Most of these tragic sudden deaths are due to a heart condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy often does not produce any symptoms prior to causing sudden death. But it can be easily diagnosed, before exercise-induced sudden death occurs, by screening young athletes with electocardiograms (ECGs) and echocardiography. A couple of summers ago, the New York Times wr...

According to a study of 20 women with C+ breasts in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE), sports bras which provide breast encapsulation, compression, and elevation (whereas traditional sports bras only provide compression and encapsulation) are more comfortable during physical activity. Breast motion tracking was done via “infrared light-emitting diodes (2-mm diameter)…placed directly on both nipples under each bra using double-sided surgical tape, as the nipples have been found to be the best indicator of vertical breast displacement.” (more…) *This blog post was originally published at Medgadget* (Source: Better Healt...

It’s a known fact that caffeine is a performance enhancer, one of the very few that isn’t banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency. But now a new study by University of Illinois researchers has found that caffeine eases the muscle pains of exercising. The study involved 25 fit, college-aged men. Some of the participants were regular caffeine users, ie ones who drank at least four cups of coffee (or the equivalent in caffeine laced drinks) a day on average, while others either didn’t take in caffeine at all or only had a small daily intake. After an initial exercise test on an exercise bike to determine maximal oxygen consumption, the participants were then monitored while doing two high-intensity, half-hour exercise sessio...

Dr. Scadding characterised some of these self-tests as a waste of money and in response to a question about whether she considered that these tests were sufficiently regulated, she answered, "They should be banned". She went on to outline some of the harm that is experienced by children when they are misdiagnosed or if they pursue unnecessary allergen avoidance.Dr. Scadding discussed a recent example that illustrates some of the potential problems for consumers who have access to direct-to-consumer tests.Dr. Scadding: For example, I saw a child this morning before coming here and she had...We did skin tests that are well recognised and she had skin tests to house dust mite and also...
