Eccentric Cycling Doubles Fat Loss: 24 Obese Teens Lose -3.4kg ('-10%') Body Fat in 12-Wk W/Out Dieting Efforts

Written by | published on

This is how ecc. cycling works + it also happens to show the bike used in the study! Eccentric cycling? How does it even work? I admit that I was asking myself the very same thing when I hit on Valérie Julian's ( 2018 ) latest paper... until I found the video on the right and realized: it's just a modern day torture machine. A torture machine that doubled the urgently needed fat loss in 24 obese adolescents, though, and hence probably is worth considering - not only, but also because the benefits of eccentric endurance training on fat mass "remain underexplored" ( Julian 2018 ).

Breakfast: Eat it or Skip it? Making it High Protein Will Have Habitually Skipping Teens Lose Fat & Curbs Their Hunger

This could have been the HP breakfast. Egg-based pancakes + ham. It is almost like the question "to carb" or "not to carb" and the almost religiously maddish discussions between carb-eaters and ketophiles: The debate revolving around the useful- or uselessness of breakfast, when it comes to health and physique issues. In my more recent articles about the topic I have repeatedly exposed the claim that "not having breakfast is bad for everyone" is total bogus; and while I am not going to go back on that I am about to discuss a study that demonstrates that the right  breakfast, i.e. one that's high in protein, may be extremely better than having no breakfast at all.

High School Athletes on Dope? Not Really, But Roughly 1/3 Uses "Performance Enhancing Supplements"

Written by | published on

"Don't you take those steroids!" Does this remind you of your mother, when, back in high school, you bought your first tub of creatine monohydrate ? Recent doping "scandals" have, yet again, raised the awareness, or should I say panicky fear of parents and coaches that their children and wards are going to be delinquent, when they save their allowances for a shopping spree at the local GNC. Accordingly, many of them will not be happy to hear that a recent study published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research ( Piattolly. 2011 ) found that "[a]lmost a third [32.2%] of the high school sample surveyed reported using nutritional or performance enhancement supplements." Figure 1: Type of performance enhancing supplement used by high school athletes (data adapted from Piattolly. 2011 ) Interestingly, of those 32.2% of the young athletes that reported using supplements, the majority were male (87%) and in the age group of 15-17 year-ol...

Gender Dependent Effects of TV Consumption on Body Fat Percentage of Canadian Teens

Written by | published on
A longitudinal study (57 months)  published by the American Journal of Epidemiology on July 8, 2010 found that although there is a negative effect of increased TV-consumption on boys (12–13y), no such correlation exists for the girls: "Relative to that of steady-low screen-time trajectory group boys, percent body fat was 2.9 (95% confidence interval: 0.7, 5.0) and 2.4 (95% confidence interval: 0.5, 4.2) percentage units higher on average among "increasers" and "steady-high" trajectory group boys, respectively. There was no evidence that screen time has an effect on percent body fat in girls overall, although physical activity modified the association between screen time and percent body fat in both sexes." Despite these findings, the scientists conclusion, "Efforts to prevent obesity in youth should emphasize reducing screen time," unquestionably holds true, even if it is your daughter who is sitting in front of her TV-scree...
