To see if weight training might help boost patients' quality of life, researchers assigned 86 women who had finished their cancer treatment to either a weight-training program or no weight training.

Those in the weight-training group were taught how to perform nine common weight-based exercises using free weights and resistance machines to work the muscles of their chest, back, shoulders, arms, buttocks, hips and thighs.

"They put in two sessions a week, one hour each time, for six months," says study co-author Dr.

Tetsuya Ohira, a visiting scholar in the division of epidemiology and community health at the University of Minnesota.

Ohira and his team assessed the women's body fat, weight, bone density and upper and lower body strength, among other measurements.

And they asked the women about daily problems and their quality of life, such as state of mind and satisfaction with relationships.

"Our study showed that upper body strength and muscles improved more than lower body," Ohira says.

Since previous studies have found that aerobic exercise such as walking is good for improving the quality of life in breast cancer survivors, Ohira says he now believes that adding weight training to aerobic exercise "could improve the quality of life even more." The women who trained with weights had increases in lean muscle mass, compared with those who did not.

Those who pumped iron also "had a moderately improved quality of life," Ohira says.

South Orange, NJ 07079 March 27 2006 By Alan CarubaThe first thing we have to do is fire all the reporters, editors and headline writers who have not got a clue about “global warming” except that it scares the hell out of readers and sells newspapers.In late March, my local daily carried an Associated Press article by Randolph E.

Schmid with a headline, “Global warming warns Earth of a sea change.” It ran the story across six columns and threw in a photo of the Greenland ice sheet.

Such stories are best distinguished by how many times the words “probably”, “may”, and “could” occur in the body of the text.

These are very slippery words used by so-called scientists trying to justify their latest “findings.” If you look for something hard enough, you are bound to find some signs, some indicators, some intimations that something is happening or about to happen.

Every day people find a reason to buy stocks whose value disappears for unforeseen reasons.Schmid began his article with his opinion that “The Earth is already shaking beneath melting ice as rising temperatures threaten to shrink polar glaciers and raise sea levels around the world.” You had to read to the end of the second paragraph to learn that he was proclaiming all this would occur thanks to “new research appearing in today’s issue of the journal Science.” The only problem is that this pathetic excuse for a scientific publication has been ban...
