Elever på Berghs har sökt upp totalt ett tjugotal rörelser. De försöker formulera och gestalta slagkraftiga budskap för alltifrån kroppsbyggare till Antifascistisk aktion."

Engelsk artikel YourHealthDaily: Olympic Athletes' Drug Usage Involved 'High-Tech Cheating'

"While Hunter's much-publicized case involved levels reported to be 1,000 times the allowed limit, Leipold's case and that of many other athletes this year were for far lesser amounts. "It's a mystery to all of us,'' said Pennsylvania State University professor Charles Yesalis, an expert on performance-enhancing drugs.

"Athletes, elite athletes, do not experiment. They have people advising them, top-grade medical scientists. The advice is good, even if it's not ethical. Something has to be going on. Athletes have known for 20 years that you don't take nandrolone... It's right up there with the sun rises in the east.''

Engelsk artikel MSNBC: Is your food pyramid upside down?: 8 december

"The foods that should form the smallest part of our diets – fats, oils and sweets – are actually a major part of many people’s daily consumption, according to a new study.

These foods are depicted in the smallest section, the tip, of the Food Guide Pyramid, which illustrates how much we should ideally eat from the different food groups. Of course, there is room in a healthy diet for all foods – in moderation. The new findings suggest, however, that many Americans miss the point of "moderation."

Engelsk artikel Slashdot: Jon Katz reviews "The Sixth Day": 10 december

"Still, Sixth Day is fast-paced and graphically inventive, although the use of DNA-threads in movies is already stale. Schwarzenegger's character raises all the right questions -- who gets to use the human gene map, and for what purpose? Who gets to decide when life should begin, when it should end, whether gene mapping should be used to alter human life?"

Engelsk artikel BBC News: Doctor rapped over diet pills: 8 december

"A doctor who sold slimming pills through clinics in Scotland has been found guilty of serious misconduct."

Engelsk artikel CDC: Promoting Better Health for Young People Through Physical Activity and Sports:

This report from the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Secretary of Education, and recently released by the White House, outlines ten strategies to promote health and reduce obesity through lifelong participation in enjoyable and safe physical activity and sports. Included is a bibliography and appendices of helpful materials."

Engelsk artikel Epinions: The 6th Day = A New Threshold of the Mind: 7 december

"I would have to rate it 5 of 5 stars as far as the overall movie is concerned. The the quality of the film itself is 5 of 5 stars because it has excellent film layout, graphics, and sound effects.

The movies that I would say it is most similar to is the Matrix and X-Files because it crosses over into believability from the big shooting scene and fighting scene and the blanks (generic clones of humans) waiting to be injected with the final strands of DNA."

Engelsk artikel Yahoo! News: Cutting Calories May Prevent Disease: 7 december

Engelsk artikel ACE: The Five Worst Fitness Ideas of All Time:

"The old saying goes that with time comes wisdom. That’s certainly the case in the world of sports and fitness, where decades of research have increased our knowledge of how the body works and how best to train it.

Of course, that doesn’t mean we’ve seen the end of whacky exercise ideas or outlandish weight-loss schemes (e.g., The Hollywood Diet, Electric Muscle Stimulation machines). But to show you just how far we’ve come, here are ACE’s top five worst fitness ideas of all time."

Engelsk artikel MSNBC: Apple warns of revenue shortfall: 6 december

"These are dark days for the companies that make personal computers. Adding to the industry’s woes, Apple Computer Inc. warned Tuesday that it is losing money this quarter and will fall well short of Wall Street’s expectations because of a drastic slowdown in sales.

Jobs sought to reassure investors that Apple can weather this bad quarter and even an extended downturn. “We have an Arnold Schwarzenegger balance sheet, with over $4 billion in cash,” he said."

Det framkommer när forskare och praktiker diskuterar de senaste rönen inom stressforskningen i två nyutgivna böcker."

Engelsk artikel Seattle P-I: The Terminator reflects on violence: 4 december

"In Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest film, "The 6th Day," there's a humorous moment when his character becomes concerned about his children's exposure to violence in the media.

Engelsk artikel PsycPort: Athletes use mind games to improve on the field: 6 december

"Anyone who plays sports has used the terms: They found the groove, they were in the zone, they let the game come to them. Whatever its label, psychologists make serious attempts to define it and learn its curious nature so that "the zone" applies to not only sports, but to professions off the field."

Engelsk artikel Ananova: Industrial past cause of poor diet - expert: 6 december

"The diet of fat and sugar which helped produce Scotland's industrial workforce is the reason it now needs a "fat tsar".

Engelsk artikel The Sport Journal: Athletics as a Predictor of Self-esteem and Approval Motivation:

"Past research has found a negative correlation between the variables of self-esteem and approval motivation (Larsen, Martin, Ettinger, & Nelson, 1976). This relationship has not been explored specifically for individuals who participate in athletics.

The purpose of this study was to compare athletes and non-athletes on their levels of self-esteem and approval motivation, and to determine if a positive correlation exists for athletes in contrast to the negative correlation found in the general college population. A significant difference was found between athletes and non-athletes in their levels of self-esteem and approval motivation."

Engelsk artikel IDEA Health & Fitness Source: Refueling After Exercise: April

"Proper pre-exercise nutrition has been on the minds of many athletes for years, and even most weekend warriors know to keep a water bottle handy during workouts, to prevent dehydration.

But how many exercisers are aware of the need to restore liquid and solids after a workout? It's one thing to fuel muscles before activity, but quite another to "top off" those same muscles after exercise in order to keep all cylinders running for tomorrow's regimen."

Engelsk artikel Nutrition Science News: Phytochemicals: Nutrients Whose Time Has Come: Juli

"The health and disease-fighting benefits of phytochemicals have been widely touted in the media. In turn, this has sparked wide public interest and demand for new and better information on phytochemicals--what they are, how they work, and which foods and supplements contain them.

With a greater understanding of biochemistry and human physiology, phytochemicals could well drive the food and supplements industry forward through the 21st century." (Via MagPortal)

Engelsk artikel Sportscience: Breathe Right Nasal Strips: Not for Most Athletes:

"Summary. Breathe right nasal strips have little or no effect on the amount of air that passes through your lungs, or on the amount of oxygen you can extract from the air during exercise.

Engelsk artikel IFBB Tjeckien: Resultat Junior- och Veteran-VM Bodybuilding samt Junior-VM Fitness

Engelsk artikel Trygve Lode: Om kampsportsfilmen 'Dragon and the Hawk':

"BTW, I put up another video clip on my multimedia page www.trygve.com/multimedia.html which is from the "evil lair scene" which was the very last thing actually filmed.

Of course, since it was the end of shooting, everything had to go wrong and the cable broke when we tried to do the one-and-only wire effect in the entire film, namely, the "pick-up-by-the-neck" move, in the best "Darth Vader" tradition.

So you can probably tell that I'm working pretty hard in that scene and we weren't able to do any long shots without the wire (my other arm is actually just off-camera, lifting up the other actor by the belt) but it worked out okay nonetheless.

Obviously, that's just one more advantage to having weightlifters in movies - you can still make the scene work even when the special effects don't...."

Svensk artikel SVD: Den laddade maten: 22 november

"Matlagningsprogram, matutställningar, allt fler kokböcker och mattidskrifter. I medierna pågår ett veritabelt frossande i recept och rätter.

I dag börjar vi en ny artikelserie om våra relationer till maten."

Engelsk artikel HealthWorld: Studies Show Significant Gains in Young Muscles:

"In the early 1970s, when the prevailing misunderstanding was that youth strength training was either dangerous or worthless. Many feared that lifting weights would damage bone growth plates. Others felt strength training was useless because young muscles did not have the capacity to gain strength apart from normal growth processes.

Both assumptions have proven false. According to the National Strength and Conditioning Association, there are no documented reports of bone growth plate injury due to sensible strength training.

Several research studies have also demonstrated that boys and girls can gain muscle strength at about the same rate as adults."
