Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:20:26 GMT

Alcohol, Athletes & Pressure to Drink

Wed, 12 Nov 2008 19:35:08 GMT

Ask any coach or college athletic director, and you'll hear concern about alcohol and athletes. Rightfully so. Alcohol and athletics is a dangerous duo, associated with negative consequences including hangovers, nausea and vomiting, poor grades in school, fights, arguments, memory loss, driving under the influence, and trouble with the law-to say nothing of injuries. Yet, tailgating before football games, quenching thirst at the pub after a team workout, and celebrating victories with champaign is perceived as the norm. College athletes are more likely to drink than non-athletes. Serious recreational runners drink more than their sedentary counterparts. Unfortunately, alcohol is a highly addictive substance and is the most abused drug in the United States, more so than steroids. Prolonged drinking can damage the liver, heart, and brain, and result in cirrhosis, pancreatitis, irregular heart beats, stroke, and malnutrition. More oral cancer is seen among those who are just moderate drinkers as compared to abstainers.

Heatstroke part 3: Abnormal heat production, or failure of heat loss?

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:29:06 GMT

Yesterday, in our second post on heatstroke, we introduced the concept that the attainment of a body temeprature above 41 degrees celsius is NOT POSSIBLE due solely to environmental conditions, which is how you've probably always been told to think of it. We explained how body temperature is a function of heat loss and heat production, and provided the potential for heat loss is greater than or equal to the heat production, there is zero chance of heat stroke occuring via purely "normal" physiological means. Therefore, when people do develop this condition, it is not as simple as saying "they didn't drink enough and the conditions were too hot", which was really the take-home message of yesterday's post.

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:14:00 GMT

The 2008 edition of le grande boucle, as it is affectionately known, is now fully underway, and so far each stage has been quite exciting. The tour started without the traditional prologue, and instead was a full on stage. It's slightly uphill finish effectively neutralized the sprinters, and so it was not surprising to see all the main GC contenders at the front. In fact Alejandro Valverde won the stage and took yellow, although we spoke about how much of a challenge it would be to go "wire to wire" in yellow.

Columbia researchers shed light on mechanism of muscle fatigue

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 11:52:38 GMT

Since its inception the profession of Exercise Physiology has focused on "fatigue." This is a broad term, and fatigue has many manifestations. We can fatigue during dynamic maximal exercise such as a peak power output test, and we can fatigue during sub-maximal (endurance) exercise. We can also produce muscle fatigue in the lab while contracting a single limb and muscle group, either repeatedly or continuously. So it has many faces, and exercise scientists have been interested in all of these areas for decades. In fact one of the first exercise labs in North America was the Havard Fatigue Lab, and one of their most famous investigations of fatigue involved two dogs, Joe and Sally, who were fed glucose or nothing while running on a treadmill. The scientists were the first to demonstrate in the lab that carbohydrate ingestion during this type of exercise enhances performance.

Nick Symmonds: Nutrition

It's Sunday morning here in Eugene which means I have a long run to complete. During my base phase I will run as far as 14 miles for my weekly long runs and though i know these training sessions are extremely important, I don't really look forward to them. That is why I generally procrastinate all day and usually head out in the afternoons. This allows me to actually enjoy a relaxed morning with a large, calorie rich breakfast.

NFL, Gatorade and bananas

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 12:15:23 GMT

The gist of this debate is that for years cramps have been attributed to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances and deficiencies. We suspect many of you who played youth sports were told, when playing in hot weather, to eat lots of bananas. The hypothesis there is that potassium depletion causes muscle cramps, and it is commonly accepted that bananas are a food stuff that is rich in potassium. So, quite simply, to stave off cramps one must just eat plenty of bananas - elementary school knowledge (or so we thought), and it turns out that even in the Superbowl, they adhere to that same dogma!
