In anticipation of this, UConn coach Geno Auriemma caused a bit of a stir by accusing some male sports fans of being upset because a women’s team was threatening a record set by men. This does not compute. Somewhere there might be a man upset by this — though I haven’t heard one — but I don’t see why: The UCLA men beat men’s teams, the UConn women have beaten women’s teams. It says nothing bad about men that a women’s team has a longer win streak. Where there might be en element of gender conflict at play is in how UConn got to this point. According ...

Regulations have made it so sick people are hospitalized and not-so-sick people are usually outpatients. People who are horizontal are there to have procedures, take heavy duty meds, rest and, hopefully, get better. Hospitals have increasingly put in sophisticated television systems so you can be in bed and distracted and entertained. But that is not restful for everyone. Here’s an example from this past weekend that stands out: Mark Dantonio, the coach of the Big Ten’s Michigan State Spartan college football team, was diagnosed with a heart attack right after last week’s game. Boom. He was hospitalized. Boom. He had a stent put in to unblock at least one artery. This past Saturday he was still in the hospital resting and recovering,...

Injections of human growth hormone can improve sprint capacity enough to turn the last-place finisher in the Olympic 100-meter dash into a gold-medal winner, according to a study released Monday. So says the LA Times. But no. The study participants were not fit enough to equal the last place finish in the Olympics. The eight-week study, one of the most rigorous examinations of growth hormone and athletic performance to date, involved 96 healthy, recreationally trained athletes with an average age of 27. The incorrect assumption of the reporter is that growth hormone will boost the performance of everyone equally. But the biological differences that separate top Olympic performers from each other...

DALLAS, April 27, 2010 — Long-term anabolic steroid use may weaken the heart more than previously thought and may increase the risk of heart failure, according to research reported in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal. Anabolic-androgenic steroids mimic the naturally occurring testosterone, a muscle-building hormone that promotes male sexual characteristics. “Anabolic steroids, in addition to being illegal, have important health consequences,” said Aaron L. Baggish, M.D., lead author of the study and instructor in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “I think for the first time we’re starting to realize...

Afterwards, the children are  tracked for a year to chart the effects on their emotions and intelligence. Kinesiology division professor Dale Ulrich is overseeing the study; he started to work with a program called Lose the Training Wheels under retired engineer and professor Richard Klein several years ago. The June 20th Detroit Free Press quotes Laura Bailey of the University of Michigan News Service as saying that “just 10% of kids with Down Syndrome can ride a bike, and autistic children have similar issues.” Just 10%—-I don’t know the source for this figure, and I don’t know the percentage of autistic children who ...

Johnny, who had attention deficit disorder and autism, had been playing in the neighborhood pool for about 45 minutes. He was wearing flotation devices on his arms and was being monitored by his mother, Cassandra Jackson, and other adults.

For reasons that you can read about here, Charlie has not been able to swim in the “big pool” at the hours when we can go (late afternoon/early evening). Our YMCA does have a quite elaborate “family pool” with two waterslides, a wading pool, and 3-4 foot pool, but it’s not the same as swimming laps. Somedays Charlie goes up the stairs and down the slides 20 times; other days (like yesterday) he puts his hands over his ears and just seems to like looking at the foaming water coming out of the slides). Recently, we’ve found a good solution by taking Charlie to swim in the pool of the college that I teach at and Charlie had a good time jumping in ...

The pros from many sports have turned to PPM, Pure Power Mouthguard, because it not only offers protection, but it also increases strength and balance. Sound silly? Well, it’s true. By using a TENS unit to relax facial muscles, a certified PPM dentist can find optimal jaw position, then fit the mouthguard accordingly. PPM holds the jaws in ideal position, which results in improved vertebrae alignment and better muscled recruitment, balance, and upper body strength. Who’s using PPM? Hockey, baseball, football players, as well we golfers, runners, weight trainers, and other athletes are enjoying the multi faceted benefits of PPM. Check out the website here.

It's widely known that seemingly small and most likely otherwise unknown heart problems (like an irregular heartbeat) are greatly exaggerated and can be fatal for many athletes due to the strain they put on their systems. And without screenings the majority of people don't have a clue they're in danger until it's too late. More American sports organizations should jump on that bandwagon (and many are) and start requiring screenings or, at the very least, athletes themselves should initiate testing.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking&...

And with more and more younger patients getting ICDs (implantable cardioverter defibrillators) it's becoming more and more important to get a clear understanding of exactly how the devices are affected by physical activity. As of now doctors warn against playing in sports just because they have no idea how strenuous exercise, adrenaline, and physical jolts/impacts can affect defibrillators. They assume it's all risky, but they really don't know for sure, which is prompting new research. Seems like this is a quality of life issue, really. Taking care of yourself...

The August 4th Bergen Record notes that the program is the “first of its kind in the nation”: Fifteen children, ranging in age from 11 to 16, are taking part. In the first three days, they spent an hour learning some of the rules of the game, how to grip a golf club, and how to putt. While they all will get an opportunity to play with regulation golf clubs and balls as the program progresses, their first experience was with something called “snag golf.” They used solid plastic, large-headed clubs and furry tennis balls, aiming for a yellow Velcro-covered target that looks like an overturned bucket with a flag on top.

But being an athlete isn't as healthy as it used to be years ago, now that air pollution levels and smog have risen so much in urban and highly populated areas. Athletes breathe in more air than the average sedentary person, and those chemicals and pollutants can build up their bodies and cause problems in the heart and lungs.Suggestions on limiting the damage caused by poor air quality include doing what you can to avoid working out in high traffic areas and staying indoors altogether when the air quality is bad.
