Personal Best - 2 Studies Look at the Effectiveness of Stretching - NYTimes.com

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 10:38:33 -0700

Stretching before running has not been shown to be effective in preventing injury. One of these two studies will again look at that issue. Stretching afterwards may be beneficial. But a specific plan for each individual involving a careful warm up, incremental training, and strengthening in addition to stretching, is what will likely work best. The second proposed study has what I consider to be a significant design flaw. I believe that a homogeneous population group with similar training methods and abilities would work be best studied. Having one study made up of athletes from different sports from soccer to running, walking and swimming, (a completely non-weightbearing exercise) will, I feel, be essentially be devoid of value.

Must Read Paper on fMRI -and- The Worst fMRI Science Journalism Ever : Pure Pedantry

Sun, 06 Jul 2008 20:47:46 -0700

fMRI may lead to misleading conclusions if not properly evaluated. The researchers that I've heard on recent Science.org podcasts though have not overstated their case, and declined to declare this mind reading technology.
