...These results show that sedentary behavior, and more specifically television-viewing, is related to blood pressure independent of body fat or obesity level," says Dr. Joey Eisenmann, a kinesiologist at Michigan State University and one of the study's co-authors...
Speedo has clearly won the Battle of Beijing. After Athens, Speedo brought an army of biophysicists, kinesiologists, and engineers to bear on overhauling the last generation of its Fastskin racing suit, the FS Pro. So the LZR Racer has a few more bells and whistles than the Tracer Rise. For one thing, it looks a lot cooler. The long grey panels - you feel like an astronaut crossed with a figure skater - are products of multiple levels of technological innovation. Speedo used a NASA lab to measure more than 90 different fabrics in a wind tunnel to find the one with...
Based on some intriguing preliminary studies in animals, J. Timothy Lightfoot, a kinesiologist, and his team at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, suggest that genetics may indeed predispose some of us to sloth. Using mice specially bred and selected according to their activity levels, Lightfoot identified 20 different genomic locations that work in tandem to influence their activity levels - specifically, how far the animals will run. Lightfoot's team is the first to identify these genetic areas and the first to figure out that they function in concert. The researchers say the areas they found on the mouse genome...
...average, 175 g (about 0.4 lb) more over nine months than babies being raised exclusively by their parents. In addition to being heavier, these infants also started eating solid foods earlier than babies under parental care. "We were surprised by the quantity of weight gain," says Kim, a kinesiologist at University of Illinois and an author of the study published this month in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine...
...knees can generate 5 watts of electricity by harvesting the energy inherent in a walker's stride. That may not sound like much, but it's enough to charge 10 cell phones, and it's absolutely free. "People like the idea of generating their own power," says Donelan, a kinesiologist at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. "If you do things in a clever way, you can get energy cheaply...
