Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures over time. Seizures are episodes of disturbed brain activity that cause changes in attention or behavior.
Temporal lobe epilepsy; Seizure disorder
Epilepsy occurs when permanent changes in the brain cause it to be too excitable or irritable. As a result, the brain sends out abnormal signals. This leads to repeated, unpredictable seizures. (A single seizure that does not happen again is not epilepsy.)
Epilepsy may be due to a medical condition or injury that affects the brain. Or the cause may be unknown (idiopathic).
Common causes of epilepsy include:
Epileptic seizures usually begin between ages 5 and 20. But they can happen at any age. There may be a family history of seizures or epilepsy.
Symptoms vary from person to person. Some people may have simple staring spells. Others have violent shaking and loss of alertness. The type of seizure depends on the part of the brain affected and cause of epilepsy.
Most of the time, the seizure is similar to the one before it. Some people with epilepsy have a strange sensation before each seizure. Sensations may be tingling, smelling an odor that is not actually there, or emotional changes. This is called an aura.
Your doctor can tell you more about the specific type of seizure you may have:
The doctor will perform a physical exam. This will include a detailed look at the brain and nervous system.
An EEG (electroencephalogram) will be done to check the electrical activity in the brain. People with epilepsy often have abnormal electrical activity seen on this test. In some cases, the test shows the area in the brain where the seizures start. The brain may appear normal after a seizure or between seizures.
To diagnose epilepsy or plan for epilepsy surgery, you may need to:
Tests that may be done include:
Head CT or MRI scan often done to find the cause and location of the problem in the brain.
Treatment for epilepsy includes medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery.
If epilepsy is due to a tumor, abnormal blood vessels, or bleeding in the brain, surgery to treat these disorders may make the seizures stop.
Medication to prevent seizures, called anticonvulsants, may reduce the number of future seizures:
Many epilepsy medicines may affect the health of your bones. Talk to your doctor about whether you need vitamins and other supplements.
Epilepsy that does not get better after two or three anti-seizure drugs have been tried is called "medically refractory epilepsy." In this case, the doctor may recommend surgery to:
Some children are placed on a special diet to help prevent seizures. The most popular one is the ketogenic diet. A diet low in carbohydrates, such as the Atkins diet, may also be helpful in some adults. Be sure to discuss these options with your doctor before trying them.
Lifestyle or medical changes can increase the risk of a seizure in adults and children with epilepsy. Talk with your doctor about:
Other considerations:
The stress of having epilepsy or being a caretaker of someone with epilepsy can often be helped by joining a support group . In these groups, members share common experiences and problems.
Some people with epilepsy may be able to reduce or even stop their anti-seizure medicines after having no seizures for several years. Certain types of childhood epilepsy go away or improve with age, usually in the late teens or 20s.
For many people, epilepsy is a lifelong condition. In these cases, anti-seizure drugs need to be continued. There is a very low risk of sudden death with epilepsy.
Call your local emergency number (such as 911) if:
In the case of someone who has had seizures before, call 911 for any of these emergency situations:
Call your health care provider if any new symptoms occur:
There is no known way to prevent epilepsy. Proper diet and sleep, and staying away from illegal drugs and alcohol may decrease the likelihood of triggering seizures in people with epilepsy.
Reduce the risk of head injury by wearing helmets during risky activities. This can lessen the likelihood of a brain injury that leads to seizures and epilepsy.

Mentor Graphics Attacks Verification Bottlenecks With New Questa Verification Products Supports SystemVerilog, VHDL, PSL,and SystemC
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 16, 2005- Mentor Graphics (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced its new line of Questa™ verification products. The Questa verification products offer built-in support for testbench automation, coverage-driven verification (CDV), assertion-based verification (ABV), and transaction-level modeling (TLM).
This initial release includes two new products: Questa SystemVerilog and Questa Advanced Functional Verification (AFV). Both products utilize a new verification technology, QuestaSim, the first standards-based, single-kernel verification engine that integrates an HDL simulator, a constraint solver, an assertion engine, functional coverage, and a common user interface.
"Every survey indicates that verification remains a huge bottleneck in design cycles, and it's clear that the industry must transition to new verification methodologies to eliminate the bottleneck," stated Robert Hum, vice president and general manager of Mentor Graphics Design Verification and Test division. "With Questa, designers can use the latest language standards and methodologies to find more bugs faster and increase verification productivity."
Standards Are Required For New Verification Methodologies
Over the last two years, several new languages targeted at verification have been standardized. The availability of these languages, SystemVerilog, SystemC and PSL, enables design teams to now move to new methodologies like CDV, ABV or TLM without the risk of getting stuck with proprietary languages or solutions.
According to Cliff Cummings, president of Sunburst Design, Inc. and an industry expert on Verilog and SystemVerilog, "We recognize the importance of SystemVerilog as the standard for system-level verification, which will enable a variety of verification methods throughout the design flow. We believe Mentor's Questa solution will increase the adoption of SystemVerilog for advanced verification."
Questa SystemVerilog Enables Verilog Designers to Move Forward
Questa SystemVerilog incorporates the key components of the emerging IEEE P1800 SystemVerilog standard - design constructs, testbench constructs, assertions and the Direct Programming Interface (DPI) - into a single-kernel verification solution. Verilog users now have a standards-based path to the new verification methodologies ensuring future reuse and design portability. The integrated solution also offers performance and debugging advantages over the multi-tool, multi-language solutions users have to put together today.
Questa AFV Provides True Mixed-Language Verification
Questa AFV provides support for SystemVerilog, VHDL, PSL, and SystemC in a single-kernel verification solution. Targeted at mixed-language flows, Questa AFV enables designers to choose the languages that best address their needs. VHDL users will benefit greatly from tight links to the SystemVerilog verification capabilities for constrained-random testbench generation and functional coverage.
Scalable Verification with Other Mentor Graphics Technologies
The Questa products represent the newest addition to Mentor's Scalable Verification solutions. Questa AFV and Questa SystemVerilog are the first of a series of new verification solutions. Questa products integrate with existing Mentor Graphics products to create customized solutions for specific methodologies. ModelSim{reg} users can easily add Questa functionality with add-on options, and the Seamless{reg}, Advance™ MS, 0-In{reg}, and VStation™ product lines are compatible with the new Questa products.
Product Availability
The Questa AFV platform will ship in Q2 2005 and is listed at $42K (USD) perpetual. Questa SystemVerilog, will also ship in Q2 2005 and is listed at $28K (USD) perpetual. Term pricing is available.

Kronos Characterizer Plus
Cell Library Characterization
Kronos Characterizer Plus is a high-throughput, general purpose cell library characterization tool for standard cells, memory, IO Pad, and custom macros.
Features and Benefits
- Characterize an entire library in days instead of weeks with highly efficient, parallel algorithms
- Optimize and debug complex circuits in minutes with a unique, graphical, single-step mode and integrated waveform analysis
- Don't buy what you already have… Kronos is not packaged with a simulator; instead it takes advantage of existing simulation licenses.
- High Performance Integration with Eldo Classic
- All-in-one solution: integrated platform for cell library characterization of standard cells, memory, I/O, and complex cells
- Easy memory cell configuration
- Automatic memory characterization: netlist reduction, fast simulation techniques, creation of complete Liberty models for all corners
- High throughput with fast turnaround time and multi-simulation job control
- Build new or re-characterize existing libraries
- Create state-dependent models for timing and power
- Supports Liberty, Verilog, VHDL/VITAL
- IBIS model generation and validation
- NLDM, CCS, and ECSM model generation
- Accurate timing, power, and noise models
- Interfaces with Kronos Analyzer for library validation, analysis, and reporting
- Complete user control of configurations and output model formatting
Kronos Characterizer Solutions
Cell Library Characterization
Without correctly characterized libraries, an entire design project and millions of dollars in design and fabrication time may be at risk. Designing at the wrong environmental corner or not taking advantage of a special operating voltage may lead to a slower, larger design that wastes power or takes much longer to close timing.
Kronos Characterizer Plus quickly produces accurate performance models for standard cells, memory, I/Os, and complex cells within an advanced, integrated environment. It characterizes timing, power, and noise for design synthesis and timing verification systems.
Kronos Characterizer Plus is able to generate Liberty and Verilog/Vital models for a wide variety of cells. Large circuits, such as memories, are nearly impossible to simulate directly with an analog circuit simulator. However, it is possible to generate a subset of the original netlist that accurately represents the entire memory behavior because usually only a small portion of a memory is active during typical operations. Since characterization involves running a large number of circuit simulations at different input and output conditions with the same core netlist, netlist reduction can result in a tremendous CPU time reduction and greater accuracy.
Kronos Characterizer Plus introduces a netlist trimming flow that first performs simulation using a fast SPICE simulator, such as ADiT™, or a faster SPICE simulator, such as Eldo® Premier, to reduce the netlist based on node activity and netlist structure. Since characterization involves running a large number of circuit simulations at different input and output conditions with the same core netlist, netlist reduction can result in a tremendous CPU time reduction and greater accuracy.
Kronos Characterizer Plus works with Kronos Analyzer, which enables designers to compare the effects of SPICE model changes, layout changes, and cell performance optimizations. It also validates characterized libraries against previous library versions and/or against golden models.
Versatile Model Creation and Support
Kronos Characterizer Plus's advanced algorithms and efficient job distribution reduces characterization time from weeks to days. Complex flip-flops that would normally take 30 minutes to complete on a single machine can finish in as little as one minute. During characterization, SPICE simulations are continuously monitored. Numerous data checks and recovery mechanisms significantly improve turn-around time by pinpointing specific model results.
At 45 nm and below, speed and power consumption are much more sensitive to environmental conditions, including voltage and noise. Producing accurate models at the appropriate conditions is critical to achieving design success. Kronos Characterizer quickly generates accurate and complete timing and power models. It incorporates proprietary methods for noise immunity and signal integrity to avoid design problems that otherwise might not be detected until failure analysis. Kronos Characterizer creates accurate timing models using correct input patterns and realistic waveforms.
Kronos Characterizer Plus has a highly customizable modeling environment that gives the user complete control of input stimulus and pattern sequencing. Bus pin models and pin aliases provide the versatility to create precise IO Pad libraries with all the required worst-case representations. Because Kronos Characterizer is a general-purpose modeling system, advanced models can be created for any circuit. Advanced Kronos Characterizer technology enables building Synopsys CCS or Cadence ECSM models that are improved for timing accuracy and power—especially critical for 90 nm and below.
Kronos Characterizer Plus supports Liberty advanced power models, for level shifters and other power control techniques, as well as Verilog, which contains user-defined primitive (UDP) statements for power pins and power gating. An option for building Liberty noise models creates noise immunity and propagation data.
A versatile state-dependent specification system creates state-dependent models for timing and power. An integrated waveform viewing environment allows users to rapidly identify problems in circuit behavior and works with all supported simulators. This environment also provides a true, real-time view into the object-oriented library configuration.
Kronos Characterizer Plus can be quickly and easily configured by importing an existing library. Kronos Characterizer uses formal mapping methods when importing cells and handles all technology setup. Custom models are created using Kronos Characterizer's versatile and efficient object methodology. Mentor provides extensive examples for modeling complex sequential cells and many other components.
Eldo Classic from Mentor Graphics is the preferred SPICE simulator for Kronos Characterizer. The integration between Eldo Classic and Kronos Characterizer is optimized to take full advantage of Eldo Classic's performance, accuracy, and quick elaboration. Kronos is also integrated with Synopsys HSPICE simulator.
Kronos Characterizer Plus enables designers to check data completeness against expected results and cross-checks library views with built-in validation utilities. HTML or PDF datasheets can be produced from user customizable TCL templates with the Kronos Characterizer datasheet generator. User-specific report or dynamic web-query can be created, and Verilog, Vital, and VHDL front-end views generated.

Pesed, a 2,300-year-old Egyptian mummy, has left Westminster College for the first time in 115 years for a five-month working vacation in Harrisburg.
The mummy, and over 100 other ancient Egytian artifacts from the Westminster College Cultural Artifacts Collection, will be part of the "Egypt: Untold Journeys" exhibit starting Oct. 20 at the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts in Harrisburg. Following the 90-day exhibit, Pesed and the other artifacts will be returned to Westminster.
The exhibit will focus on the stories of about 80 Westminster College missionaries in Egypt; Egypt's journey through civilization; and the life of Pesed. The film, "Mysteries of Ancient Egypt," will be featured at the Center's Imax theatre.
This will be a working vacation for Pesed, who will undergo radio-carbon dating, x-rays, and a CAT scan during the trip. Dr. Jonathan Elias, an Egyptologist and exhibit designer at the Whitaker Center, hopes to solve some of Pesed's mysteries and determine if she is related to a mummy on display in a Buffalo museum and one that was damaged in a fire at the College of Wooster.
Pesed has called Westminster home since 1885, when she was donated to the College by The Rev. John Giffen, an 1872 Westminster graduate who was working as a missionary in Egypt. Her last formal trip off campus was a two-week jaunt 25 miles north to Greenville for the 1886 Citizen's Hose Company Exposition.
According to folklore, Pesed had an active social life during her first century at Westminster. Her head allegedly ended up in the beds of a few unsuspecting coeds, and her entire body would occasionally make a guest appearance.
The mummy was professionally restored by Joan Gardner of the Carnegie Museum thanks to the energy and fundraising effort of Susan Grandy Graff, a 1985 Westminster graduate who tackled the project during her undergraduate years.
For the past few decades Pesed has settled down and watched students study in the Mack Science Library from her glass enclosed display. She is believed to be the mummy of Lady Pesed Ma Rheres, young and single daughter of Heshor, priest of Khem, and his wife the Lady Urt. Khem was a small Egyptian town on the Nile near the present city of Luxor. The mummy was excavated from the city of Akhmim, about 235 miles south of Cairo.
For more information about the exhibit at the Whitaker Center contact Dr. Jonathan Elias at (717) 221-8201, ext. 1043. For information about Westminster's Cultural Artifacts Collection contact Dr. Sam Farmerie at (724) 946-7053.

Dolly Parton costume could cost 'Toddlers & Tiaras' mom custody of daughter
August 22, 2012
There's trouble brewing in the lipsticked and hairsprayed world of toddler pageants.
Little Madisyn "Maddy" Verst is a now-6-year-old little girl who has appeared on the popular TLC (un)reality show 'Toddlers & Tiaras'. You may remember her even if you don't watch the show because she appeared on the cover of People magazine a while back with the headline "Gone Too Far?"
Well Maddy's mom and dad are currently locked in a custody battle and one of the dad's fuels for his fire is a Dolly Parton costume the little girl wore on the show that featured a padded bra and butt.
A Kentucky court-appointed psychologist is siding with the father, Bill Verst, saying that the child's participation in beauty pageants, and in particular the Dolly Parton and a "sexy" cop outfit, are damaging to the girl and is recommending that the parents share temporary custody with the father getting primary residential custody.
Lindsay Jackson, the girl's mother, told the media on Saturday, "If [the judge decides] that Maddy needs to live with her dad because she does pageants with me, then that opens the door for any parent to challenge anybody on activity that a kid does, period," Jackson said. "We could really open up Pandora's Box to set a precedent all over the world. What if years ago Gabby Douglas' father said, 'She's not going to be a gymnast. She's not going to move away from home and practice gymnastics because I won't allow it,' and he and Gabby's mother got into a fight? We wouldn't have gold medal winners, we wouldn't have Miss America, we wouldn't have Miss USA."
The next hearing is scheduled for August 31.

How do I wash the PDX Waterproof Shell?
Hand wash the jacket in warm water and mild liquid laundry detergent. Hand washing minimizes unnecessary stress on the garment. A soft bristle tooth brush helps in removing any bug strikes or road debris.
Rinse the jacket with clean water to remove all detergent. Do not use any form of oxygenated detergent, bleach, fabric softener, or dry cleaning chemicals. These items will damage the jacket.
Drip dry only; do not use a machine.

| Posted by Ruben | (New York City, NY)Saved a lot of money with this. I'll be100% honest and I am kind of sorry for what I'll say, but I do speed up on the highways when I come to the US. Sorry, but to my mind speed limits are way too low in your country. It's hard to meet the limits when one day you drive on autobahns with no speed limits at all, and then the next thing you know, you are in the USA and you have to live with around 60 mph. So, to cut a long story short, I've got this unit to avoid tickets and replaced my previous detector that had lots of false alarms.

In my deep-cleaning of my closet, I found a group of poems I had critiqued by another poet and his responses to me on why he thought they weren't working. He gave me some of the best advice I've ever received from a poet...ever.
Here's a few things he said about three of my poems that weren't working well and some things I try to remember when I write --
Poem #1 / Problem #1-- The Unevolved Poem
There is no evolution in the poem. It's interesting, but the poem doesn't have a real sense of purpose, it never really goes beyond it's topic. And as an added bonus, the poem also lacks energy.
Idea to fix it-- Go back to the first moment I was compelled to write about this and try again, try a new path, try to go further, to push the topic further and see if it evolves. Think deeply about what sparked the poem, then allow the poem to move past this original idea.
Poem #2 / Problem # 2 -- The Coward
The poem starts with a sense of urgency and begins to evolve, about halfway through, the poem loses its courage. This is a poem that has purpose, but then the writer becomes afraid of where its going (for whatever reasons) and doesn't follow through.
Idea to fix it-- Mark the place where the poem begins to go off track, think about what you're afraid to say, and write it anyway.
Poem 3 / Problem #3 -- The Repeat Offender
This poem has a purpose and then repeats it, again and again. It needs a shift, it needs to move forward as it stays in 2nd gear.
The repetition works for awhile, but creates a need on the part of the reader, a need for change. Again this poem lacks evolution. The poem does the same ol' song and dance the whole way through.
Idea to Fix -- Be aware of how the poem is repeating itself and how repetition can become boring if the reader knows what to expect. Create surprise by allowing the poem to go to a new place that surprised both writer and reader. Go through the poem and highlight the strongest parts and delete the rest. Write, wash, repeat. Stop trying to control the poem, allow the poem to lead you to a new place. Put foot on clutch, shift to 3rd...

A ketone urine test measures the amount of ketones in the urine.
Ketone bodies - urine; Urine ketones
Urine ketones are usually measured as a "spot test." This is available in a test kit that you can buy at a drug store. The kit contains dipsticks coated with chemicals that react with ketone bodies. A dipstick is dipped in the urine sample. A color change indicates the presence of ketones.
This article describes the ketone urine test that involves sending collected urine to a lab.
A clean-catch urine sample is needed. The clean-catch method is used to prevent germs from the penis or vagina from getting into a urine sample. To collect your urine, the health care provider may give you a special clean-catch kit that contains a cleansing solution and sterile wipes. Follow instructions exactly so that the results are accurate.
You may have to follow a special diet. Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking medicines that may affect the test.
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Ketones build up when the body needs to break down fats and fatty acids to use as fuel. This is most likely to occur when the body does not get enough sugar or carbohydrates.
Ketone testing is most often done if you have type 1 diabetes and:
A negative test result is normal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal result means you have ketones in your urine. The results are usually listed as small, moderate, or large as follows:
This may be due to diabetic ketoacidosis, a problem that occurs in people with Type 1 diabetes. It occurs when the body has no insulin or the insulin does not cause the right signal in fat cells to prevent fat from being broken down to form ketones.
An abnormal result may also be due to:
There are no risks with this test.

Little Acmeshall opened her eyes. It was still dark outside, but she got down from her bed and washed her face using the bucket of water in the washroom. It wasn't like any other regular day. It was Easter.
Acmeshall washed her face and mouth with water. The 6-year-old girl woke her mother up. Her mother, Lodis, enjoyed seeing her daughter's hurry for Easter.
Acmeshall was very happy as she wore a brand-new white skirt specially made by her mother. She said her prayers and waited for her parents to take her to church.
At the same time half a kilometer away, an 8-year-old boy, Razu, was also getting ready for the morning devotion of Easter Sunday. Things were a little different here.
Like many of the children registered in Compassion in Bangladesh, Razu belongs to a Hindu family. His family came to know about the Christians and Jesus Christ through Compassion.
Razu's family earns their living selling milk from their cow and goats. The cow and the goats were gifts from Razu's sponsor. Though Razu's parents and grandfather are from another religion, they allow Razu to participate in every program of the Compassion child development center and church.
This was the first year Razu would celebrate Easter. He reminded his mother the night before to wake him up in the morning. His mother didn't know anything about Easter, so Razu told her the story about the resurrection of Lord Jesus.
The next morning his mother called him early. He left his bed and prepared for church. He didn't have any new clothes for Easter, so he put on his only shirt. His elder brother, Sazu, also got dressed up with him for church. Their grandfather, Ramcharan, took them to church. For Ramcharan, Easter was just another festival, only for the Christians.
Acmeshall entered the church and joined her Compassion friends at the front row. She was too little to understand the entire spiritual concept of Christ's resurrection. However, she understood two things well: Jesus is alive and Jesus loves her. These were the most important things for this little girl.
Acmeshall learned at the Compassion child development center how to pray and how to thank God for His graces. She prayed for her own family, her sponsor and family, her friends and for her teachers.
Razu was also at church. He learned many new things about Jesus. He loved all the carols and Bible verses. He also liked how the pastor boldly declared the resurrection of Christ. It was a new experience for him. At the end of the service he said his prayer.
After the devotion, Acmeshall and Razu both spent some time with their friends. As it was a holy day, they returned to their home.
At home, Acmeshall played with her younger sister and cousins. Her mother prepared special sweets and snacks for the celebration. She made pies, called Pitha, out of flour, coconut, sugar, molasses, eggs and rice. She made custards, called Payesh, from rice, milk, molasses, sugar and coconut. They shared food with everybody.
They also had a special meal at lunchtime, beef and vegetable curry with potatoes, with lemon squeezed over it.
At evening, Acmeshall visited house to house with her friends to share the merriment of Easter with everybody.
The scenario at Razu's house was completely opposite.
There was no special food for them. Razu didn't have his breakfast, so he was hungry. At lunchtime his mother served him rice with little vegetables. No sweets for Razu or Sazu. They spent Easter day like any other regular day.
Along with Razu, thousands of poor Christian children all over Bangladesh couldn't distinguish Easter day from a regular day. They are going through such poverty that celebrating Easter with new clothes and delicious food is a luxury for them.
In Bangladesh, Easter is considered as the second major festival for the Christians, after Christmas. The non-Christian people have very limited ideas about Easter. They think of it as one of the additional religious festivals.
As the Muslims and Hindus don't believe in the resurrection of Christ, they don't show any curiosity about this occasion. However, the Christian community of Bangladesh celebrates this glorious occasion with great joy and arrangements.
The celebration styles at the villages are different than that of the urban areas. In the villages and the rural areas, the most important part is the morning devotion at church, which take place around 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning.
After that, the Christian families share sweets and pies with their relatives and non-Christian neighbors.
The tradition of new clothes is also a part of Easter. The capable parents try to buy new clothes for their children, not dress clothes, but just everyday clothes. The exchange of gifts like Christmas time is not common.
The lifestyle of the people at the villages is very simple, and they celebrate Easter in a simple way and that brings an exceptional flavor to this joyous occasion. Their simple lifestyle allows them to focus completely on the resurrection rather than on fancy clothing or food.
Acmeshall's mother, Lodis, shared her Easter experience with us.
"Easter is very important for us, as it tell us about the resurrection of our Lord. I am very happy that my daughter learned at the Compassion child development center that Jesus is alive. She can pray herself, and she is building a great relationship with God."
Little Acmeshall was very excited about Easter.
"Did you see my new skirt? My mother made it for me. We had a great Easter day. I know Jesus is Alive and he will come to take me. I love Jesus."
In the capital Dhaka, the most exciting part of Easter Sunday is the Sun Rise Service. It is the special morning devotion, arranged in front of the Parliament building before the sun rises.
More than 15,000 Christians from all over Dhaka join the Morning Prayer to celebrate the precious occasion of Jesus' resurrection. This worship and prayer service is a symbol of fellowship and love.
The dawn of Easter Sunday starts with worshiping our God and remembering His most precious gift for humanity. After the service, greetings are exchanged by the people.
Almost every church arranges a special service and fellowship meal in the evening. Adults as well as the children together enjoy the happy moments.

Soccer beats jogging for fitness, study suggests
Players had more fun, shed more fat, built more muscle and were less tired
Associated Press
September 20, 2007
London – A friendly game of soccer works off more fat and builds up more muscle than jogging, new research shows. Danish scientists, who conducted their research on 37 men, also found the soccer players felt less tired after exercising than the joggers because they were having more fun. "This is good news for men who prefer to play football (soccer) with their mates," said Dr. Gary O'Donovan, a sports medicine expert at the University of Exeter who was not connected to the study. To measure how hard the men were working out, the researchers strapped heart monitors to their chests and compared blood samples and muscle tissue before and after matches and jogging sessions.
The researchers selected men with similar health profiles ages 31 to 33 and split them into groups of soccer players, joggers, and couch potatoes – who not surprisingly ended the three-month study in the worst shape. Each period of exercise lasted about one hour and took place three times a week. After 12 weeks, researchers found that the body fat percentage in the soccer players dropped by 3.7 percent, compared to about 2 percent for the joggers. The soccer players also increased their muscle mass by almost 4.5 pounds, whereas the joggers didn't have any significant change. Those who did no exercise registered little change in body fat and muscle mass. "Even though the football (soccer) players were untrained, there were periods in the game that were so intense that their cardiovascular was maximally taxed, just like professional football (soccer) players," said Dr. Peter Krustrup, head of Copenhagen University's department of exercise and sport sciences, who led the study.
The soccer players and the joggers had the same average heart rate, but the soccer players got a better workout because of the intense bursts of activity. Krustrup and his colleagues found there were periods during soccer matches when the players' hearts were pumping at 90% of their full capacity. But the joggers' hearts were never pushed as hard. Unlike the soccer players, the joggers consistently thought their runs were exhausting. "The soccer players were having more fun, so they were more focused on scoring goals and helping the team, rather than the feeling of strain and muscle pain," Krustrup said.
