But these notions had never been verified in a lab. So in 1975 a British physiology professor at the University of Leeds, G. Romaine Hervey, set up an experiment to determine whether high doses of steroids truly boosted athletic performance or just gave users a psychological edge. "We knew young men who lifted weights felt that anabolic steroids helped them lift more, but we really didn't know [if they did]," says Hervey, now 83. "And since steroids did seem to make them bigger, we wanted to see whether that was normal muscle or water or something else."Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:47:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/worklife/02/11/jobs.keep.shape/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/worklife/02/11/jobs.keep.shape/index.html#cnnSTCTextOver the years, countless magazine articles have promised you could "lose weight at work" or "tone up in 10 minutes at your desk."Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:19:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/diet.fitness/01/07/hm.kids.strength/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/diet.fitness/01/07/hm.kids.strength/index.html#cnnSTCTextYou would expect to find pre-algebra, American history and grammar in a middle-school curriculum, but what about a lifetime lesson in fitness?Mon, 07 Jan 2008 14:24:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/10/02/talkasia.iyengar/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/10/02/talkasia.iyengar/index.html#cnnSTCTextA 1938 yoga instruction video, the first of its kind.
