...david Ethics in Sport Part 1: Altitude Training Altitude training, also known as hypoxic training, involves exercising in, living in or otherwise breathing oxygen reduced air for the purpose of improved athletic performance, pre-acclimatization to altitude and/or physical wellness. Traditionally, individuals had to travel to or live at high elevations to obtain the benefits of this phenomenon. I already use something similar to that, the Elevation mask when I run and workout. That is the main thing you use for altitude training to improve your breathing. http://www.hypoxico.com/ Part 2: Altitude Tents By sleeping in a tent at a simulated high altitude, you reduce the amount of oxygen you are able to breathe in, which forces the body to increase its red blood cell count. Then, when you train back at sea level, you are able to compete more effectively because a greater amount of oxygen is now being delivered to your muscles than before. They can be pretty expensive, ranging from $450 to $500 a month or you can buy for $4,000. I sure wouldn’t pay that much for that, I’ll just continue to use the Elevation Mask. http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/reviews/performance-products-and-services/altitude-tent-everest-summit-hypoxic-generator Part 3: Erythropoietin Erythropoietin-Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside the bone). In order to make red blood cells, the body maintains an adequate supply of erythropoietin (EPO), a hormone that is...

...the top, but little did he know would it be one of the most catastrophic trips in the history of Mount Everest. The environmental changes from being at such high altitude, such as hypoxia, dehydration, and frostbite, took affect on Krakauer and his teammates. It impacted their breathing, bodily functions, appetite, stability, and health. He did not contemplate the death of 12 people when he decided the climb the mountain. He started with a hubris attitude, happy to be climbing the mountain. Krakauer had a mountain climbing history and he was well experienced. The journey to the top was successful and exhilarating, but the overwhelming thought of going back down the mountain immediately overtook his emotions. On May 10th, after weeks of training at base camp and climbing from camp to camp and back to base, Rob Hall gathered his expedition to attempt to reach the summit. Unfortunately, a storm would occur in the middle of their scale back down the mountain. Climbers fell, broke bones, got frostbite and hypothermia, lost limbs, and even died. Some fell into crevasses and were hit by falling boulders. Krakauer was fortunate enough to make it out alive. He was forever damaged from this life-changing journey. The article published in Outside Magazine in 1996 got a quote from Krakauer: “"I can't explain what happened. All I know is I've never climbed a mountain with such a high ratio of misery to pleasure." Although his purpose was to learn about the commercialism of the mountain and...

...Mental health advocates are concerned that promises to support their sector might not materialise. They say more lives will be lost unless billions of dollars in extra funding goes to mental health. Michelle Ainsworth reports from Canberra. DR ELIZABETH SCOTT, CLINICAL PSYCHIATRIST: I think the mental health system in Australia at the moment is really at a crisis point. PAULA KNOWLES, MOTHER: It is a parent's worst nightmare. PROF. IAN HICKIE, BRAIN & MIND RESEARCH INSTITUTE: We know what to do, largely when to do it, but our shambolic system fails to deliver that for people in the greatest need. BRONTE O'BRIEN: Life was incredibly confusing and incredibly overwhelming and I found myself trying to mask my feelings through using drugs. KEVIN RUDD, FORMER PRIME MINISTER: We need as a nation to live our game. JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER: I want to be absolutely clear about this. Mental health will be a second term priority for the Government. MICHELLE AINSWORTH: So if the professionals, the patients, the parents and past and present Prime Ministers agree that mental health is chronically underfunded, what's the problem? PROF.

...Applied Physiology in the first 5 months of 2006. This data suggests that there is still a short fall in the proportions of female studies when compared to those on male. Of those articles specifically referring to exercise in humans (n=36), 61 % were on males only, 5 % were on females only, 8 % were on males and females with the genders being studied separately and 26 % were on males and females, with no acknowledgment of the mixed gender. Collating these facts, together with the observation that many of the early findings on females and exercise have been found to be invalid because of poorly-controlled studies, it is clear that there is still much to be done. The aim should be to ensure that training sessions are optimised for performance enhancement in the female population and that training and performance are not detrimental to the longterm health of female participants. There are a number of different models of investigation. Studies which try to directly compare genders have difficulties in matching...
