This Guy Opened Up About the Challenges He Faces as a ‘Fat Cyclist’ – Yahoo Lifestyle

Posted: September 1, 2020 at 11:54 am

From Men's Health

Cycling can be a hugely enjoyable form of cardio for people who want to lose weight, improve their personal fitness, or just generally be more active in their lifestyle and contrary to popular opinion, you don't have to be thin as a beanpole to do it.

Avid cyclist Leonard Lee makes YouTube content for people who share his enthusiasm, regardless of age or body type. In a recent video, he broke down some of the things he has learned while cycling as a bigger person, including practical obstacles that often arise, as well as the pervasive gatekeeping and fat-shaming that can occur in the cycling world.

"As a self-confessed fat cyclist myself, I can tell you that being heavy adds all kinds of challenges when getting on a bike," he says. "Probably the single main challenge faced by fat cyclists is that being heavy makes cycling hard work, especially when the road starts to go uphill. This is obviously down to the power-to-weight ratio... I'll be the first to admit, I'm one of the slowest climbers I know. But then that kind of makes sense, because I'm one of the heaviest climbers I know. Then again, I can climb."

It stands to reason, he explains, that heavy cyclists must have a high power output, otherwise they'd never make it up those inclines at all. But as they are carrying more weight, "much of that power is effectively lost." He adds that even minor weight loss can help to shift that power-to-weight ratio in a cyclist's favor, resulting in an increased speed both on climbs and flats.

A related issue that heavier cyclists should pay extra attention to, says Leonard, is their knees. "Because climbing is that much harder for us, we tend to put more pressure through our knees," he explains. "This can be improved through some degree through a good bike fit, and ensuring the saddle height and position are correct. Riding in lower gears will also prevent too much pressure being put through your knees."

Finding the right bike for you to begin with can help you avoid some of these problems, but Leonard points out that this in itself is often an obstacle. "Many frames, components and wheels have manufacturers' recommended weight limits," he says. "Never be tempted to exceed that limit, if you do, that item could fail. At best, you'll void warranty. At worst, you could be involved in a nasty accident." Similarly, finding cycling wear that has been designed to be both functional and flattering in bigger sizes can be a challenge although Leonard says whether you want to wear proper biking kit or not is entirely down to personal choice.

Story continues

One of the most frustrating and pervasive negative aspects to being a "fat cyclist" is the unsolicited health and dietary advice from strangers, some of which is well-meant, while other times is downright insulting. "Many people see an overweight person, and for one reason or another, think that they have no idea why they're fat," says Leonard. "Believe me, we know all too well how we got here."

For the most part, however, Leonard's enthusiasm for cycling more than compensates for some of the downsides. "Cycling in general has so many benefits that being overweight shouldn't be a reason to not get on the bike," he says. "Nothing in life is without its own unique challenges and obstacles. You can either see these obstacles and let them end your journey right there, or you can be excited about the possibilities that lay beyond."

Male Hypogonadism Market Growth, Opportunities And Forecasts To 2025 – Scientect

Posted: September 1, 2020 at 11:53 am

Global Male Hypogonadism Market: Snapshot

Hypogonadism in males refers to a condition in the male body where the testes show a significantly reduced level of functioning than normal. The overall result of male hypogonadism is a reduction in the rate of biosynthesis of male sex hormones. This state is more commonly known as interrupted stage 1 puberty. Hypoandrogenism, or the low androgen or testosterone level in a male can vary in severity from person to person. It is often the cause of partial or complete infertility. There are multiple forms of male hypogonadism and even more ways to classify them. Most endocrinologists commonly classify male hypogonadism on the basis of the level of defectiveness of the male reproductive system.

In many cases, doctors also measure the level of gonadotropins to classify a patient between primary and secondary male hypogonadism. Primary male hypogonadism refers to the cause of the condition being due to defective gonads. There are different types of primary male hypogonadism, including Turner syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome. Secondary male hypogonadism is caused by defects in pituitary or hypothalamic glands. They include Kallmann syndrome and hypopituitarism.

Global Male Hypogonadism Market: Overview

Male Hypogonadism refers to a clinical condition, wherein the testes fail to produce enough testosterone leading to delayed puberty or incomplete development. The condition is related to impaired development of muscle mass, development of breast tissues, impaired body hair growth, and lack of deepening of the voice.

The male Hypogonadism market can be segmented by therapy, type, drug delivery, and geography.

The report presents an in-depth analysis of the global male hypogonadism market with current trends and future estimates to explain the imminent investment pockets. The quantitative analysis of the market for the forecast period from 2017 to 2025 will enable stakeholders to capitalize on the prevailing growth opportunities.

Global Male Hypogonadism Market: Trends and Opportunities

The top driver of the male hypogonadism market includes rising prevalence of testosterone deficiency among men, increasing infertility rates, and increasing awareness among individuals about hypogonadism treatment due to awareness drives organized by several governments across the world. Moreover, high risk of hypogonadism among the geriatric population with obesity and diabetes, and increasing prevalence of chronic disorders among the geriatrics are further expected to boost the markets growth.

However, factors such as high side effects of testosterone products are challenging the growth of testosterone replacement therapy market. Top players in the market are focused on research and development to introduce newer products with fewer or negligible side effects and improved results. For example, LPCN 1111, a product which is under development from Lipocine Inc., is a newer testosterone prodrug that utilizes Lipral technology for enhanced systemic absorption and for enhanced solubility of testosterone. Nevertheless, technological advancements are anticipated to extend new opportunities to the markets growth.

Global Male Hypogonadism Market: Regional Overview

The global male Hypogonadism market can be analyzed with respect to the regional segments of North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. North America held the majority share of the global market in the recent past and is expected to retain its dominant position in the near future. This is mainly due to the rise in the number of individuals suffering from primary and secondary conditions of hypogonadism, and rising awareness among individuals about treatment options for the condition. Moreover, the presence of ultra-modern healthcare infrastructure and increasing popularity of technologically advanced products are expected to offer new opportunities for top players in this market. The region is closely followed by Europe.

Asia Pacific is expected to offer lucrative opportunities to this market due to the modernization of the healthcare infrastructure in the emerging economies of India and China and the increasing awareness about the treatment for the condition. In Asia Pacific, the increasing prevalence of hypogonadism and infertility rates along with the rising geriatric population base with diabetes and obesity are propelling the growth of this market. China, Taiwan, and Malaysia are some of the countries that display the highest rate of male hypogonadism.

How Sports Nutrition Companies Are Adapting to Coronavirus Outbreak – Runner’s World

Posted: September 1, 2020 at 11:51 am

As Sam Diaz crossed the finish line of the U.S. Marathon Olympic Trials in late Februarya day she had been preparing for for monthsshe was already plotting her next race. What she didnt expect was how fast things would change in the following weeks, nor what racing would look like come summer.

Diaz wanted a chance to redeem herself after an unfortunate off day at the Trials. Fast forward six months, and shes dabbled in virtual races and socially-distanced staggered starts, but says that while organizers have done a great job of balancing safety with an atmosphere of competition,its still not the same as toeing the line.

Back in March, changes due to the coronavirus outbreak hit the running community (and the entire world) fast. Health officials ordered lockdowns and social distancing, gyms closed, and races were cancelled. Now, as states continue to re-open safely while keeping their infection and death numbers down, the changes are ongoing, but people are still getting out to exercise.

One thing we noticed right away was how many people were still moving, despite not having races, said Magda Boulet, former U.S. Olympian, and Vice President of R&D at GU Energy Labs who runs 60-mile weeks on her home trails around Berkeley, California. I saw families outside together and people trying to stay active, closer to home. I started to call this the movement movement.

Boulets observation is not off. The health and fitness tracking brand FitBit reported greater levels of activity in June versus the beginning of the pandemic in April. Even without races and events for the rest of the year, runners are still running, and many formerly non-runners have since taken up the sport. In May, Garmin reported a similar trend, publishing data that shows worldwide activities were up by 24 percent.

More people running is a good thing overall, but without races and large events that sports nutrition brands like GU rely on as a key component to their businesses, everyone in the running community has had to adaptespecially race organizers.

Tim Cole, a previous race director for the Oakland Marathon, was overseeing brand partnerships at Mascot Sports when shutdowns began spreading like wildfire. We got the sense pretty early that this wasnt going to be a short pause, said Cole. Wanting to be proactive, we canceled races and offered free deferrals, trying to not leave racers in limbo. The entire events community started thinking virtual almost overnight.

Coles former colleagues at the Oakland Marathon initially postponed the race (typically run the last weekend in March), but were slow to offer a virtual alternative. At the time it was a balancing act. Virtual racing doesnt have the same participation as live events, so the decision wasnt easy for a lot of these races, said Cole. But it didnt take long for virtual races to gain real traction. People still want a sense of belonging, whether thats a virtual marathon or something totally new.

It didnt take long for virtual races to gain real traction. People still want a sense of belonging.

For many runners, virtual races filled an important role while traditional races were off the table. Participating in virtual events has been a rewarding way to stay connected with the community and run with greater purpose, said Tim Tollefson, professional runner for Hoka One One. During the final few miles of a virtual marathon I did, knowing others were out suffering at the same moment, helped to suppress negative thoughts that can lead to a DNF or lower performance.

Other than a handful of holdouts, most race directors followed suit, moving from analog to digital. Nutrition brands, recognizing that the old model of putting an emphasis on events and aid stations wouldnt be in the cards for a while, hopped on-board.

Many race directors have looked to create something similar online, said Boulet, and were trying to meet them there, supporting virtual races by sending goodie bags to racers. Were trying to give racers a similar experience, or at least as close as it gets.

For organizers and sponsors alike, the partnership between New York Road Runners and Strava is a north star, because it was successfully running virtual races with good participation before the coronavirus outbreak hit.

With races canceled and running stores closing so fast, we had to shift online, quickly testing ways to support athletes on platforms like Zwift and Strava, said Elliot Freeman, Vice President at Skratch Labs, But entering this scene has been a learning process. We had to do our homework as fast as we could.

Some nutrition brands made educated guesses that turned out to be home runs. We didnt know what was coming, but we took an early guess that at-home workouts and virtual events were the future, so we leaned in, explained Mike Keown, CEO of Honey Stinger. To date, Honey Stinger has led the way on virtual event sponsorship, participating in more than 30 online races.

Many of our event partners got creative on how to build community through online events and we did our best to support, said Keown. One of our marquis partnerships is with Spartan, and theyve done a fantastic job with virtual races. Honey Stinger also worked with their athletes to encourage online racing.

For example, Mario Mendoza set a new 100K treadmill world record and Courtney Dauwalter ran 100 miles around her neighborhood, to simulate an ultra. Choosing to run that far on a treadmill was definitely influenced by not having races, said Mendoza. It was a way to go after a goal without them. Right now Im looking at some FKTs in the mountainsand I suppose if we still cant race in the winter, Ill consider another treadmill distance, but hopefully I dont have to, he joked.

It feels a bit different using your house as an aid station, added Dauwalter, who has taken part in two 100-mile virtual races during the pandemic. For the Aravaipa 100, I was just running laps around my home trails here in Colorado but was amazed at the sense of community. Thats what Ive really missed with not racing every weekend. Community makes these big efforts much more fun.

For Bend-based amateur Alli Miles, the pandemic has offered a chance to experiment. Along with virtual races, Miles says that this race-less summer has allowed her to try different things with her nutritioneverything from different brands to being more regimented with her eating. I knew I needed to work on nutrition, but with lots of training and no real races, Ive had plenty of opportunities to get it more dialed, she said.

Miles has opened up to new opportunities, saying yes to challenges and training plans she might not have otherwise. Ive pushed mileage and overall training volume to see what my body can handle. Its been a good time to try to find out what is sustainable and what is too much, she added.

To address runners like Miles looking for more education around running nutrition, Skratch Labs started hosting webcasts for all skill levels. Weve seen participation from both ends of the spectrumnew runners just getting started and, surprisingly, pro athletes who are training more, possibly because they dont have to taper for races. This is everyones chance to experiment with new types of training and nutrition. Were trying to offer them some education on ways to fuel the right way, said Freeman.

Representatives from Gatorade Endurance echoed this need for more information during a time in-flux. The team is focusing on practical ways to help athletes stay consistent with training through content like Fit Libs, a series of workouts to inspire at-home activity and Training for Life, a series about the ebbs and flows of an endurance athlete and tips to avoid burnout.

While some brands have prioritized education as a way to serve their community, a few have taken it a step further by giving back. Nuun has provided over 100,000 tablets to front line workers since the beginning of the pandemic and GU Energy Labs has donated care packages to more than 100 medical care facilities.

Forgetting about races entirely, Clif Bar transitioned operations almost overnight to address the looming food scarcity issue. We saw food shortages and saw an immediate need to donate food to people who are serving our communities, said Drew McGowan, the Communications Lead at Clif Bar. Clif sent energy bars to food banks and the healthcare community, then to families and children in need.

The bottom line is that we make food. People needed food right away, especially in places like New York. We couldnt wait two months. We used personal connections our employees had to make it happen quickly. This shifted the focus of the entire company, explained McGowan. We saw a food scarcity issue that was exacerbated with COVID, and we knew we had to act immediately.

Our typical consumers are athletes, adventurers, and anyone who cares about the food they put in their bodies. We go to races, sample products, and focus on fueling athletic endeavors, said McGowan, But for now, were focused on helping people get through this. To date weve donated 14 million bars.

The biggest trend is that no one knows what the future will hold or when races might come back. For now, virtual races, online education, and digital communities are here to stay.

The full impact of canceled races is still to be seen, but we know were in this for a while. I think the shift toward wellness over strict regimens is here to stay said Boulet. After 15 years working at GU with a constant focus on big races, Ive been surprised at the community built online.

For elite amateurs like Diaz and runners like Miles, dabbling in new types of races and routines has become a unique opportunity during the pandemic. Continuing to work remotely with her coach and Idaho Distance Project team, Diaz won the local hill climb and has her eyes set on an FKT attempt later this fall.

Any opportunity to race and push the limits no matter the distance or terrain is exciting right now, said Diaz. Im grateful we have something to look forward to on the weekends, and its fun to compete with teams from all over the country. I guess were all in this together.

Co-author Dr. James OKeefe, a cardiologist at Saint Lukes Mid America Heart Institute says that our social connections are probably the single most important feature of living a long, healthy, happy life. To promote longevity and both mental and physical well-being. He adds that if youre interested in exercising for health, longevity, and well-being, The most important feature of your exercise routine includes a playdate. We encourage you to always include social interaction into your exercise routine because doing it solo every day wont promote longevity as much as it does together. Tennis, badminton, and soccer are all better for longevity than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.

This is a loving tip from us. But in this article, were going to share a physiologists recommendation for exercising to promote longevity.

Know that your health and lifespan matter. We tend to neglect this knowledge in our daily lives, but essentially knowing this is whats going to determine your experience of growing older. Its a reality that every individual will face so you might as well soak up the knowledge now.

Theres a lot of evidence demonstrating that exercising regularly will promote longevity. Moreover, it protects us against life-threatening complications, such as heart disease. The case for exercise could not be clearer. Yet, when it comes to how much you need to do to extend your lifespan, the jury is often out. Research is increasingly shedding light on the area. However, one study shows that just a little exercise can go a long way.

The NHS recommends adults should do at least 150 minutes (two hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. This includes cycling or fast walking every week to reap the health benefits. Whilst doing as much exercise as possible is great. The British Journal of Sports Medicine, explains that even 10 minutes of exercise a week a day can reduce your risk of developing life-threatening complications.

On the whole, it seems that team sports are still better. Partner sports seems to be much more enjoyable, which can potentially enhance mental health and increase long-term adherence to an exercise routine. Plenty of research has also shown that moderate exercise tends to be as good or better for longevitythan vigorous activities such as running, which can take a toll on the body over time.

Then you get something called, NEAT. According to Blue Zones, this is classified as NonExercise Activity Thermogenesis. This happens with any activity except sleeping, performing sports, or exercises. Think: yard work, walking to work, housework, or even fidgeting. In fact, you might be reminded of those people who never sit down, fidget, or are really hyper. Their NEAT must be really high.

If you sit a lot throughout your days, doing an hour workout wont make up for that time. Whereas, those people with high NEAT scores fidget, get up and walk around for no reason. They move their arms and legs more and generally get more movement throughout the day than others. Research shows that sitting less and moving more will help promote longevity. This also helps us to balance our energy intake which can help control our weight. Therefore, if you dont move much throughout your day, you might be experiencing more inflammation.

Just making small movements adds up. It has a cumulative effect on your health and will increase your metabolic rate. That means that every movement you do, besides exercising or sleeping contributes to your NEAT. Working at a computer all day will decrease your NEAT, so if this is you try your best to move more so you can improve your well-being. It may even be the difference between gaining or losing weight, due to the accumulation of energy throughout the day.Apparently, a c-reactive protein related to inflammation, triglycerides, and blood sugar increases in those who dont achieve NEAT on a regular basis.

So we know now that interacting with other people whilst exercising is probably your best bet. We also know that sitting all day is not beneficial to our health because it impacts our NEAT. That means establishing a happy balance between solo exercise, social sports and general movement throughout our day is a great place to start. But, what about the kinds of exercise we are doing?

Fortunately, Mind-Body Green shares these very helpful tips from an exercise physiologist, Ben Greenfield. Although prioritizing any type of physical activity goes a long way, Greenfield recommends two specific exercise tips to help promote longevity.

According to Greenfield, the fast-twitch muscles are involved in activities like sprinting, jumping, or strength training. In an MBG podcast episode, Greenfield explains that our fast-twitch muscles are powerful and explosive. Better yet, they are more favorable for overall longevity.

This doesnt necessarily mean you have to engage in powerlifting or speed races to promote longevity. He says you can do very short, powerful, quick, explosive exercises with bodyweight only. These exercises are commonly referred to as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) routines.

Its always better to challenge your body and not allow yourself to get stuck in a routine.

Greenfield recommends alternating these fast-twitch exercises with slow-twitch exercises throughout the week. He says the slow exercises can include long-distance jogging, walking, swimming, or lifting light weights.

On your HIIT days, complete 7- to 10-minute exercises where you move very quickly and explosively. Keep moving for 30 seconds on and 15 seconds off. Example moves include plyometrics, lunges, explosive push-ups, etc.

Research shows that combining both types of exercise ( for at least 150 minutes each week) is the best way to promote longevity. Endurance exercises, including HIIT programs, promote healthy aging by strengthening cardiorespiratory fitness. Strength training, even with light weights, can slow the loss of muscle mass, which naturally occurs in the aging process.

Ensure you get a good, healthy balance going with what we have recommended in this article. Plan out your days and decide on what youll be doing when.

Then be sure to mix up your workouts and move more throughout your day.

However, activating fast-twitch muscles through HIIT workouts and incorporating light strength training will help keep the body physically and mentally fit. This will help promote healthy aging and, ultimately, longevity.

Give HIIT Pilates a try. Its the perfect fusion to activate and challenge every muscle group.

What you need to know about colon cancer symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment – Insider – INSIDER

Posted: September 1, 2020 at 11:51 am

Chadwick Boseman, the actor best known as the star of "Black Panther," died of complications related to colon cancer on Friday, four years after a stage-three diagnosis. He was 43.

Boseman's death came as a shock to fans worldwide. He had never publicly spoken about the illness.

In the past three decades, research has consistently found rising rates of colon cancer and related illnesses like rectal cancer among younger people.

People older than 50 are still at a greater risk of developing colon cancer overall. However, people under 50 are more often diagnosed with hard-to-treat, advanced forms of the disease.

One study involving more than 1 million people with colon cancer from 2004 to 2015 found that 51.6% of those under 50 were diagnosed with stage three or four cancer, while 40% of people over 50 were diagnosed at those later stages.

Bowel cancers can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue are common with ailments like hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease, or irritable bowel syndrome. What's more, routine testing isn't offered to many people under 50 in several countries, including the US.

If caught early, colon cancer is very treatable, and the five-year relative survival rate is about 90% if the cancer doesn't spread, according to the American Cancer Society.

But it's common for people to have no symptoms until the later stages of the illness. That's why it's important to get screened regularly, especially if you have risk factors.

Genetics is a major risk factor for colon cancer. There's evidence that bowel cancers are more likely in younger people with a family history of the disease.

Eating habits also play a role in bowel-cancer risk diets low in fiber and/or high in red meat and processed meat have been linked to an increased risk of the disease. Some experts have hypothesized that the recent popularity of meat-heavy diets like keto and paleo is partly to blame for rising cancer rates.

Obesity has also been linked to an increased risk of bowel cancer, as have habits like smoking and excessive alcohol use.

The fashion magazine Mr. Porter said in a 2018 profile of Boseman that he was "mostly vegan."

Studies have found that Black people may be disproportionately affected by colon cancer in the US, in part because of racism and barriers to getting medical treatment.

Studies have also found that stress stemming from racism and the hurdles that Black people have historically faced in the US also have tangible effects on health.

Many symptoms of colon cancer can also indicate more mundane illnesses.

For instance, changes in bowel movements like constipation or diarrhea could indicate colon cancer but also a plethora of other ailments, including infections, irritable bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease.

Abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue can also be symptoms of colon cancer.

A major warning sign of colon cancer is rectal bleeding or bloody stool. While this could also be hemorrhoids, you should consult a medical professional if you experience this.

Another unique indicator of colon cancer is the feeling of being unable to empty the bowels, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Treatment varies depending on how far the cancer has advanced and where in the bowel it is, but it can include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.

The first-line treatment for colon cancer at stages zero or one is surgery to remove the affected part of the colon.

However, past stage two, when the cancer is still localized but is growing, chemotherapy is considered, particularly if it has perforated the colon and/or appears at risk of resurging after surgery.

Stage three, when the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to other organs, requires surgery and chemotherapy, with additional radiation if the cancer is advancing quickly.

At stage four, when the cancer has spread to other organs, patients can undergo a combination of chemotherapy and surgery, radiation therapy, and other targeted treatments to try to treat the cancer or to alleviate the pain associated with it.

Bowel cancer is diagnosed with a variety of tests, including stool tests, colonoscopies, X-rays, or CT scans of the bowels. A regular physical exam can help identify any abnormalities and detect the cancer sooner.

The American Cancer Society recommends that all adults over 45 be tested regularly for colon cancer, even if they have no symptoms. However, your personal risk factors can determine how frequently you should be tested, so it's best to talk to your doctor about your health history and schedule tests accordingly.

"It is very clear that signs and symptoms that might indicate colorectal cancer in those under 50, and particularly rectal bleeding, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional promptly and not dismissed as 'only hemorrhoids' or 'normal,'" Dr. David Greenwald, a professor of medicine and gastroenterology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, previously told Insider.
