience and understanding have not wholly developed."

Engelsk artikel Fitness Connection - Your Online Connection for Health and Fitness:

"Fitness Connection is the Internet's premier portal for information on weight loss, diets, bodybuilding, clothing, equipment, fitness models, personal trainers, nutrition, and supplements for both beginners and advanced athletes."

Engelsk artikel peakhealth: A Healthy Fat That Can Help You Lose Weight: 24 november

"Over the years we have been inundated with the mantra that fats are bad for the heart and waist. While saturated fat raise cholesterol levels and are associated with increased rates of coronary heart disease and cancer, that doesn’t mean that all fats are bad. One type of special dietary fat that may actually be the diamond in the rough is conjugated linoleic acid, otherwise known as CLA."

"The Aerobics Page has a growing list thousands of aerobic patterns from instructors all over the world! Browse through them, and submit your own."

Engelsk artikel OnHealth: When the Workout Isn't Working: 13 november

"Now and then, everybody has a day like this: You walk into the weight room feeling like the King of All Barbells but end up performing more like the Queen Mum. Dumbbells you handled easily in the last workout seem to have put on weight.

Rather than mastering the iron, you feel as if your body is three-quarters rust. What makes your muscles go from 60 to zero so suddenly and unexpectedly? We found eight possible reasons and eight solutions. Put these into practice and you may go the rest of your life without having another bad day at the gym."

Engelsk artikel CBS HealthWatch: A Trip to the Gym May be Deadly for Some: 14 november

"Although leading an active lifestyle keeps your heart healthy, going to the gym for an overzealous workout may be a risky move for many people with heart disease."

Engelsk artikel Washington Post: Diving Into an Unlikely Sport: 5 oktober

"The game of underwater hockey combines the roughhousing of rugby with the puck-skimming smoothness of shuffleboard. And it's all played at the bottom of the pool. The air, of course, is at the top of the pool--four to eight feet above the playing field.

No one shouts, because shouting uses up valuable air. Indeed, the sheer act of moving hockey into the pool also, strangely, moves it into the realm of Zen.

Kendall Banks advises players to "control everything you can control. Every muscle you're not using, you have to relax, so you don't use up oxygen. A lot of actions--like gritting your teeth--are just wasting air." He adds: "I'm not saying this game isn't played intensely. But there's a balance between getting fired up and staying relaxed."

Engelsk artikel New York Times: Debate Over Milk: Time to Look at Facts: 26 september

"The popular claim that "cows' milk is for calves," not people, begs an intriguing dietary question: on what grounds can it be said that any cultivated food — be it wheat, rice, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, chicken or pork — was meant to be eaten by people?

Humans began as hunter-gatherers, eating whatever they could find that grew naturally. No edible specifically evolved to feed people. Rather, people learned to cultivate edible plant and animal foods to assure a more constant food supply."

Engelsk artikel Detroit News: Lazy and loving it: 26 september

If it makes our daily lives easier, Americans probably own it. Is that a good thing? "Now we blow the leaves versus raking them, we ride on the lawnmower versus pushing the lawnmower," Keteyian says. "There's a relation between physical inactivity and colon cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity ... the list gets pretty long." He adds: "I'm sure there's a sociology that convenience is better. But maybe it's not better."

Engelsk artikel Washington Post: Hard Evidence: 26 september

"In the past decade, a multi-billion-dollar industry has sprung up devoted to preventing, diagnosing and treating osteoporosis--thin, brittle bones that tend to fracture easily. That's remarkable for a condition most people had never heard of 15 years ago.

These skeptics acknowledge that osteoporosis is a serious and potentially devastating medical problem--one that is likely to increase in incidence and importance as more Americans live longer. But they say it has also been the subject of considerable hype and confusion fueled by drug companies and other firms pushing products and by some advocates seeking to raise awareness of their cause."

"A study of more than 4,000 Danish men indicates that regular joggers are not only unlikely to experience a fatal heart attack during their runs, they also are less likely than non-runners to die of any cause."

Engelsk artikel USA Today: Wrestling with the low carb diet: 11 juli

"What does a big-muscle professional wrestler eat? Anything he wants.

But after living that punch line for a few years, World Championship Wrestling star Marcus "Buff" Bagwell found a better answer, at least for him: the individualized low-carbohydrate diet."

Engelsk artikel Salon: Siesta science: 18 september

"Can napping improve the world and your health?"

Engelsk artikel The Village Voice: Olympic Female Athletes Are Disrobing for the Cameras at a Record Pace: 30 augusti

"A funny thing happened on the way to Sydney. While a record number of female athletes prepare to compete in a record number of sporting events, a disproportionate number of them are taking their clothes off along the way.

They're everywhere, these proud offspring of Title IX—strong, competitive, and practically naked. Not content with risqué poses for a slew of national magazines, Olympic high jumper Amy Acuff organized her fellow track athletes for a seminude calendar. Star swimmer Jenny Thompson stood topless for a glowing Sports Illustrated profile. Hell, a whole bunch of Australian women's teams have posed for their own naughty calendars (take that, Brandi Chastain!)."

Engelsk artikel Max Sports & Fitness Magazine:

Dip King Tony Diglio:

Tony has become the uncrowned dip king, recently setting his personal record of one wide-grip dip done in strict form - elbow and forearm creating a 90-degree-or-less angle, and pecs below the bar - with, gulp, 350 pounds tied around his waist.

David Paul Art Photography Exhibit:

See and be seen was the order of the evening, as 200 bodybuilders, fans, and photographic art collectors jammed Los Angeles’ Paris Photo Labs for the debut of David Paul’s art photography retrospective. (Aha, så detta är vad Barbar-brodern gör nuförtiden.)

6 Lower body stretches that really work:

When you have no other time than what it takes to stretch the legs, don't assume that it won't be worthwhile. Sure, it's better to stretch the entire body, but if you have just enough time to stretch something, make sure it's in the lower body region, because it will be more beneficial to the daily physical demands placed on your body than any other thing.

Finding the best stretches can be a challenge. Here's a list of the 6 best lower body stretches around.

Battledome's "The Commander" Christian Boeving:

"I was certainly not the only boy in my town to think that Arnold was the greatest thing since the invention of the bicycle," recalls Boeving. "But I don’t think most other kids in town took it quite as far as I did." Then again, who would need a role model more than a fatherless boy?

"When I saw Conan the Barbarian I pretty much knew Arnold’s characters and his life held some sort of message for me," notes Boeving. "I wasn’t sure of what all those messages were, but I knew that being a leader and taking charge of your life was part and parcel of the message."

Kevin Saunders, a life less ordinary:

If you're not familiar with the name " Kevin Saunders", chances are you may not be familiar with one of America's greatest success stories. No, he's not another Bill Gates taking the northwest and micro chip world by storm. And he's not the last guy to answer all questions right on " Millionaire" or outlast the rest of the bunch on the television show "Survivor". He keeps company with presidents. He hangs with action heroes; he's even created a few in his time. Best of all, he's become a living example of what it is to overcome the worst odds and end the one inspired.

Fitness Fats Improve Performance By Dr. Udo Erasmus:

Fitness fats improve performance because they improve the capacity of our liver and kidneys for detoxification.

The Science of Salads:

It's not just a salad. The right selection of vegetables can actually become a potent weapon in the fight against aging, cancer, and fatigue. While you can get more vitamins and minerals straight out of a bottle, wellness researchers have discovered that the phytonutrients and phytochemicals in vegetables m ay have even greater roles in health and prevention.

Ending Your Procrastination Habit:

Stratagies to command mega-workout action, so you start really building the physique you want.

Training with Carpal Tunnel:

Having CTS doesn't mean you can't train. You just have to understand the condition and be a little creative.

It's kind of difficult to train you upper body without gripping forcefully, so why not bypass the whole joint?

Metabolic Secrets for Staying Slim by Dr. Udo Erasmus:

Many people in midlife notice that while they may be eating less, the pounds are piling on, the belt needs another notch and the get-up-and-go seems to have got up and left.

In midlife there is a new set of rules. Our metabolism - how your body converts food into energy and then burns that energy as calories - is slowing down.

Fighting the Flu & Colds At the Gym:

"While you’ll probably be exposed to a larger number of people at the gym than at work, that doesn’t necessarily mean your chances for getting the flu or a cold at the gym are higher," says Kinzat. In fact you can take some steps at the gym to minimize exposure which would seem downright weird at work."

Combatting Joint Pain:

Do your shoulders ache so much that heavy presses are too painful to complete? You may be suffering from the effects of arthritis and osteoporosis, degenerative diseases that limit flexibility, exercise, comfort, and even the ability to stand up and walk normally.

Ultimate Pro Wrestling:

Aaron Baker’s burgeoning pro wrestling career is a hit. The bodybuilding great has been appearing on The Ultimate Pro Wrestling circuit, preparing for his leap off the ropes into the WWF.

Engelsk artikel NetDoctor: Bitter taste equals good health: 25 november

"Foods we dislike are the ones best for us according to new research. Bitter, sour and acrid foods like sprouts, grapefruit, dark chocolate, greens and red wine contain ‘phyto-nutrients’ that improve our health and have been linked with cancer prevention. However, the food industry has neglected these types of foods in favour of sweeter tasting products."

Engelsk artikel NetDoctor: More food bad: 25 november

"Eating less food may lead to a longer life, according to a new study. American researchers have found that monkeys fed a diet with 70 per cent fewer calories than normal are less likely to develop degenerative diseases, such as cancer. The tests follow research into fruit flies, worms and mice that showed up to a 40-fold increase in longevity as a result of a restricted diet.

The experiments with the rhesus monkeys, however, are the first to include animals with longer life spans. The scientists carrying out the research claim their experiments could one day provide an insight into the processes involved in human ageing."

Danska artikel Politiken: Doping:

"I 1967 kollapser og dør den engelske cykelrytter Tommy Simpson på toppen af Mont Ventoux under Tour de France. Obduktionen viser, at han har taget amfetamin.

I 1988 vinder Ben Johnson olympisk guld og sætter verdensrekord i 100 meter løb. Han bliver frataget begge dele, da en dopingtest viser anabolske steroider.

I 1998 bliver hele Festina-holdet udelukket fra Tour de France på grund af systematisk brug af EPO. Midlerne skifter, nye metoder kommer til, men målet er det samme: Hurtigere, højere, længere og en stor pose penge.

Den med det bedste medicinskab vinder."

Den 29-årige Anita Christensen fra Randers slog ungareren Kristina Krek på point, efter at de to boksere havde gået alle 10 omgange af en fight, der begyndte noget sløvt, men senere blev hårdtslående og intens. Efter de 10 omgange kunne den tidligere fotomodel fra Randers dog løfte hænder og europamesterbælte over hovedet og modtage knus fra promotor Anders Vester, træner og kæreste."

Engelsk artikel New York Times: Scrawn to Brawn: Men Get Muscles, or Pray for Them: 20 augusti

"There's no question that there's a much greater emphasis on male body image than there was a generation ago," said Dr. Harrison G. Pope Jr., one of the book's three authors and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Back in the iconographically innocent era of Woodstock, Pope said, "men didn't go to the gym five days a week." They didn't employ personal trainers, measure themselves in terms of body fat percentage or spend $2 billion a year on commercial gym memberships, and $2 billion more on home exercise equipment."

Engelsk artikel CNN: 'Fat switch' makes cells turn to flab, study says: 10 augusti

"A protein that switches fat cell formation on and off may help explain some of the causes of both obesity and the increasing flabbiness that comes with age, researchers said on Thursday.

The protein stops cells from becoming fat cells when it is on. When it is absent, or produced at low levels, fat cells are born, a team at the University of Michigan reported."

Engelsk artikel Newswise: Healthy Weight Pyramid: 23 november

"There is no Mayo Clinic Diet. But, there is a new Mayo Clinic Healthy Food Pyramid.' This is the first food pyramid developed to encourage weight loss, weight maintenance and long term health.

Engelsk artikel Newswise: Calorie-Restiction Seems to Prevent Cancers in Monkeys: 22 november

"Here's a fact that people stuffed with Thanksgiving stuffing might well contemplate: According to studies of short-lived species such as worms, flies, and mice, slashing normal calorie consumption by one-third can extend an animal's natural life span and reduce its odds of diseases such as cancer. Researchers monitoring monkeys on calorie-restricted diets have also seen signs that this strategy can benefit long-lived primates and, presumably, people."

"Danmarks mest solgte receptpligtige slankemiddel, Letigen, er, efter offentliggørelsen af en ny amerikansk undersøgelse, kommet under alvorlig mistanke for at kunne føre til død og alvorlige skader hos vilkårlige patienter. Undersøgelsen, som er offentliggjort af The New England Journal of Medicine, omhandler ialt 140 sager om formodede skader i forbindelse med brugen af ephedrin- og coffeinholdige slankemidler. Hver tredje hændelse var direkte eller sandsynligvis forårsaget af slankemidlet. Og for nogle af brugerne blev forsøget på at tabe sig skæbnesvangert."

Engelsk artikel DenverPost.com: Tighten up those mushy brains!: 14 autusti

"A brain impoverished by lack of stimulation will atrophy," Fuller said in her opening pitch. "But a brain stimulated will grow."

That's the theory behind classes like Fuller's, which are popping up all over the country. And while nobody is promising that these brain-fitness regimens will prevent Alzheimer's, the hope is they can at least curtail the more common, garden-`variety muddleheadedness that aging can bring, or at best hold off the devastating symptoms of dementia."

Danska artikel Aktuelt: Bliv slank på den fede måde: 24 november

"Slankekure henvender sig som regel til kvinder, selvom mænds vægtproblemer er større og mere sundhedsskadelige end kvinders. Forbrugerinformationen vil have mændene i tale med ny slankebog."

Engelsk artikel Lisa Lowe: Competition Tips:

"This section is designed to give some guidance to individuals who are interested in competitive sports. It also can be helpful to those who just want to have some structure when it comes to staying in shape.

Getting started in competitive sports can be very overwhelming and discouraging when you find out just how much time and effort it takes to get ready. But it doesn't have to be that way. Anything that is worthwhile achieving is going to take work and sometimes it may take help and support from someone who's been through what you're feeling. Well, I'm that person!

So, whether you're just starting out or looking for some new information, there is something for everyone in my competition tips."

Engelsk artikel JustMove: Report: pre-game sex OK for athletes: 21 november

"Athletes' superstitions aside, having sex the night before the big game probably has little to do with who wins or loses, scientists say.

It seems the time-honored tradition of swearing off sex just before a critical competition does not have the medical evidence to back it up. There is, at least, no evidence that pre-game sex has damning physical effects, according to researchers at McGill University in Montreal, Canada." (Via MetaMuscle)

"Having sex makes men more aggressive, improving their performance on the sportsfield, it is claimed.

Men's testosterone levels rise the more they have sex, and their sporting performance can improve as a result, according to a study carried out in Italy."

Engelsk artikel Bodybuilding Brotherhood Style - Home of TRULY Hardcore Natural Bodybuilding:

Enters the gym the mind in a Zone
Has no yuppie friends and works out alone
Raggedy sweat shirt and weightlifting gloves
Walks toward the iron, pain is what he loves
Admirers and passers watch, and he pays no mind
For they are weak, and not of his kind
Sinew burns from the weight and from the pain
What he wants is gain, and the spirit doesn't wane
Others cringe, from pain he endures
Living the life of iron is the only cure
He cries to the Brotherhood,the last rep,last set
Unable to complete it, was his only regret
Bleeding sweat,bone through the flesh,he's bar none
Anguish,cramps,veins popping, his workout is done
He crawls from the gym,for the workout was good
Wimps speak in whispers "He's part of the BROTHERHOOD."

Engelsk artikel Sportscience: Resistance training and endurance performance:

"Elite and recreational endurance athletes undertake resistance training believing it will improve performance. But training for endurance and training for maximal strength and power represent completely different and opposite forms of activity. Endurance training consists of many thousands of submaximal muscle contractions performed at low to moderate workloads, while training for strength and power involves relatively few contractions at maximal or near maximal force.

From a physiological standpoint, it seems unlikely that muscle would be able to adapt to two seemingly incompatible training stimuli when they are undertaken simultaneously. Surprisingly, few good scientific studies have been conducted using well-trained athletes to determine if the improvements in muscular strength gained from resistance training result in enhanced endurance performance."

Engelsk artikel JOM: Is the Use of Advanced Materials in Sports Equipment Unethical?: Februari 1997

"This article addresses the role of advanced materials in sports. At the highest professional level, sports are a highly competitive occupation with millions of dollars depending upon fractions of a second or tenths of a centimeter. However, even the dedicated amateur is willing to invest a great deal of money to improve his or her performance. Thus, just as in other fields, the use of advanced materials in athletics can be justified if it leads to enhanced performance.

Just as in the transportation industry, the materials of choice for sports have shown a major evolution over the last 100 years. From naturally occurring materials such as wood, twine, gut, and rubber, we have progressed to high-technology metals, polymers and ceramics, and synthetic-hybrid materials including composites and cellular concepts.

In this article, we first consider how sporting equipment is designed, drawing examples from a number of sports. We will examine in more detail how measurable (absolute) records have been impacted by these advanced materials."

The twist in Karyn Kusama's first film, one of the successes of America's Sundance festival this year, is that the angry young man is an angry young woman. She is played with a brooding intensity by Michelle Rodriguez, who turned up late for an audition but won the part even though she'd never acted or boxed before."

Lean On Me is aimed at those who want to lose weight and is billed as the “Feel-Full-While-You-Burn-Calories Between-Meal Deal.” It contains psyllium, barley, fructose, green-tea extract, chromium picolinate and 5-HTP — common dietary supplements purported to promote satiety and perhaps increase the rate at which the body burns calories.

In fact, pain may be an important part of food flavor, alongside taste and smell, according to food scientist Michael O'Mahony, who jointly heads the research team with Carstens.

Because the structures surround the joint, these symptoms can easily be mistaken for arthritis, but arthritis refers to direct irritation of the joint itself and not these structures. Nonetheless, soft tissue problems can co-exist with arthritis and can involve structures throughout the body."

"The myth of the "natural" exists alongside the myths of monsters and machines, robots and automata. Sport does not express "natural" performance levels at all.

Engelsk artikel NetDoktor: Diet drug: 21 november

"Researchers may have found a technique to allow people to eat as much as they like without putting on weight. The technique has only been tested on laboratory rats so far, and it involves de-activating a gene in the brain that produces a hormone called neuropeptide Y, which controls metabolism.

By introducing a ‘reversed’ copy of the gene, the neuropeptide Y hormones were ‘switched off’. This caused the rats to rapidly lose weight. The technique seemed to affect their metabolisms rather than their appetite, because they continued to eat the same amount. Neuropeptide Y has a similar function in the human brain and scientists believe the technique could be transferred.

However, they warned that it is unlikely to be available in the near future. Experts also point out that while a speeded-up metabolism may stop people from putting on weight, eating large amounts of bad food is still extremely unhealthy."

"Excessive overtime is damaging workers’ health and disrupting family life, a government survey into Britain’s workaholic culture has found. The survey, which was based on interviews with 7500 employees, 2500 employers and 250 company head offices, revealed that one in nine full-time employees worked more than 60 hours a week.

The survey also found that one in eight employees regularly works both Saturday and Sunday. Equal Opportunities Minister Margaret Hodge said the report showed that presenteeism was a greater problem in Britain than absenteeism: ‘The long hours culture is alive and kicking… We are all working too long hours and it is making us ill. That doesn’t help productivity and it certainly doesn’t support families.’"

Common acute injuries in weight training include sprains, strains, tendon avulsions, and compartment syndrome. Possible nonmusculoskeletal problems include retinal hemorrhage, radiculopathy, and various cardiovascular complications.

Treatment of acute musculoskeletal injuries varies, but usually includes sports medicine mainstays such as prompt RICE. Chronic weight training injuries will be described in part 2 of this series."

"For men, an eating disorder is more likely to be obscured by an excessive exercise regimen, say therapists who have treated men in recent years. Such men will exercise three times a day, starting with an early-morning run, a workout at the gym during lunch and, perhaps, a final session of competitive sports after work. Often, they consume large amounts of food, which drives them into further exercise in order to keep their weight down.

"We call them exercise bulimics," Markle says. "They eat large amounts of food, and instead of vomiting or (taking) laxatives, they work out every minute they get a chance. It serves the same purpose as bingeing and purging."
