What about elbow dislocations in Olympic weightlifters?

Research Topics

As I seek out the path in which I will potentially choose for the

future, I find it so difficult to focus on any one particular area of

research. I would love to hear about some of your individual passions of

study or even just areas of interest that you might feel to be an

interest track to seek out more knowledge on. Suggestions and ideas on

some topics you may find interesting would be extremely helpful in my

quest for a research topic. Thanks,

I have some researchers at KU Med Center that are interested in shoulder

injuries and preventative training protocols for high school / club

How about vibration exercise and how it fits as a training and

recovery tool? For example, see www.nlm.nih.gov and do search on

vibration exercise. Also, may be osteogenic stimulus and improve

blood flow. So, has health implications too.

Hi ,

What about elbow dislocations in Olympic weightlifters?

I am an Olympic weight lifter who has dislocated his elbow, to be more exact

a posterior dislocation of the ulna. To my understanding this is a very

rare injury?

I think that's an excellent idea. Since the BodyGem/metabolic testing has been

of interest lately, perhaps we could discuss the topic of weight loss based on

RMR or REE.

I'm looking into purchasing a REEVue metabolic testing device from Korr.

(www.korr.com) This product has not come up during the BodyGem/MedGem

discussions. It's *not* hand-held (like Body/MedGem), is FDA-approved (MedGem

is also, FYI) and is used in hospital and bariatric settings. Korr also offers

the MetaCheck (basically the same machine, but with a fitness application). I'm

using a demo REEVue machine right now, and it's been fun experimenting with it.

I personally found that my RMR is about 25% above my predicted value (from the

-Benedict equation), so in theory I can eat 300-400 calories more per day

than I could if I based my diet on an equation. Also, if I ate too few calories

(my equation-predicted RMR), I could, again in theory, put my body in a " famine

state " and derail my weight loss efforts. Interesting enough, the REEVue

printout, which caluculates a " weight loss zone " based on measured RMR and

estimated daily activity calorie burn (a percentage of measured RMR) is right on

with the number of calories I personally need to eat to lose weight (based on

very detailed food diaries).

I do all the " right " things to raise RMR-- consistent weight training, frequent

meals, 7-8 hours of sleep nightly -- so I expected it to be above normal. I've

tested my RMR first thing in the morning, immediately after eating a large meal

(that thermic effect of food, or TEF, really does exist!), after exercising

(ditto for thermic effect of activity, or TEA). A REEVue test only requires a

one-hour fast (2-3 hours gives more accurate results), and it's recommended that

a person avoid caffeine and exercise on the test day. I've tested it under

various conditons, and my RMR comes pretty close to my just-out-of-bed test.

My next experiment is to test it in various stages of my menstrual cycle to see

how that affects RMR since I've seen studies that show RMR varies with menstrual

cycle phases. I have a friend who's a nursing mother, and I'm going to follow

her changing RMR as she weans the baby and loses her pregnancy weight. I also

have a friend who's overweight but is about to undergo a " boot camp " program at

the gym where I work. I want to see if the training really does raise her RMR.

Of course, one has to consider that a significant weight loss will likely result

in decreased RMR since there's less body mass to maintain; however, that loss

can, agian in theory, be partly offset by increasing lean muscle mass.

It's been an interesting journey learning about all this, and I welcome others'

inputs. I'm an ACE-certified personal trainer and Lifestyle and Weight

Manangement Consultant, but I don't have an exercise science degree. I try to

learn as much as possible from recent textbooks and reviewing scientific studies

online, but I'm eager to learn as much as possible on the subject of metabolism.
