Associations of exercise-induced hormone profiles and gains in strength and hypertrophy in a large cohort after weight training - European Journal of Applied Physiology The purpose of this study was to investigate associations between acute exercise-induced hormone responses and adaptations to high intensity resistance training in a large cohort (n = 56) of young men. Acute post-exercise serum growth hormone (GH), free testosterone (fT), insulin-like growth factor....

The Guardian Caps do not protect the brain during collisions

The trouble with concussions
Experts said we don’t count on these new helmet caps to protect against concussions.

“The problem is that people confuse head injuries with brain injuries,” Dr. Jamshid Ghajar, a neurosurgeon and the president of the Brain Trauma Foundation, told me. “Helmets definitely help with head injuries,” like a fractured skull or injuries to the scalp, he noted, but they don’t help with concussions.

Concussions arise when a person’s neck bends and twists after the head is hit. That was apparent on Thursday when the Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion from a tackle that caused his neck to turn sharply.

“The neck is very flexible,” Dr. Ghajar said. “Its movement causes the brain injury problem, making the front part of the brain whiplash.” The front of the brain, he added, “is where we see concussions and severe brain injury.”

Race-car drivers wear helmets that actually protect them from concussions, Dr. Ghajar noted. The helmet holds the neck rigid so it cannot move in a collision. “Drivers have had collisions at over 200 miles per hour and no brain injury,” he said.

“Helmets and padding work if you have an iron neck,” Dr. Ghajar added.

Guardian Caps Don't Work, Nor Does it Affect Concussion Occurance in Athletes. The research is in.

The corpus callosum is a conduit allowing information to transmit from one side of the brain. What can be seen in this image are axons of the corpus callosum (red) navigating their way to the opposite cerebral hemisphere with the assistance of midline glial populations (green).
