Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEpo) is a genetically engineered hormone sometimes misused by high-performance athletes such as cyclists and marathon runners to boost their endurance. The potential misuse of the drug is detected in urine collected from athletes. Since the test was introduced in 2000, 33 labs around the world have been accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to administer the procedure.

If athletes believe they are using a performance-enhancing drug, they may think their athletic performance improves, and in some men it can, even if they are actually taking a dummy drug, a new study has found.

A new study from Australia suggests that when given a placebo that they believe to be a performance-enhancing drug, some athletes, especially if they are male, not only believe their performance improves, but actually show real measured improvements in performance, lending support to the idea that "mind over matter", or the power of the mind, plays an important role in the development of athletic prowess.

Researchers have found potential new biomarkers for growth hormone, which they say could help the sports community in detecting growth hormone abuse. The results of the animal study were presented at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Many athletes are misusing recombinant human growth hormone, a drug intended for people who are growth hormone deficient, because of its supposed ability to decrease fat and increase muscle.

In addition to reducing one's risk for many common diseases, new research found that calorie restriction may slow the aging process. Calorie restriction has long been shown to slow the aging process in rats and mice. Calorie restriction - cutting approximately 300 to 500 calories per day - had a similar biological effect in humans, and, therefore, may slow the aging process.

Glycogen, the muscle's primary fuel source during exercise, is replenished more rapidly when athletes ingest both carbohydrate and caffeine following exhaustive exercise, new research shows. Athletes who ingested caffeine with carbohydrate had 66 percent more glycogen in their muscles four hours after finishing intense, glycogen-depleting exercise, compared to when they consumed carbohydrate alone, according to the study.

People fall into a pattern. They start out with the best intentions and do well for a little while ... but then fall back into old habits. It's a classic health trap: two steps forward, three steps back. People end up feeling bad about themselves. Moreover, the two-steps-forward-three-steps-back dance ends up increasing the health problems the behavioral changes were supposed to address in the first place.

New research indicates that patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty need to re-learn the proper techniques of moving from a sitting to standing position. Because most patients with knee replacement have lived with debilitating pain for years, they work around the pain by adopting different strategies to avoid using their weakened quadriceps femoris muscle when going from a sit-to-a-stand position.

A new type of exercise equipment can prevent serious lifestyle illnesses in paraplegic patients. The equipment was first designed for the American actor Christopher Reeve. Patients who are unable to walk after a spinal injury have a poorer quality of life and a shortened lifespan than their non-paralyzed counterparts. Sitting passively in a chair makes people susceptible to weight and digestion problems, lower bone density, diabetes -- and last but not least, heart and circulation problems.

Exercise or becoming highly emotional can cause the heartbeat to become irregular, often causing sudden death, in individuals with an inherited heart disorder known as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). The gene that is mutated in many individuals with CPVT carries the information for making a protein known as RyR2, which forms a channel through which Ca2+ passes.

As environmentalists have pointed out, it can be as dangerous to be outdoors behind a city bus -- walking or bicycling -- as it is to be in front of one. All the exhaust and smoke -- even when they have been reduced by clean-air technology -- can damage a person's health. The dangers of urban air pollution are of special concern to those who exercise by running, bicycling or skating. These individuals, while trying to help their bodies through exercise, should take care that they do not harm themselves through exposure to air pollution.

A study of 90,000 people has uncovered new genetic variants close to a gene called MC4R that influence fat mass, weight and risk of obesity. The variants act in addition to the recently described variants of the FTO gene: adults carrying variants in both genes are, on average, 3.8 kg heavier. The study highlights the power of large collections of volunteer samples to uncover common variants that influence health.

Aerobic exercise could give older adults a boost in brainpower, according to a recent review of studies from the Netherlands. "Aerobic physical exercises that improve cardiovascular fitness also help boost cognitive processing speed, motor function and visual and auditory attention in healthy older people," said the lead review author. Around age 50, even healthy older adults begin to experience mild declines in cognition, such as occasional memory lapses and reduced ability to pay attention. Convincing evidence shows that regular exercise contributes to healthy aging, but could the types of exercise a person does influence his or her cognitive fitness?

Patients with pain caused by narrowed arteries in their legs have 37 percent more pain-free walking if they take naftidrofuryl (200 mg three times a day) than those taking placebos, a Cochrane Review has found. In addition, 55 percent of patients taking naftidrofuryl improved, while only 30 percent of people on placebo treatments improved. Naftidrofuryl is used to treat circulatory problems.
