Anatomy and Physiology for Jocks
An exceedingly simple lesson in anatomy and physiology key for effective coaching.
Greg Glassman distills anatomy and physiology into a framework so simple that any athlete can grasp it—and any coach can teach it. His model focuses on just four body parts (spine, pelvis, femur, tibia), three key joints (knee, hip, and sacroiliac), and two movements (flexion and extension). Once athletes can identify and control these, Coach introduces three rules of biomechanics: keep the trunk stable, generate power through hip extension, and avoid “muted hip function,” when the pelvis moves instead of the hip. The result is a shared language that sharpens communication and builds more coachable, efficient athletes.

NYC's New Added Sugars Warning Rule Goes Into Effect
New York City becomes the first in the U.S. to require sugar warnings on chain restaurant menus.
Starting last month, chain restaurants in New York City must display a warning icon next to any food or beverage containing 50 grams or more of added sugars. The policy applies to nearly 4,000 chain locations and aims to help consumers recognize high-sugar items and understand the health risks of excessive sugar intake. Noncompliant restaurants may face fines beginning January 2026.

Relationship Between Fat Oxidation and Lactate Threshold in Athletes and Obese Women and Men
Aerobic fitness and metabolic efficiency across body types 
This study compared endurance-trained athletes with obese men and women to explore how fat oxidation relates to lactate threshold during graded treadmill exercise. Using indirect calorimetry, the authors found that the athletes reached peak fat oxidation at higher intensities and closer to their lactate threshold, whereas obese participants did so at much lower workloads. While the athlete group happened to be endurance-trained, the results point more

A Classic Graphic Reveals Nature’s Most Efficient Traveler
A famous graphic, now updated, compares locomotion in the animal kingdom
A refreshed Scientific American chart first published in 1973 shows just how extraordinary a simple machine can make us: when riding a bicycle, humans become among the most energy-efficient travelers on land—outperforming horses, dogs, and even some flying or swimming species. The bike’s wheels and frame let us coast like fish glide through water, minimizing the energy otherwise spent fighting gravity. Add an aerodynamic shell, and humans in “velomobiles” achieve movement efficiency comparable to nature’s best.

Keto Endocrine Metabolic Oncology (KEMO) Therapy for Cancer
with Dr Isabella Cooper
Isabella Cooper (University of Westminster) outlines the standards needed for rigorous ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) studies and explains how ketosis may regulate key growth pathways linked to cancer. She stresses that metabolic dysfunction isn’t limited to obesity—many lean individuals have chronically high insulin levels. Cooper recommends evening ketone testing (≥3 hours post-meal) over several days to detect subtle hyperinsulinemia and insists that true ketosis must be endogenous, not from supplements. Mechanistically, she connects excess insulin to ceramide buildup, mitochondrial damage, reactive oxygen species, and overstimulated growth signaling that suppresses normal cell death.
