Today's Featured Topics



Pain Medications and the Athlete
Elite athletes and weekend warriors alike use pain meds for minor aches and pains. But what are the recommendations on how to use them properly? These questions, and more, are discussed in our review: "Pain Medications and the Athlete"

Anabolic Steroids: Abuse by Athletes
Anabolic steroids are derivatives of testosterone. Despite their widely-known risks, and the fact that they are banned substances, athletes continue to abuse them. Perhaps most at risk are high-school athletes, who don't realize how serious some of the health risks are. Read our review of these drugs in: "Anabolic Steroids: Abuse by Athletes"

Measuring Fitness: Body Composition

TITLE:  "Take A Load Off Your Heart"
AUTHOR:  Piscatella J, Franklin B
LENGTH:  380 pages
LIST PRICE:  $14.95

While this is not an exercise/fitness book, "Take A Load Off Your Heart" is a resource that you should seriously consider adding to your library if you are sedentary. Coronary artery disease is still a huge problem in the US. (Just ask lead author Joe Piscatella: he had a heart attack in his 30's.) This is unfortunate because heart attacks (myocardial infarctions) are highly preventable with proper diet and regular exercise. Mandatory reading for those with risk factors for heart disease!
