2010-03-05 Physical Fitness in Children Associated with Higher Test Scores

Researchers from the University of California at Los Angeles tested middle and high school students on fitness level by having them compete in a 1 mile run/walk test. Those who exceeded the fitness standards for age and gender also scored higher on standardized tests. Each minute slower on the fitness test represented a corresponding drop in test scores. The study was published in the issue of the Journal of Pediatrics.

Children who had the best average scores on standardized tests in reading, math, science, and social studies were at a high level of fitness at the beginning of the study and remained so into the seventh grade. The next best group academically was those who were not fit in the fifth grade, but had improved over the course of the two years. Those who remained unfit throughout the study had the worst overall test scores.

One month after federal investigators stopped Catalano at the border, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police raided Galeas Institute of Sports Medicine and Wellness Centre in Toronto and arrested him. The Florida Department of Health also launched its own investigation because Galea had flown to the state on four occasions last winter to treat Woods, who was recovering from knee surgery. At a news conference last week, Woods denied use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Galeas medical assistant told investigators that he had administered performance-enhancing drugs to professional athletes. The FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Food and Drug Administration investigators are working together on the case. Galea has stated that he did not provide performance-enhancing drugs to athletes. According to two sources familiar with the investigation, law enforcement officials have been in touch with NFL players who have used Galeas services.

2010-02-28 Combating Iron Deficiency

Iron is an essential mineral, vital not only for sports performance but also for general health. Most of the iron in your body is incorporated into hemoglobin, the blood protein that delivers oxygen to all body cells and removes carbon dioxide, allowing the utilization of fats and carbohydrates for energy production. Iron is also found in the myoglobin of muscle cells (which also store oxygen), and is stored as ferritin. Thus, in a regular blood test both hemoglobin and ferritin levels are assessed to determine iron levels.
