Today's Featured Topics



Sports Creams and Topical Analgesics
Sports creams are used regularly by athletes and non-athletes alike. But, many people -- even physicians and athletic trainers -- may not realize the potential toxicity of methyl salicylate, an ingredient found in many sports creams. Read the details in: "Sports Creams and Topical Analgesics"

Interval Training
Interval training is how serious athletes improve their aerobic conditioning. But, new research is showing how short bursts of higher-intensity aerobic exercise can be an effective strategy for improving your fitness without logging hours and hours of training.

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!
