Written by | published on

Cannabis is bad for athletes,... well, unless they're asthmatics; and in that case they'd better use beta-agonists, which have welcome previously discussed ergogenic "side effects". It's April and time for another installment of the SuppVersity Short News about sports medicine and related topics. In articles like the one at hand, I discuss a selection of recent studies - usually from a single journal like, in this case, the Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport  and often, as in this case, based on papers that have been accepted for publication, already but haven't been published, yet. In today's installment we'll deal with cannabis, shoe cushings and the brain building (BDNF boosting effects) of hypertrophy-oriented resistance training... and, not to forget, the fallacy of taking into account only exercise-induced stressors, when you periodize your training.

Either with caffeine, about which Tony Chou reported in a 1992 paper that it is consumed on a daily basis by ~90% of the adult population (Chou. 1992).

Weedy discoveries: Diabetes protection or just another addiction? "Good news everyone! Smoking weed is going to solve all your problems." I guess, most of you will already know that, after all the results from a recent study that comes out of the leave no question: Cannabis is the answer to why we get fat... or rather, not smoking it is the reason we are becoming fatter and fatter, year after year. How the scientists know? Well, they have the cunning of the average epidemiologist who knows very well how to get publicity. And as you can see, they really know what they are doing - why else would something that's about as diametrically opposed to physical culture like smoking weed make the headlines on the SuppVersity ? Let the statistical shenanigan begin! When you are pro Marijuana you got the support of the majority of the US citizens. Not only has smoking weed been legalized (for medical purposes, of course ;-) in 19 states and the District of Columbia followin...
