Are sports drinks better than water when exercising? - Health & Wellbeing
A: Sometimes, it depends on the individual situation Our expert: Profesor Louise Burke and Professor Clare Collins Published 21/07/2011 [Image source: iStockPhoto] Should you take a bottle of sports drink down to the gym when you do that hour's aerobics class? Well, whether you would benefit from consuming a sports drink depends on the events you are taking part in and your goals, says Professor Louise Burke of the Australian Institute of Sport. Sports drinks typically contain water and electrolytes (usually sodium and potassium) for rehydration and carbohydrates (as sugars) for energy. They were invented in the 60s to replenish fluid and provide extra fuel for intense sporting activity of a long duration (more than 90 minutes). "If you're in the gym pedalling to lose weight while you read a magazine, then you don't need a sports drink, just drink water," says Burke, who runs the nutrition program for the elite athletes at the institute. Do you need the carbs? Don't forget the sugar Use water:
Sports Coach :: Climate control: acclimatising to the heat
Author: Lisa Yates, Sports Dietitian, The Coaches Edge Issue:Volume 27 Number 1 Exercising in hot, humid conditions when the body is not accustomed to it can place the body under great stress. The demand for circulation to working muscles, which are producing heat, overtakes the need for blood flow to the skin to transport heat away from the body. As a result, body temperature rises. Couple this with dehydration and the risks of heat illness, and poor performance increases. What is heat acclimatisation? The benefits of heat acclimatisation have been known for many years (Robinson 1967). What are the benefits of being heat acclimatised? Acclimatisation produces: Sweat sodium concentration is often lower after heat acclimatisation, producing a more dilute sweat (Nielsen et al. 1997) and perceived exertion during exercise in the heat is reduced (Cheung, McLellan and Teneglia 2000). How can coaches ‘climate control’ their athletes? Frequency of exercise Exercise duration Exercise intensity

MMM Receives Legal Threats – Great Lawyer Wanted
The threats are real.. but how we respond to them is our choice. Sigh. I suppose this was bound to happen sometime. This blog is approaching its third birthday and has been blessed with over 62 million page views from 5.2 million people and counting. Many people have helped and contributed along the way, and while we rant, swear, and speak out against many aspects of our culture, there have been very few bumps along the way. Even the corporate world that we occasionally mock has left us alone. A few weeks ago, a flurry of registered letters and FedEx packages started arriving at the Mustache residence. How did they even find out about this conversation, you might ask? The first threat. From what I could tell, there wasn’t much merit to their complaint. I could have taken it down anyway and been free from the hassle. So while I removed the old post pending some legal advice, I did take one step: I started a new thread on the forum, explaining the legal threat that I had received. Hey!
