手握测脂仪的工作原理

By isabel, 2008年12月22日 7:26 下午

昨天教练给我做了体侧,终于用上了向往已久的测脂仪,可是得到的答案却不是向往已久的,26.3%,教练说虽然在标准当中,但却是标准中的上限…… 伤心啊……

虽然我的BMI只有18.7,好像个瘦子,但是百度知道说肥胖率才是最忠实的肥胖指标……

对于手握测脂仪的工作原理比较好奇,特别google之,专家认为:它的原理是利用人体肌肉的电阻和脂肪的电阻不一样(肌肉电阻小,脂肪电阻很大),加入身高、体重、年龄等参数后计算出来的一个估计值。吃饭后、流汗后、洗澡后测量的值可能都不一样。一般早上起床,未运动、空腹测量的值比较准确。也就是常说的空腹、静卧、室温25的状态。

由此看来,减水和减肌肉都不算减肥,真正降下来脂肪率,才是真正减肥……向着fat ratio才4%的Amstrong学习!

如何练出漂亮的腹肌!

By isabel, 2007年04月04日 9:03 上午

仰卧起坐当然是腹肌训练的首选。
但是,怎么做才是最有效果的?
如果你是个胖子的话,我是说如果你的腹部脂肪层比较厚。
你必须采取有氧训练式的练习方法。
先慢跑。10分钟。
躺下做仰卧起坐。
然后爬起来立刻做冲刺跑。坚持30秒以上。
再马上躺下做仰卧起坐。
再起来,做慢跑3分钟。
再躺下。
再起来,冲刺跑。
这种练法超级累。没有几个人能连着坚持一个月的。
但是凡是坚持下来的。腹肌都巨爽!
如果你本身很瘦。那就简单了。
我的办法是,
忘记那些健美书上所说的练腹肌方法和组数。
坚持每天都做。每天都做到感觉腹肌有烧灼感,脑门冒汗为止。
标准就是,当你停下来的时候,你不得不把腰挺起来做一个很难看的姿势来缓解腹肌的痉挛。
坚持半个月,你腹肌就特有型了。
在说仰卧起坐的新做法。
传统的做发是,双脚压在别人屁股下,弯腿,手抱头后,用手肘碰膝盖。
其实这方法只能练喂那个位置的腹肌。小肚子该怎么样还怎么样。
练下腹要平躺下来,双手放身体两侧。抬腿。
别抬成90度。抬成超过45度就可以。
反复做。小肚子就不见了。
再有,我“起坐”这个动作不做完整。做成分段的。
举例说明:
1,头离地面,背离开地面。停在起身动作的一半。
2,身体完全离开地面。手肘碰膝盖。
3,身体倒下,但是不碰地面。停在动作的一半。
4,身体完全倒下。准备下一次动作。
以上这4个步骤为一次。8次为一组
效果超级狠。

Born in March? You have a higher risk of schizophrenia

By isabel, 2007年03月12日 3:23 下午

But autumn birth comes with a greater likelihood of panic attacks, say studies that link birth seasons to health problems

  The star you were born under influences the person you become. This is not something you expect to hear from scientists but, incredibly, it seems to be true.
  
  There’s firm evidence that the time of year you are born affects not just your personality, but also your health, specifically your chances of developing serious mental illness. But don’t expect to find clues in your horoscopes. The star in question is the star we were all born under - the sun.
  
  Being born at certain times of year gives a small but significantly increased risk of problems such as depression, schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa. The question is no longer if the seasons affect mental health, but how. Pinning this down could yield vital clues on how to intervene to prevent mental illness.
  
  The effect was first noticed in 1929, when Swiss psychologist Moritz Tramer reported that people born in late winter were more likely to develop schizophrenia. We now know that for people born in the Northern Hemisphere in February, March and April, the risk of developing schizophrenia is between 5 percent and 10 percent greater than for those born at other times of the year. The effect has been replicated numerous times over the decades and is far from trivial.
  
  According to a study carried out at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, the increased risk of schizophrenia that comes with a winter birthday is almost twice the increase in risk linked to having a parent or sibling with the disorder.
  
  
  Season of birth seems to be linked to other conditions, too. A recent study of more than 25,000 suicides in England and Wales found that 17 percent more people who had committed suicide had birthdays in April, May and June than in the rest of the year.
  
  Similarly, people with anorexia in the Northern Hemisphere are 13 percent more likely to have been born between April and June than in other months. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s best to be born later in the year, however.
  
  Autumn birthdays are associated with an 8 percent increase in the likelihood of suffering panic attacks, for example, and a small but significant increase in alcoholism in men.
  
  Finding out just how the changing seasons change the risk of certain psychiatric conditions is proving a daunting task for epidemiologists. Until recently, the leading hypothesis on why winter and spring births increase the risk of both schizophrenia and anorexia centered on the health of a mother during pregnancy. Perhaps a viral infection in the mother at a key stage of the baby’s development could somehow interfere with brain development.
  
  Several studies in the 1980s seemed to have found spikes in the number of schizophrenia cases in people born in the months following outbreaks of viral diseases such as flu and measles. But several large studies, in particular one in 1999 by Stephen Miller at the University of Georgia, Athens, which looked in detail at patient records for 750,000 people, failed to find a similar correlation between epidemics and rates of schizophrenia.
  
  Seasonal fertility
  
  More recent explanations have concentrated on the more direct effects of the seasons on the mother: how much sunshine a pregnant woman is exposed to, for example, or the effects of temperature.
  
  The hormone melatonin, which regulates the sleep-wake cycle and is suppressed by sunshine, could play a role during gestation or early life, says British consultant psychiatrist Emad Salib. Salib was lead author on the study linking birth in late spring to suicide, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry in 2006. Salib reasons that as people born in April, May and June were conceived in July, August and September, high melatonin levels during crucial months of development could prompt changes in the brain, and then stimulate suicide later in life.
  
  Beth Watkins, an eating disorder researcher at St. George’s Hospital Medical School, London, has suggested a more subtle reason for the season-of-birth link to anorexia, which follows a similar pattern to that for suicide. Her idea is not that the seasons cause changes in the fetus, but rather that seasonal effects allow babies vulnerable to the condition to be conceived and born only at certain times of the year.
  
  People with anorexia are eight times as likely as the general population to have a parent or sibling with the disorder. Often that relative is the mother, and this got Watkins thinking. Was there something about overly thin mothers that might vary by season? “Their actual fertility is on a knife-edge,” she says, and babies born in the months most strongly linked to anorexia were conceived in July to September. Could the higher temperature allow an anorexic mother to conserve just enough energy to tip her into a fertile state?
  
  Watkins and colleague Kate Willoughby looked at a sample of nearly 400 women in the United Kingdom with anorexia and other eating disorders. In the UK, only in the summer months of July and August does the average monthly temperature tend to rise above 60 degrees, and in keeping with Watkins’s hypothesis, significantly more people with anorexia had been conceived during these warmest months.
  
  They then collected data on 200 patients in Australia living in and around Sydney, where average temperatures drop below 60 degrees only in the winter months of June, July and August. Sure enough, they found that fewer had been conceived in these cooler months.
  
  Finally, they looked at a sample of people with anorexia from Singapore, where the temperature remains constant at about 80 degrees all year round. There they found no season-of-birth effect at all.
  
  Watkins accepts that the effect could just as well be explained by prenatal exposure to sunlight, now a leading theory in explaining the season-of-birth effect in schizophrenia.
  
  In 2005, John McGrath and his colleagues at the Queensland Center for Mental Health Research, Wacol, Australia, reported that the higher the latitude, the greater the excess incidence of schizophrenia among people born in winter. Between 30 degrees and 60 degrees north (Chicago is 42), the excess is about 5 percent; at latitudes above 60 degrees north it is 10 percent.
  
  A sunny disposition
  
  Not convinced by the idea that winter infections are the cause, McGrath focused on the effects of a seasonal lack of sunlight. He was intrigued by a study in Brazil by Erick de Messias of the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center in Baltimore, which found a raised incidence of schizophrenia in people born three months after the rainy season.
  
  One way sunlight is known to influence the body is by stimulating the production of vitamin D, which fetuses need for brain development. Trouble is, in northern latitudes, there isn’t enough sun around in the winter.
  
  McGrath suspects vitamin D deficiency might link birth date to an elevated risk of schizophrenia. Working with neuroscientist Darryl Eyles, he’s established that the brains of rats deprived of vitamin D during gestation have abnormally large lateral ventricles. People with schizophrenia also have enlarged lateral ventricles.
  
  The rats with enlarged lateral venticles run around more than is normal, and this behavior can be rectified by the antipsychotic drug haloperidol, which is thought to block the neurotransmitter dopamine and is used to treat schizophrenia. The link between vitamin D deficiency and neurodevelopmental abnormalities is a “done deal,” says McGrath, at least in rats. Does that mean the same applies to humans? “We’re still working on that,” he says.
  
  The reassuring fact is that most winter babies escape schizophrenia, and spring babies by and large do not grow up with eating disorders. What we can hope for is that we may some day understand the biological basis for this seasonal blip in the incidence of mental disorder. And if we can do that, we may then be able to fix it.
