New research backs up what many parents and coaches have suspected about young athletes who play just one sport all year around. They’re more likely to be injured than kids who mix it up a bit. Researchers with the Loyola University Health System looked at 154 athletes, all around 14 years old, who were visiting [...] Doctors might want to start prescribing gym memberships to migraine sufferers. According to a study in the International Journal of Sports Medicine, regular exercise can reduce the number and intensity of migraine headaches. Patients who took up a 10-week running program reported a drop of about 40% in the quantity and intensity of migraines – [...] If book smarts translated to field sense, NFL coaches would be desperately recruiting mathletes. But a soaring SAT score is the last thing you need on a football field. According to Jonah Lehrer, author of the 2009 bestseller How We Decide, “The velocity of the game makes thought impossible.” Instead of thinking, athletes rely of [...] A new study of 400,000 people in Taiwan who were followed for 8.5 years showed that even a minimal amount of exercise can help you live longer.

The NFL players and owners would do well to remember what happened the last time a strike effected an NFL season.
