The strangest thing about research showing that caffeine can alter a woman’s estrogen level is that it influences women of different races in different ways. In white women, caffeine has been shown to lower estrogen. But in Asian women, it jacks it up. In black women, it also seemed to increase estrogen, although the data [...]
The hot hand phenomenon, the conviction that an athlete is more likely to make a great shot if the previous shot was great, has been the subject of much debate.

Kettlebells, known as “girya” in their native Russia, are basically cannonballs with handles attached to them, and they’ve been used as long as anyone can remember to train Russian athletes.

In this piece in the Boston Globe, Salge-Blake recommends waiting 3 to 4 hours before [...]
Among the many revelations of The Bicycling and Walking in the United States: 2012 Benchmarking Report, just released by the Alliance for Biking & Walking, is this: While bicycling and walking fell 66 percent between 1960 and 2009, obesity levels increased 156 percent.
